A landram is a tracked vehicle used for ground operations (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").
A landram is deployed to the surface 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").
Another modified version, this time without the cabin and open to the air, and presumably without Colonial markings, appears in "The Magnificent Warriors". It is stolen by agents of the Sheriff in Serenity.
Re-Imagined Series landram
A landram is among the Original Series vehicles in the exhibition in Galactica's starboard hangar bay in the Miniseries. Included in the display are an original Viper, shuttle and Cylon Raider.
A landram also appears at the beginning of the episode "Scar", aiding the Majahual in mining activities on an asteroid. Another one is hit by a crash-landing Raptor in Galactica's landing bay (TRS: "Escape Velocity").
Notes
- The landram craft was provided by Thiokol.
- The landram was redressed as a Draconian landcraft for the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode "Escape from Wedded Bliss."
