Behind the scenes |
The Matador is a high speed forward command patrol boat.[2] It is used by the RDA for water patrol missions and tulkun hunting.
Specifications[]
The Matador is a small patrol boat with a double-deck design and features a large complement of seven to eight sailors: five gunners, a pilot, a spotter and a captain.[3] The upper deck is the control deck and features the cockpit and navigational controls, whilst the lower deck is for the gunners.
The Matador is decently armed for its size, featuring three Hydra Machine Guns on the boat's port, starboard and stern, an additional co-axial Chunker placement on the top of the second deck next to the pilot and a large Harpoon Gun on the boat's bow.[3]
The Matador features a "deep V" hull and twin jet drives which propel the crew of eight at more than 40 knots (46mph/74kph) whilst offering exceptional maneuverability.[1] When launched from the SeaDragon's magnetic launch ramp, the Matador's military grade shock-mitigating seats protects the crew from the kinetic impact of the Pandoran heavy waves.[1]
