Vehicle Description

The IMP Mobile Missile Platform (MMP, pronounced 'Imp' by the troops) was an attempt by American engineers to mount various static missile launchers on to a mobile carriage.

Using the Gazelle Light-Reconnaissance vehicle chassis they were able to develop an effective weapons platform.

Although the IMP variants have only limited mobility, they have proven an effective unit for perimeter defence, especially against Fieldship and airborne Demon threats or Titan-class Demons, where a heavy, prolonged weapon delivery system is essential.

Being lightweight also allows the the IMPs to be air-dropped directly into a combat situation.

The platform can also be loaded upon a tracked trailer unit for vehicle towing.
