Overview
The Colby Little Mule is a small and inexpensive but reasonably well equipped nomad truck. Quite fast (including across open desert), very tough, with extra reinforced armor and a CrystalDome holoprojection system. It drives well by comparison to many other cars, having an impressive handling.

Database Entry

 * Nomads, as the name suggest, don't linger too long in any one place. They're constantly on the move and that means bringing their belongings with them. It comes as no wonder the truck-bed variant of the Colby has become so popular with them. Little Mule - that's what they call this Thorton Colby model. But beyond the name they also swap out the standard engines for stronger ones, add light armor to the body and install an environment projection system based on CrystalDome tech in the cabin.
