==Overview:==
     The Rotunda RND-J-111 is essentially a self sufficient home and fighting
vehicle for its one-person crew. It can operate for extended periods of time
with little maintenance or other support. Its fusion power plant gives it
unlimited range, allowing it to fill the role of scouting and recon duty for
the Star League on Periphery worlds.
     What separates the Rotunda from many Star League scout vehicles is that
it is designed for a single driver/gunner who is not tied to the apron strings
of a support crew. These sturdy vehicles usually operate in large numbers
behind enemy lines. Their primary purpose is to monitor enemy communications
and troop movements, but they have enough firepower and speed to create havoc.
In this role, as raider/recon vehicle, the Rotunda is in a class by itself.

==Capabilities:==
    The designers at Buhallin Military Products produced two models before the
J-111 series. the J-100 Series, introduced in 2717, lacked a sturdy suspension
system and needed frequent maintenance. The J-110 resolved the suspension
difficulties, with only subtle changes in armor placement and engine
shielding. The J-111 is a breakthrough in the technology of armored scouting
vehicles.
     The single-man Rotunda maximizes the comfort of the driver. It has ample
storage for several week's worth of food and water, as well as all necessary
tools and equipment for survival. A portable stove, tent, and survival gear
are standard on the Rotunda. The cockpit can carry a passenger, but extra gear
or the driver's personal effects often fill this space.
     The sleek Rotunda often shows up on identification profiles as a civilian
ICE transport instead of an armored scout car. Many 'Mechs manufactured since
2735 have modified their programming to recognize the Rotunda, but there are
still large numbers of 'Mechs that cannot.
     The control and cockpit components protect the driver in combat, but this
placement prevents quick entry and exit from the cockpit.
     The RND-J-111 carries a Holly SRM-2 pack and an Amdecker 300 large laser.
The Holly system is one of the best-known and most-trusted missile systems
ever created. The Amdecker 300 large laser is less known, and some technicians
have difficulty repairing the equipment. Drivers say the weapon sometimes
generates heat unpredictably and thus causes difficulties in monitoring and
adequately venting it. This heat buildup can damage the weapon and its
mounting, forcing early maintenance. Still, the system is respected for its
accuracy.
