Thorton Galena GA40xt "Rattler"

The Thorton Galena GA40XT "Rattler" is a modified version of the Galena, a vehicle manufactured by Thorton in.

Overview
The "Rattler" has been heavily customized by the Bakkers Nomad clan. It is V's original car if they have chosen the Nomad lifepath. By 2077 the "Rattler" has minor damage with visible rust, the engine is functional and in good condition but overall the car requires urgent repairs.

With its unusually high mileage and relatively small frame, this kind of car is a perennial favorite among taxi and delivery drivers.

Database Entry

 * The fact that this car still drives is a miracle. After years off-roading it in the desert, just about everything on this rig either creaks or grinds. The parts this car rolled off the assembly line with have been replaced by scrap metal and worn rubber. The engine's constant wheezing has you convinced the car contracted terminal tuberculosis. If this scrap heap on wheels rolled into any city shop, the mechanic would probably vomit and faint. In short, only someone truly desperate would ever catch themselves sitting behind the wheel of this mobile tetanus trap.

Acquisition
After The Nomad prologue V will loose this car. During Act II, V will receive a call with the location of the "Rattler" starting the quest These Boots Are Made for Walkin'. Depending on the dialogue choices the "Rattler" is recovered at the end of said quest.
