Quite an ugly old hog.  However, it will cause all sorts of trouble for 
the local yokels downbelow: the Uguarran is a good platform for meson, 
missile and laser orbital fire, while it's thick hide and stolid meson 
screen will filter out most counterattacks.  Among the more common - and 
loathed - sights on the coreward frontier during the Rebellion, from 
Deneb to Vland.  Still in use among the surviving Vargr states in 
Gvurrdon sector.

It's major weakness, of course, is it's pathetic fuel capasity.  It's 
survival depends on other Vargr elements clearing out most [Imperial] 
opposition before it can get to work zapping the dirtsiders.  By 1122, 
almost all have switched over to TL F electronics and EMM masking (with 
deep gratitude to the captured Corridor depot for supplying the needed 
equipment)
