This rover was originally designed at the beginning of the war between the Federation and the M-Tronians. M-Tron military tacticians thought that, by using some of the strike and hide tactics originally used by Blacktron, they would stand a better chance against the vastly superior fleet of the Federation. Hence why they needed a rover small enough to be un-detected but capable of launching weapons of mass destruction. But the war was over pretty quickly, and the rover never got to be produced.

Finding themselves in need of a new purpose in order to re-build their society, M-Tron officials decided to channel their ressources and energy into something they were good at, mainly, deep-space geological exploration and survey. To that purpose, M-Tron designers quickly adapted the design of their never-produced rover to be able to be fitted with numerous modules, enabling it to perform multiple tasks, hence the name MT Rover.

Build on a powerful engine and powered by the famous m-tronian magnet technology, the MT Rover is a one man small land exploration vehicle. The bubble-shaped windscreen is ideal to navigate through rough and uncharted terrain while the six hard-based wheels provided plenty of traction.

Since the MT Rover was originally designed to be a mobile weapons launcher, it was only natural that one of the first module produced was a rocket launcher. The famous m-tronian Javelin rocket, originally built to carry nuclear warheads to nearby planets, was quickly adapted to launch the new B. Spears deep-space probe.

The second module produced for the MT Rover was a tracking module. With its quadroscopic receiver, the Magna-Five radar-antenna is able to track small objects in deep-space – such as meteors, comets or small moons – and analyse their main mineral composition. It is also use to receive the data transmitted by different geological deep-space probes.

Since their missions push them further and further to the edge of charted and colonized space, the M-Tron space fleet quickly found themselves in need of temporary and mobile landing platforms for their operations. Given its engine, the m-tronians engineers quickly designed a mobile landing platform module for the MT Rover. In fact, the engine is so powerful that the MT Rover is capable of pulling its landing platform module along with a re-fitted Transport spacecraft on top.
