Thorton Galena GA40xt "Rattler"

The "Rattler" is a nomad version of the Galena model, a vehicle manufactured by Thorton in.

History
The Rattler was a Galena GA40xt, which was heavily customized by the Bakkers Nomad clan. It is V's personal car if they have chosen the Nomad lifepath. V used it to escape the Arasaka convoy during a smuggling run into Night City, but the car was wrecked and they had to abandon it.

The Rattler was eventually found by a young woman called Lana Prince. She transported it to the city's landfill, where she managed to fix some of its major problems, including getting its computer functioning again. The reactivated vehicle sent a signal to its last registered owner, V, who followed the signal and was reunited with his old ride.

V inspected the Rattler, noting the repairs to the engine, but also that it still required a lot more work. Lana discovered him with the car and claimed it was hers now; after some small talk, she explained to V she needed it to leave Night City for good. V then chose to either give the car to Lana, in which case she eventually left with it; or to keep it, either by buying it from Lana or threatening her.

Acquisition
Only available for the Nomad lifepath. After the prologue, V will lose the Rattler. During Act II, V will receive a call with the location of the vehicle, starting the quest These Boots Are Made for Walkin'. Depending on the dialogue choices, the "Rattler" can be recovered at the end of said quest.
