In need of a fast scout vehicle capable of moving a small team of troops, the ISP Army asked for the development of a new off-road jeep. The result was the Sand Cat, a rugged, reliable vehicle capable of acting as a light transport and support vehicle.
Able to seat up to five people, the Sand Cat is a multipurpose combat vehicle used primarily for exploration, though it is also used to patrol major cities and outer territory planets. Capable of reaching 80 miles per hour on road, and 60 off road, the Sand Cat is reasonably fast, and is able to cross incredibly rough terrain due to its 4-wheel drive and independent suspension.
Lightly armed and armored, the M10 is not meant for heavy combat, only capable of providing support in small infantry-scale firefights. It is next to useless against vehicles of similar size, being armed only with a remote control 20 mm machine gun turret. Its armor is rated against small arms fire, but concentrated fire will eventually wear it down.
