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.
Chimera, Cruade Pattern, Drake Command Upgrade
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 a fully enclosed, sealed environment capable of protecting the crew and passengers inside from chemical and biological weapons, nuclear fallout, 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 it 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). 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.

Rhino
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.

Razorback
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.

Las/Plas The Rhino is armed with a single turret mounting a lascannon on the left and a twin-linked plasma rifle on the right. It is operated by the gunner.
