The landram party on Carillon.

A landram is a tracked vehicle used for ground operations (TOS: "Saga of a Star World"), typically shuttled to a planet via a shuttle (TOS: "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 (TOS: "Saga of a Star World").

Such crafts are typically conveyed to planetoid surfaces via shuttles.

Variants

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

A version of the landram modified for use in frigid climates is the snowram (TOS: "The Gun on Ice Planet Zero, Part I").

Power Sled

Starbuck and Boomer with Siress Belloby's energizer, embarking towards Serenity after landing on Sectar (TOS: "The Magnificent Warriors").

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. 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.

It is stolen by Sire Bogan's agents on the outskirts of Serenity to coerce the assistance of Starbuck, but later recovered (TOS: "The Magnificent Warriors").

In the separate continuity

Ovions overlook a landram on Carillon's surface (Deathtrap!).

Landrams are deployed on Carillon to scout for sources of tylium, and later one of these is used by Lieutenant Jolly to take out numerous Centurions during the Battle of Carillon (Deathtrap!).
