Editors Notes
Welcome to issues #6, Part 2 of The Shadowrun Supplemental! This is the on-again off-again
Rigger/Vehicle issue, which as you can see, is on-again!

I sincerely apologize for the lateness of this issue. The reasons were multiple, a lot of it doing with
the winter break for most college and university students. Then, my internet provider canceling my
dial-up account without fore-warning me delayed it a few more days.

You will note that this is only one piece of the issue, the Rigger Black Book 1 Style Vehicles (Whew.
Say that 3 times fast.), the other two pieces being the normal issue (Online and available as I write
this.) and the Rigger 2 Style Vehicles (Still being worked on.)

The reasoning behind splitting the issue up was two-fold, number one to keep the file size down, and
two, because some people prefer RBB1 or Rigger 2 for various reasons, and only want the vehicles
that will work with their statistics.

Not only do we bring you a ton of great stuff to enhance and expand on Rigger2, but for those of you
that enjoy miniatures, or want to start, we’ve cut a deal with Ral Partha, check out the bargain
prices on vehicle related mini’s! The order form and details are available in the main issue of The
Shadowrun Supplemental #6

None of this issue is meant to be a challenge to FASA or to Jon Szeto. Instead, it’s meant to push the
rigger spectrum of Shadowrun even further than FASA hoped.

The Rest of the Normal Opening Credits and Stuff

KYU, who wrote up all these vehicles and found the appropriate pictures.
The rest of this is in the main part of The Shadowrun Supplemental #6. I wanted to keep this under
a page..

Picture Credits
The cover artwork for this issue is by Barry Beldam JR, the staff artist for TSS. The rest of the
artwork is culled from various sources, so here’s a listing of them — credit where it’s due!

Cars
The photos are taken from various motoring magazines, except Isdera taken from article by Markus
Kohlberger. The "Rover Ascot" is taken from the Manga "Appleseed", Story and Artwork by
Masamune Shirow. The design of the car is apparently by S. Mead, but I`m not sure on that point.

Bikes
All Bikes taken from "Appleseed" except Vector VS taken from Shadowrun: DMZ cover.

Others
Dorocilo, Argus, Mosquito and Scorpion taken from "Appleseed". G14 ACV and Mistral taken from
"Cyberpunk: Hardwired the Sourcebook". G14 ACV designed by Karl Martin, Mistral by Harrisson

» What’s this, you’re all saying? Well, in digging around some datastores, I found this old archived
conversation, from back in ’52. Since these cars are still around today, I figured we should publish it, so
you can know what you may be going up against.
I took the liberty of converting the old time-date stamps to the new universal format, for ease of
use.

Audi Avus
This purebred racing design
comes as a bit of a surprise from
Audi, better known for their
"A12" Sedan and their top-notch
rally car, the '53 Paris-Dakkar
Ground-Vehicle Winner, the "A9
GTX". The Avus was named in
honour of the rebuilt Avus
racetrack in Berlin, AGS. It was
destroyed in a bomb raid in '32, but has been reopened in '47. The test results so far seem to indicate
that the new Audi team might finally make the Euro-Rally Production Sports Circuit interesting
again! This publicly available version makes few compromises when it comes to performance. There
is only one colour scheme currently available, Chrome, Audi's own team colour.

» This is a Beauty! I've had the privilege of test-driving one of the Audi team cars on their track in the
Rhein-Ruhr Sprawl. It doesn't have an AP, but it doesn't need it; It's just glued to the track. I caned it up to
362 kph, but that's nowhere near Jiri Seman's 396 in his Dynamit. He's gonna crack the 400 soon, I tell
you.

» What, THE Sally Hill is on this board? Good luck for next season from me and the boys here at Motor

Aztechnology Motoring Division Atalante

The first entry into the sportscar market by
newly formed Aztechnology Motoring
Division combines the opulent luxury one
associates with a Nightsky with SOTA

combined with excellent engine sound
damping and a surround sound system of

Mitsubishi Citycab
This little one-seater is an automated passenger transportation
sytem designed to operate autonomously within city/corporate
limits. Despite its small size, many city councils and in particular
corporate facilities have taken to using this extraordinary vehicle.
It has proven very satisfactory in controlled environments, but
vandalism and terrorist abuse have forced Mitsubishi to upgrade
the system with extensive security. The Citycabs we see and laugh
at on the streets of Seattle are actually quite tough little critters. Their highly advanced Expert-pilot,
armor, chemsniffers and passive response systems are standard in all of them.

All Citycabs are equipped with a highly advanced quasi-AI autopilot that is able to make not only
route-, but defense-decisions as well. All citycabs are equipped with internal chemsniffers and both
internal and external gas- dispensers. There are no manual or cybernetic controls provided,
touchscreen or voicecontrol establish destination, after that the Autopilot takes over.

»These critters have saved my life at least once. Their armor and ability to react intelligently to threat-
situations makes them invaluable safe havens. If you get into one of these no un-motorised pursuit is
gonna get ya. Just make sure you have no explosives on you, and that includes ammo, or the
chemsniffers are gonna pick up on ya, in flows the stun gas and you wake up at your local Lone Star
Demolotions Department with a couple of cops asking you very intriguing questions.

»Never make the mistake of underestimating these in a corporate environment! The gas dispensers
have a large reservoir and they can carry ANY gas. They also tend to have password activation if passive
alert is triggered in the complex, and if you don't know the password , they gas you. But even if you
manage to get out of them they follow you around spewing gas and honking. They look so cute, but in
the thick they can be a real pain.

Chrysler-Nissan Camaro
This is the only competition to the Honda-GM 3220 ZX
in the low-budget sportscar market. Its smooth design
and solid construction have ensured this car good sales
ever since its introduction. Like with the 3220 ZX,
there is a Turbo option available.

»The Camaro is too big for a sportscar. It feels more like a sedan, which it basically is. It's got an
excellent motor, but fuel cosumption is just too high. The Turbo version is particularly unwieldy because of
the minimal autopilot.

Pontiac StratoCruiser
Pontiac is one of the few
remaining truly American car-
manufacturers. The StratoCruiser
is a sedan aimed at the medium to
upper medium strata of today's
society. It was built to provide
comfort and shows the same grace
on the road as the luxury cars
produced by Pontiac's competitors
while still showing the sporty image of Pontiac's legendary Griffin.

»It's probably the fastest sedan around, but it keeps with the old tradition of fuel-guzzling! It's got the
worst economy in it's class. If you can live with that it's a smooth ride, and given you find someone to rig
it up for silent running it's quiet as a whisper.
»Wraith

»One problem is there's not too many of them around. If you get spotted in one it's easy as drek to keep
a track on you.

Chrysler Nissan Cirrus

The Cirrus is the flagship of
the Chrysler-Nissan medium
price range products. A
family car with huge storage
space and full sized bucket
seats. The back seats are
designed to comfortably
hold two adults or three
children. The Cirrus is
available as a four door sedan or five door hatchback.

»The Cirrus is quite spacy, we've used it on runs on occasion. It blends in with the traffic but can still hold
two orks or a troll in the back seat plus a lot of ordnance in the trunk.

»It's also heavy enough to hold a considerable amount of armor without showing it, and with an
upgraded motor we've even managed to outrun Patrol-Ones, although barely.

EMC Eurocar
The Eurocar is probably named after the
Americar, but it definitely failed to fill the same
role in Europe. Despite good craftsmanship and
pleasant design this car never quite got the
status that the Americar has here. It has been
available as an import for some time and has
found a steady customer base, but it still is a
somewhat uncommon car. It is available as a 2-
door sedan and 3-door hatchback in Multifuel
and IC configurations.

Rover Ascot
Finally Rover has put its experimental off-roader
onto the open market! Under the name Ascot they
have aimed it at the upper strata of society and
the hunting community in general. The
combination of excellent off-road performance,
amphibious capabilities (even including an
optional underwater package) and being the only
civilian car with gunports as standards makes it
the first dedicated hunting car of the world. It has a GPS system as standard and ports for
radiocommunication gear are integrated into the dashboard. It has also been offered to various
security and police forces in Great Britain and Europe.

» The development of this kind of car became necessary after the Dartmoor incident '49. Couple'a
dozen nobles got massacred by grenades and nerve gas during a hunt. Green Cell considers the
action to be one of their most succesful.
» Hobnobber

» The radical new suspension system and design make this car the most easily controlled car in off-road
conditions. I've test driven one of these at the IAA motorshow in Dusseldorf. These critters can
outmaneuver or outrun anything on the market today with the possible exception of the Thundercloud
Pinto. You can bet I'm laundering my money right now to get one.
» Jagdpanther

» Copy that. These critters are amazing! I've been on a run with Jagdpanther when he tried out his new
Ascot. He dodged a volley of smart missiles from an attack helicopter! The things this car can do are
unholy. And he escaped the helos by diving in a river. Splash, gone was his signature; heat, sound,
movement, all masked by the water, and he just turned upstream when the helo started looking
downstream, not expecting him to be able to. Great car, great driver!

Aztechnology Motoring Division Salsa
This small Runabout rip-off takes the familiar
design and transforms it into a car of extreme
versatility. The car has a modular chassis that
allows conversion from four-seater to pickup to
hardtop to transport in a matter of minutes. Take
the kids to school in the morning, the bikes on
weekends, your wife for a sporty cruise and a
washing mashine and more in the transport

mainstay of the new Aztechnology Motoring Division. So far it's only popular down in Aztlan, CalFree and

Honda Nata450
The Nata450 is the street version of the Nata500 racing
bike. It combines a powerful engine with the EZ-
Flow(TM) Steering/Suspension system pioneered by the
Nata500, creating a bike that is both powerful and easy
to handle. Improved off-road capability make this the
ideal all-terrain bike for people with high power
requirements.

» Ideal all-terrain bike? Hardly. It's a street design, but heavier and less economic than any of its
competitors. They just needed something to make this less drekky than it is, so they improved off-road
capability somewhat, but it's just not designed for serious off-road riding. As soon as the going gets
tough, expect to go nowhere with this one.

Messerschmitt-Kawasaki Kabinenroller 2050
The Kabinenroller (Cabinscooter) 2050 is a development
from a design that was introduced in the 1950s by
Messerschmitt. This design however is a two-wheeler with
advanced technology. Some of its more intriguing features
are the stabilisers that automatically extend when the scooter
stops and the exclusive joystick controls. The scooter has no
gears and both accelerates and brakes by using the joystick.
The enclosed drivers seat is ideal for trips in rainy or cold
environments since it provides protection from acid rain and
a heating system as standard. For southern locations M-K offer both an airconditioning system and
SunCell(TM) upgrades.

»This one needs getting used to. It's a bike, but you drive it more like you'd fly a plane. You can tell M-K is
mainly an aircraft/helicopter designer. Once you've gotten used to it and stop panicking every time you
stop because you can't put your foot down to stabilise the bike, it's a smooth ride. Espescially here in
Seattle where your bike-synthleathers are burnt through by the acid rain every couple of months.

someone's looking for you but doesn't know where you are, in this one is the last place she'll be looking.

Hyundai Cityroller
The Cityroller enters the market as a competitor to both the
Dodge Scoot and Entertainment Systems Papoose. It
combines the best aspects of both scooters and puts little
strain on the budget, even in bulk orders. It has automatic

Ideal for the manager that needs to arrive relaxed at the next
meeting. The Cityroller comes in a multitude of color schemes
and can be customized to the buyers specifications.

Honda Vector Series

The Vector series is probably one of the grand success stories
of the motoring industry. The original VRH design proved to
be such a success in the racing circuit that soon demand for a
street version began to rise. The basic IC model was the result.
In the 6 months since its introduction the VIC model sold more
than 500.000 units worldwide. It's beautiful design and
excellent performance have led to a nomination in Bikes'R'Us
"Classic Hogs" listing only months after its first appearance.
Already there are modified versions for police forces and
DocWagon(TM) Fast Response Support. The probably most notorious version is the VS Sports
edition after the Seattle Screamers' Outrider had his VS hi-jacked in the Urban Brawl Finals
Incident.

»The Vector is a great bike. Excellent performance, stunning design, the only drawback is its thirst.
»Ancient Wisdom

»It's got more than that. Some of these have faulty fuel tank insulation. The motor heats the fuel up and
you leave a trail of fumes behind you. If one of those bikes crashes expect it to blow skyhigh. Also a
chemsniffer can follow the trail, makes for somewhat less than desireable stealth.

»Unfortunately the Sports Edition is sold to licensed franchises only, that is exclusively to Urban Brawl and

Embraer-Dassault Dorocilo
The Dorocilo is one of the most common
European helicopter designs. Its versatility
results from the many configurations in
which it is available, ranging from pure

Northrup PRC-51F Mosquito

This new design which Northrop puts in the same class as
the Wasp/Yellowjacket F-models, is actually quite a
different working principle. It utilises twin counter-
rotating main rotors, eliminating the need for a tail or
stabiliser. The whole design is extremely compact, about
3 meters in all dimensions. This extremely small design
and the advanced Fly-By-Wire system mean this
helicopter can go into even the smallest throughfair. In
the astounding first presentation of this design at the
Oshkosh Air Show earlier this year the Mosquito was
flown inside a mall and was still able to maneuvre and
even dodge ligth fire. An impressive display, espescially in view of the very sophisticated weapons
and targetting systems, developed in close partnership with Integrated Weapons Systems PLC, the
developers of the Cerberus Multilauncher.

Ballista system using the same missiles but utilizing sensor-assisted targeting and automated choice
of warheads. It also sports the increased ammo capacity of 6 missiles per launcher, any or all of

» Yes yes, chumski. And beavers the size of bears, hmm?

» Watcher

» My apologies Anatoly. I have been informed that the Mosquito, albeit indirectly, actually is a rip-off of
the Zobel. The Zobel is a Russian racing helicopter that won the last 2 Paris-Dakkar Aircraft races against
competition by both T-birds and Boeing Eagles. A great achievement. Again, I'm sorry, it's become a
kind of reflex.

Ilyushin-Greifswald Argus
The Argus is a
cooperative
attempt to create a
light security
helicopter between
the Ukrainian
Ilyushin and the
Pomoryan
Greifswald
Corporation. A development from the successful Zobel racing helicopter, the Argus utilizes the same
counter-rotating rotor setup as the Zobel and is very similar in design. It is an open cockpit design,
but a sealed canopy is optional. This helicopter continues a great East European tradition of
counter- rotor designs, the first of which was created by Ilyushin as well.

* In autorotation signature increases to 7, Glide ratio 1:2
Additional features: The Argus can be disassembled for transport in 10 min and takes up 12 CF
storage space. The Argus has an integrated remote control pop-up microturret. A pintle mount can
be attached for the pilot, but other than that no weapons can be mounted on the vehicle. A sealed
canopy can be attached which provides the equivalent of an EnviroSeal(TM) (water). This
modification allows the Argus to float if necessary. (+2,000Y)

» Very similar in design, don't make me yarf. This is the Zobel, except that Greifswald have found a nook
somewhere to cram a Vindicator into. It shows, too. Performance is great, but any use of the weaponry
is gonna get you into serious trouble. Don't try to shoot full-auto, or the recoil is gonna have you tumbling
out of the sky, and if you're over the north sea, where most of these seem to whirr around, tumbling
down is not a good idea.
» Larissa

» This is the standard police vehicle in the Duchy of Pomorya. The longears have completely neglected
their inland territory, so now it's a wilderness where hard pushed metacritters have taken up residence
and smuggling runs rampant. This helo is an attempt to get a modicum of order back into the wild after
a whole village was wiped out by a pack of Werewolves that dissapeared into the wild every time the
cavalry got near. And I mean cavalry, before these they used horses!
» Metadeern

» The Pomoryans all have the sealed canopy now. Last year they had 9 Pilots go berserk under toxic
spirit influence. One of them attacked a Swedish coast guard cruiser. Suicidal idea, but it caused quite
a bit of international tension. It seems to be one of the most prevalent powers of the North Sea toxics to
drive men mad. Strangely enough they tend to leave women alone. I know of one specific case where
a female pilot actually survived crashing into the North Sea.

Fuchi Tsumukari Heavy Military Transport Helicopter

The Tsumukari is the first entry into the military vehicle market by Fuchi Aerospace. Commissioned
by the Imperial Japanese Army, the Tsumukari narrowly beat Renraku's Tendai to the contract.
Although the Tendai is superior in most aspects, the lower production cost of this hi-tech copter won
the day. A turbo-jet enhanced two-tail design, this behemoth of a helicopter would probably beat
even the Dragon in loading capacity if it wasn't exclusively produced in the armored infantry
configuration. The exact specifications have not been made public, but we managed to retrieve the
figures of an alpha-test version.

»This is bad news. We encountered one of these off the coast south of Seattle. We were hired to down a
blimp coming in from the sea. It was flying close cover with two additional drones. The drones were
quickly dealt with, but the helo was tougher than it should have been. I think they improved the armor,
cause it took a Bandit in the belly and didn't even croak. Mad Dog got in a hit on the pilot-compartment
with the Ballista, took out both pilots and the gunner, but the helo kept both coming and firing. I don't

as an act of war. I would advise you not to attempt a mission against any members of the Imperial
Family again.

Renraku Scorpion Security Drone

This very novel design
resembles its
namesake in as much
as it has a thick
armor, a number of
legs, two claws and a
"sting" at the tail. But
that is where the
resemblance stops.
This scorpion is a Vectored Thrust Drone capable of significant airspeed. The design comes to
America via San Francisco, where corporate forces and Japanese Imperial Marines both use them to
great satisfaction. This is just one of the many new milspec items that have found their way to
America from Japan due to the modernization of the Imperial forces.

»I've seen something like this near L.A., but it was a submersible version. They just crawled around the
ocean floor until I got too close. Suddenly they started their waterjets and came shooting towards me.
They weren't fast enough to catch me and my little torpedo but fast enough to get any diver. They didn't
pursue me past a certain point so I hung around to see what was going on. Those claws they have are
not to be joked about. I've seen them shear a merrow who picked a fight with them clear in half. After
that I decided to leave fast, they seemed to be serious about keeping people out. The only thing that's
bothering me is there should be nothing out there to guard, so what are they doing there?
»Subhunter

»So that's what it was! I thought the sun had finally gotten to me. I was out in the Mojave when I heard
this strange whistling noise. I took cover and behind some dunes a flight of what looked like these big
lobsters they've got over Europe way came out. Except those lobsters don't fly. So I started checking
whether I was lying in a patch of those awakened lichen that make you see things, but no. Then two
huge bee-like shapes came the same way and I thought "Oh, frag! The bugs." and I legged it. Phew, at
least I can stop worrying whether someone fragged with my mind out there.

Renraku Tendai LAV

The Tendai is a dedicated military troop
transporter for swift troop movement and
fast air insertions. It can provide its own
cover by means of two externally mounted
drones, but the Tendai can carry a number
of additional drones or an APC in the
cargo hold. The unusual interior holds six
twin bucket seats which hold two fully
armed and armored humans and allow for
quick deployment with either parachute or down the six sideramps.

»So that's how they got here. Seven-Oaks U.S. Military base was attacked by the Japanese Marine Corps
on Christmas Eve. Most of us were butchered in our sleep, we had nearly no warning period, they
jammed us until they were right on top of us. And trust me, those Naga mines can easily be exchanged
for smartbombs, that's how they neutralised all our anti air capability. They never even left the LAVs, they
just sent these weird lobsterlike drones in to finish off the survivors of the bomb run. This is just another
example to show that America must stand united under the banner of the United States or succumb to
the incursions of foreign powers. I would like to take this opportunity to ask our brothers in the UCAS forces
to take matters into your own hands and help us make this country whole again!

Chrysler-Nissan G14 "Swampy" ACV

The G14 is a direct descendant of the G12 ACV.

It is built on the same substructure but has an
armored superstructure and a medium turret. It
has kept the reliability and easy maintenance of
its predecessor to a degree where parts are
interchangeable. It finds such good use in the
moors of North Germany, the British Stinkfens
and other toxic areas, that it has been nicknamed
Swampy by the British Army. It has proven so
popular in what is left of Bulgaria that there are
now 1 G14 to every 10 citizens.

Additional features: The hull of the G14 is air- and water- tight but will not float. The turret is
normally fitted with an autocannon and the G14 can mount up to two droneracks or 4 CF of anti-
aircraft missiles. Gasdispensers and smokescreens are standard, and some militaries field
flamethrower-equipped versions.

»It's not called Swampy because of its use in swamps but because of the guy who authorized its use by
the British Army. The guy's some nutter who was a kind of early eco-terrorist in the late 20th century. In the
2020s he reappeared on the political stage and managed to get himself elected. I bet everyone just
thought: "Oh, I'll give him my vote, that'll be good fer a laff!", cause I can't see how any sensible person
could have elected him. Anyway, in one of the few smart moves of the government then they let him
handle clearing the toxic zones. He didn't manage to do so, obviously, but he made a pretty good
effort. Scared the hell out of quite a lot of Corporations, I tell you. Eco-terrorism with government support?
Sca-ry. In one of the great ironies of the world he moved in to clear out a protest by some locals who
didn't like his proposed plans. He first moved in with normal cops, but they had some toxic magical
backing, so he called for airtight support; what he got was the G14 Swampy!
»Baldrick

»Bulgaria only has about 10,000 citizens nowadays. What big achievement is it to have 1,000 G14s
there, especially with all those left over from the Eurowars?

Aztechnology Mistral Medium Battle Tank
The Mistral is one of those few tracked tanks still in
widespread operation. The main reason is probably that
the Aztlan government has got a standing production
order with Aztechnology. The Mistral was the first tank to
be equipped with Aztechnologies Relampago railgun.
Although supposedly outdated, the fact that Aztechnology
is still producing units might hint at technologically more
advanced units being out there.
