The Supersheridan/Zelda family of AFVs was intended as a coherent family of small, relatively low-tech vehicles for colonial or mercenary use - cheap and easy to maintain in low-tech conditions. The design was limited by the following constraints:
- All vehicles to be Size 2 (LIGHT), with FAST TRACK mobility and CFE engines.
- No massdrivers or energy weapons.
- Maximum system quality of ENHANCED.
