== Description ==
The '''Mao-Heng Charioteer''' was created by the Capellan Confederation as a law enforcement patrol vehicle for the Palace Guard on [[Sian]]. The vehicle is a sleek, wheeled, internal combustion engine powered ground car with the maximum speed of 60 km/h. It is considered to be an inferior design due to its slow speed and sluggish handling.<ref name="TRO:VAp14"/><ref name=TRO:VArp16/>

== Vehicle History ==
The elected Chancellor [[Sandol Quinn]] set the requirement for a new patrol vehicle for the exclusive use of the Palace Guard in [[2797]]. These requirements were believed to have been influenced by wealthy friends of the Chancellor.<ref name="TRO:VAp14"/><ref name=TRO:VArp16/>

The Mao-Heng was selected out of a group of promising vehicles and put into production. Over 2000 production models were manufactured in a run that lasted until [[2801]]. When [[Ilsa Liao]] came to power she put a stop to production.<ref name="TRO:VAp14"/><ref name=TRO:VArp16/>

The vehicle remained in service on the streets of Sian for several years, where it performed well enough for the [[Capellan Hussars]]. The last of the vehicles, the infamous ''Patrol 13'', was decommissioned in [[2834]]. The vehicle was purchased by Duke Jian Kao, which he added to his private collection of vehicles.<ref name="TRO:VAp14"/><ref name=TRO:VArp16/>

In [[3042]], a redesigned version of the Mao-Heng was created by a group of college students. Its performance led to the vehicle's resurrection as a standard police patrol vehicle.<ref name="TRO:VAp14"/><ref name=TRO:VArp16/>

== Equipment and Capabilities ==
The vehicle features 8 passenger seats (0.6 tons).<ref name=TRO:VArp16/>

== Cargo ==
0.4 tons with door (rear-mounted)<ref name="TRO:VAp14"/><ref name=TRO:VArp16/>
