K57S Jackal

The K57S Jackal, formally designated the K57S Light Strike Vehicle (K57S LSV), is a USC three-wheeled vehicle. It is used by the USC as a scouting vehicle. It features two front wheels, with one central rear wheel. The Jackal was designed and manufactured by Defense Transportation Corps exclusively for the United Space Command Marine Corps, but has recently become a favorite of those in Knight Operations.

Design details

The Jackal is a very fast scout vehicle designed for one pilot. Armed with a grenade launcher or machine gun. When decelerating, the Jackal's front splits into two separate wheels to form a tripod and retain stability. When bursts of speed are required, the two wheels pinion together automatically.
