Description
The M173 Badger is a vital defensive unit, best suited for use along the perimeter of a friendly base. Once there, it immobilises and deploys its STAB hooks (Stabilised Terrain Adapting Base). The low-weight turret must be locked into the terrain before firing to avoid kickback and maintain accuracy. The Badger can be repositioned when needed, but it cannot fire when its STAB unit is not deployed. Because of the turret’s slow turn rate, the Badger is most effective within a ridge or canyon pass where an oncoming vehicle cannot manoeuvre around it or leave its 120m effective radius. If used in this capacity, the Badger can handle multiple attackers.

Variants
Training Turret
The testing-variant M713 is used to train new recruits in a live-fire environment. It is fitted with high-velocity paintball guns to avoid damaging recruits' craft, and has slightly less armor than the field-ready variant.
Black Dog Badger
Now aging considerably, but still a mainstay on the battlefield, Black Dog turrets are generally held together by countless emergency repairs, but are sturdy and reliable, nonetheless. Standard armament is a single minigun.
