The G12a in ground combat

The G12a brings the eight Size 2 missiles on an armored Origin rover to nearby ground units, protecting a site, supporting nearby vehicles, or engaging the threats it was built to face. The hardened Altimari XH01 wheel system helps the vehicle preserve traction and control across rough terrain during combat. Missiles/Countermeasures gives the G12a a way to defend itself during ground work.

Development note: The G12a is currently in long-term production. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.

G12a's weapons and protection

Terrain choice, target information, and the missile battery on an armored Origin rover help the G12a protect the people or vehicles operating around it.

Enhanced Wheel System

The hardened Altimari XH01 wheel system helps the vehicle preserve traction and control across rough terrain during combat.

Missiles/Countermeasures

Missiles/Countermeasures gives the G12a a way to defend itself during ground work.

Driver and gunner awareness on the G12a

The crew coordinates movement, targets, and the location of friendly forces from one vehicle.

G12a's weapon coverage

Terrain and hull position determine which threats the missile load can reach without exposing the whole G12a.

The G12a missile and protection package

The G12a replaces the touring G12's light defensive turret with the guided weapons and countermeasures. Heavy armor, a hardened wheel system, and a shield help the two-seat rover patrol dangerous ground without giving up Origin engineering.

Patrol Carry the missile battery around the perimeter

All-terrain running gear lets the G12a guard a broad site instead of waiting at one fixed firing position.

Ordnance Use eight Size 2 missiles deliberately

The limited missile load rewards clear target identification and controlled launches rather than spending the full rack on the first contact.

Protection Keep moving behind armor and shields

Heavy armor, countermeasures, and a shield help the rover survive long enough to relocate after revealing its position.

From deployment to resupply

The G12a works best beside the units it protects, where the missile battery on an armored Origin rover can answer the threats they are actually facing.

G12a - G12, G12a, G12r in Star Citizen
  1. Unload the G12a with its weapons ready

    The crew checks the G12a's weapons, ammunition, and first route before unloading.

  2. Give the G12a cover and an open firing lane

    Keep the G12a close to cover and leave an open route to the next firing position.

  3. Use the G12a's weapons

    The G12a's operator aims the guided weapons on an armored Origin rover at the threat that poses the greatest danger to nearby troops or vehicles.

  4. Plan transport, ammunition, and repairs for the G12a

    A reachable repair or recovery point lets the G12a leave before damage makes the decision for it.

The G12a, from crew stations to weapon systems

The G12a brings its eight Size 2 missiles on an armored Origin rover to nearby troops and vehicles, with armor and mobility to fire from cover and relocate when needed.

G12a - G12 and G12r in Star Citizen
01 Targeting and visibility on the G12a

For the G12a, clear sightlines and target calls help the crew bring the missile load onto the greatest threat to nearby units.

02 G12a protection

For the G12a, armor and careful use of cover protect the vehicle and its crew from return fire.

03 Terrain mobility on the G12a

The G12a can cross rough ground, use cover, and move when its firing position is exposed.

04 Ammunition and recovery

Ammunition, repairs, and a clear route back to transport keep the G12a ready for the next engagement.

The G12a's crew divides movement, weapons, and awareness

The driver keeps the vehicle positioned and mobile while the gunner or support crew manages the anti-vehicle missiles on an armored Origin rover, target calls, and threats outside the driver's view.

The G12a's driver and gunner work as one team

Aboard the G12a, the driver can concentrate on terrain and survival while another crew member manages the main weapon or specialist system.

Driver Move the G12a to the next firing position

The driver chooses cover and a route that leaves the missile battery on an armored Origin rover clear to fire without trapping the G12a in one position.

Weapon station One operator controls the G12a's main weapon

Aboard the G12a, terrain and cover should protect the vehicle without blocking the guided weapons on an armored Origin rover from its firing sector.

Team Coordinate the G12a with nearby units

For the G12a, short calls about targets, cover, ammunition, and vehicle condition help the crew use the anti-vehicle missiles on an armored Origin rover while moving with nearby units.
