The Bashan is one of the lighter combat mount in production, designed as a scout, electronic warfare, and command vehicle. Its basic loadout is designed similarly to a light trooper vehicle, although most upgrades sacrifice a bit of offense for better command and control. Like other mounts, it can defend itself in close combat with its leg-mounted climbing system shooting spikes into enemy units, meaning it can still defend itself if swarmed. In larger forces, Commanders are often seen piloting Bashans due to the command and control capabilities. Like all other mounts, the cockpit is designed to minimize motion sickness or other side-effects caused by pilots spending long periods in non-upright positions.[1]
