Editing Landram

[[File:landram.jpg|thumb|The landram party on Carillon.]]
A '''landram''' is a tracked vehicle used for ground operations {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}, typically shuttled to a planet via a [[Colonial shuttle|shuttle]] {{OS|The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I}}. It is capable of holding crew and cargo, and is equipped with a top mounted turret weapon.

A landram was used for the initial scouting of [[Carillon]]. They were later used to evacuate civilians and warriors from the "pleasure resort" on the planet {{OS|Saga of a Star World}}.

Such crafts are typically conveyed to planetoid surfaces via [[Colonial shuttle|shuttles]].

== Variants ==

A landram painted in a desert camouflage pattern is deployed to the surface of {{TOS|Kobol}} at the Warrior's encampment prior to the [[Battle of Kobol (TOS)|Battle of Kobol]] {{OS|Lost Planet of the Gods, Part II}}.

A version of the landram modified for use in frigid climates is the [[snowram]] {{OS|The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I}}.

== Power Sled ==

Another modified version, referred to as a power sled, this time without the cabin and open to the air and a storage bed, is used on [[Sectar (planet)|Sectar]]. It does not bear any obvious Colonial markings, likely due to the clandestine nature of their mission in the aftermath of the [[Battle for the Agricultural Ships (TOS)|Battle for the Agricultural Ships]].

It is stolen by [[Sire]] [[Bogon]]'s agents on the outskirts of [[Serenity]] to coerce the assistance of {{TOS|Starbuck}}, but later recovered {{OS|The Magnificent Warriors}}.

== Tie-in Material Information ==
* ''According to ''[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]'' (a non-canonical piece of merchandise published in 1979):''
: The Landram is an all-terrain surface transport vehicle designed for medium-range transport on planetary surfaces. A [[Colonial shuttle|shuttle]] from a [[Battlestar (TOS)|Battlestar]] or other interstellar spacecraft can be equipped with up to two Landrams. These vehicles come equipped with emergency supplies to support a crew of five for two weeks, a variety of currencies and valuable metals and medical supplies for all known natural poisons and diseases. Landrams travel slowly but with special traction gear and gyroscopic stabilizers, they can travel across the steepest and most uneven terrain. <ref>{{cite book|last=Kraus|first=Bruce|year=1979|title=[[Encyclopedia Galactica]]|pages=41}}</ref>

Landrams are deployed on {{alt|Carillon}} to scout for sources of {{alt|tylium}}, and later one of these is used by Lieutenant {{alt|Jolly|TOS}} to take out numerous {{alt|Centurion|TOS}}s during the {{alt|Battle of Carillon}} ({{comics|marvel|3}}).

== Notes ==
* The landram craft was a snowcat provided by [[w:Thiokol|Thiokol]], based on their "Imp" chassis with some modifications requested by production.
** While some references claim the use of the "Spryte" chassis, the Imp has been positively identified due to two distinct differences: the sprocketed drive wheel at the front of the chassis (Spryte has it in the rear) and the tracks being a width of only 2 feet vs. the Spryte's track width of 8 feet.
* The landram was [[buckwiki:landcraft|redressed multiple times]] for [[Glen A. Larson]] and [[Leslie Stevens]]' ''[[buckwiki:Buck Rogers in the 25th Century|Buck Rogers in the 25th Century]]'', also produced alongside the Original Series: the first time as a [[buckrogers:Earth Defense Directorate|Earth Defense Directorate]] tank in "[[buckwiki:Awakening|Awakening]]," a second time (in its "open" form) as a land vehicle in "[[buckwiki:Unchained Woman|Unchained Woman]]," a Draconian landcraft in "[[buckwiki:Escape from Wedded Bliss|Escape from Wedded Bliss]]," and later as another Earth Defense Directorate craft in "[[buckwiki:Flight of the War Witch|Flight of the War Witch]]."
