Design Notes - This is one of my favorite designs. The might of a pickup's chassis with one super accurate weapon and a cyberlink, and if that runs out of ammo, it becomes a nimble ram-car.

Name Notes -  Part of the Imperial series, named after Emperor Vespasian also known as Titus, one of the bastards from the Biblical period: "(Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus Augustus; 17 November 9 – 23 June 79) was Roman Emperor from AD 69 to AD 79. Vespasian founded the Flavian dynasty that ruled the Empire for a quarter century."
