== Overview ==
== Overview ==
This heavy-duty SRV has a Planetary Mineral Scanner to find resources. It can deploy up to 6 autonomous [[Mining Rig|mining rigs]] to extract resources. It can hold up to 24 tons of cargo which can be transferred to the parent ship. It can transport up to three [[Commander|commanders]]. The built in wheel thrusters enable it to jump over obstacles. On the roof is a twin defense repeater/plasma turret.

On the roof is a twin defense repeater/plasma turret.  
 
The Rhino has an onboard [[refinery]] module. The mining rigs extract [[materials]] from surface deposits. These are collected by the Rhino to fill the refinery bins and then stored in the cargo hold.
 
Deploying a Rhino requires the [[Ships|ship]] to hover above the planetary surface. The ship can be dismissed with the wave [[Emotes|emote]]. You can crawl underneath the lumbering Rhino. The spacious cabin can transport up to 3-persons, but the interior is not walkable.
