While the majority of the Explorer's armored might is operated by the [[Svard 1st Expeditionary]], the Dynasty does maintain a few vehicles for the personal use of the senior officers during dangerous away missions. These vehicles are stored and lovingly maintained in a separate garage set off from the Thunderhawk Transporter's launch bay. These vehicles are currently painted up in a rich blue with gold trim detailed with Dynastic Iconography. The dynasty maintains one of each of the following vehicles.

[[File: Command Chimera.png|280px|left]]
The Chimera is a rugged, well armed APC produced across thousands of worlds in the Imperium.  Unlike the Rhino, the Chimera STC is a dedicated military vehicle, serving as the chassis for transports, artillery and support vehicles.  The vehicle is fully enclosed, sealed environment capable of protecting the crew and passengers inside from chemical and biological weapons, nuclear fall out or even the open Void.  In addition, the crew and passenger compartments are sealed separately, allowing properly equipped passengers to disembark without endangering the crew.  In normal atmosphere conditions, the passengers can also open the top hatch for air or to use as a fire point.  The passenger compartment also has six mounted lasguns in it on sealed swivels, but provides the passengers no way to aim them without opening the top hatch. The Chimera has a top speed of 70 kph (45 mph), though some of the artillery variants are slower due to the heavy load.

The only external difference between the normal and command versions of the chimera, besides some decorations, is the inclusion of an orbital uplink dish.  Internally, a large amount of the free cargo room in the passenger compartment has been replaced with communications gear, tactical readouts, maps projectors, and a cognator.  Although still technically able to hold twelve still, the comfortable maximum is closer to nine. Drake's personal command chimera has been further modified to provide maglock pads for the Thunderhawk Transporter.
====Command Variant====
The only external difference between the normal and command versions of the chimera is the inclusion of a whip arial or (in the case of House Drake's) an orbital uplink dish.  Internally, a large amount of the free cargo room in the passenger compartment has been replaced with communications gear, tactical readouts, maps projectors and a cognator.  Although still technically able to hold twelve still, the comfortable maximum is closer to nine.

The Trojan version of the chimera removes the turret and refits the passenger compartment as a cargo compartment, complete with internally or externally controlled loading crane.  In addition to it's own cargo capacity, it includes a towing hook for the attachment of one or more supply trailers, allowing it to pull entire supply trains. It operates with a crew of two, the commander taking over the gunners position. Given the trojan's non-combat role, this is rarely a liability.  House Drake owns two of these.

== Rhino ==
[[File: Rhino.jpg|280px|thumb| Astartes Rhino Armored Personnel Carrier]]


===Leman Russ===
The Rhino is a tracked armored troop produced by the Imperium of Man.  It is simple, inexpensive, and ironically used by the rarest of the Imperium's soldiers: the Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and the Adeptus Arbites. The Rhino has been in service throughout the history of the Imperium. Originally named "RH-1-N-0 Tracked Exploration and Multi-Purpose Defense Vehicle," it was used to explore newly colonized worlds. First field-tested on Mars, the Rhino as it came to be known as a success, thanks to its extreme dependability and capability of being produced from any locally available material, as well as make use of any semi-combustible fuel source. The Rhino operates with a crew of two, a driver and a gunner who operates the vehicle turret with a remote firing system. The Rhino can comfortably transport Ten Astartes or pack in twenty regular humans uncomfortably. Note that the Rhino is ''not'' a sealed environment.
The Leman Russ is the main Battle Tank of the Imperial Guard. This rugged and dependable tank has been used for centuries and while fundamental changes in construction and appearance have occurred its capabilities have changed very little, able to operate in a variety of environments and withstand enemy fire while delivering powerful tank-killing blows. It was named after Leman Russ, the Primarch of the Space Wolves.


The main battle tank of the Imperial Guard and the mainstay of armoured regiments across the Imperium, the Leman Russ is produced in the millions on Forge Worlds and in Hive factories across the Imperium. While slow in comparison to other Guard vehicles and lacking in advanced technology, its ruggedness and reliability are the tank's defining attribute. Emphasizing heavy firepower and armour over mobility, it is rare for any Imperial Guard force to engage an enemy army without the support of Leman Russ tanks. The Leman Russ design has been in service for millennia, a testament to its simple but efficient and easily producible design, making it arguably the most successful tank in the galaxy.

[[File: Leman_Russ.jpg|280px|thumb| Leman Russ Main Battle Tank]]
== Razorback ==
 
[[File:Razorback.png|right|280px]]
The main gun of the Leman Russ is its turret-mounted Battle Cannon, a 120mm smoothbore gun which can equally decimate enemy infantry and tanks.[2a] A water-cooled jacket surrounds the cannon while gyrostabilisers ensure accurate targeting while on the move. Aiming the weapon done through a dedicated periscope with a 45° field of vision and is assisted withTargeter gear[4] such as laser-rangefinders. Auspex guidance such as landscape readers and crosswind indicators provide additional information to assist in locating and targeting the enemy. Secondary armament will generally consist of a Lascannon in the forward hull mount with a 90° field of fire.
The Razorback is an up-gunned variant of the standard rhino, created by mounting a full-sized turret over the rear passenger compartment. Ammunition stores for these more powerful weapons half the size of the passenger compartment, but this is generally considered a fair trade-off for a light tank's worth of firepower. In the case of the Las/Plas turret, the driver is provided with controls to allow for operating the weapon, not in use by the gunner, though it's impossible to use while still driving the vehicle. Like the Rhino, the Razorback is ''not'' a sealed environment.
 
[[File: Leman_Russ_Exterminator.png|280px|thumb| Leman Russ, Exterminator variant]]
 
The Leman Russ Exterminator is a common and prolific variant of the Leman Russ Battle Tank used by the Imperial Guard and on occasion, the Space Wolves Chapter. It mounts a twin-linked Autocannon instead of the more common Battle cannon, making it more of an infantry hunter than an all-round battle tank.
 
The Exterminator's twin Autocannons are synchronised to fire bursts of heavy caliber, high-velocity shells equally effective against infantry and light vehicles, making it an ideal platform for combating hordes of Orks or Tyranids. In addition to its ability to lay down a withering hail of fire the Exterminator is also faster than a Leman Russ thanks to the reduced size of its weapons. Many tank companies will include at least one Exterminator to use in the reconnaissance role, ranging ahead of the company to seek out enemy tanks. Exterminators are also frequently attached to their parent regiment's reconnaissance company, providing it with heavier firepower without negatively affecting the unit's speed and mobility. In an emergency the Extermiantor has also been used as a stopgap anti-aircraft tank; although its ability to throw up a wall of fire against enemy attacks may enjoy some excess, the tank's lack of elevation and proper targeter gear limits its utility in this role.
 
The Exterminator is generally equipped with Heavy Bolters in its hull mount and (if equipped) side sponsons to provide additional firepower. The hull mount can instead be fitted with a Heavy Flamer or Lascannon as well as Heavy Flamers, Multi-meltas or Plasma Cannons on the sponsons. A Searchlight and Smoke Launchers are standard on the Exterminator and it can be upgraded with Camo Netting, a Dozer Blade, Extra Armour, a Hunter-Killer Missile and a pintle-mounted Heavy Stubber or Storm Bolter. The variant the Drake Household has acquired mounts heavy bolters on both sponsons and a heavy bolter in the hull. It has been given the affectionate name "Metal Storm".
 
[[File: LemanRussDemolisher.png|280px|thumb| Leman Russ, Demolisher Variant]]
 
The Leman Russ Demolisher is a specialist Siege Tank designed for short-range bombardment based on the Leman Russ Battle Tank chassis. It is the most common variant of the main battle tank, used typically for urban and siege warfare. The main difference between the original Leman Russ and the Demolisher variant is its armament. The primary weapon of the tank is its turret-mounted Demolisher Cannon, a powerful short-ranged cannon equally effective in destroying buildings and bunkers as it is enemy tanks and infantry. The cannon has an effective range of one kilometer and in some patterns includes a carousel automatic loader and automatic shell ejector system.
 
Due to its mission role as a siege tank the Demolisher tank is fitted with additional armour plating compared to standard tanks Its suite of auspex sensors includes passive night vision, laser range-finder and a laser warning system. The V12 air-cooled multi-fuel engine used in some patterns produces 840 horsepower and gives the tank an operational range of 250 kilometers on-road (100 kilometers off-road); this can be extended an additional hundred kilometers through the use of optional 100 litre auxiliary tanks.
