Scarab SRV

The Scarab SRV is a lightweight, all-terrain wheeled vehicle designed for exploring planetary surfaces. Equipped with a turret-mounted, dual-plasma repeater weapon. Your Surface Recon Vehicle is swift, durable, and bespoke to you, thanks to all manner of bold paintjobs to help you stand out.

 

Upgrade with a range of services

Fleet Carriers are powerful, versatile, and purpose-built to work for you. Optimise your experience by adding extra features, from Universal Cartographics and Outfitting, to your own personal Redemption Officer. Keep it quiet and you might even decide to invite along a fence, who’ll facilitate the trade of illegal cargo on-board. Your Fleet Carrier, your rules.

Personalisation

Truly make your fleet carrier your own with a variety of customisations. Combine unique layouts, paintjobs, drive colouring and even Air Traffic Controller voice packs to make your carrier truly stand out.
