"Quick Vehicle File: Stalwart Class ATV" By Ian Stead & Tim Price is a great little addition Moon Toad Publishing's line of products. Stalwart Class ATV fills a very specific and neat little niche book and one thing about Traveller and Cepheus Engine fans is that there is never enough vehicle and equipment books. The Stalwart Class ATV is perfect for a mercenary game campaign such as we've got going with the Hostile players. The Stalwart Class ATV is well written. The  Stalwart Class ATV comes in with a general and well done set of plans and specs with everything a DM needs too introduce the players to this ATV. 
And where is this ATV actually useful?! How about just about everywhere?! For the Hostile rpg the Stalwart Class ATV is a welcome and highly useful piece of kit. And for the Hostile rpg supplement Explorers. Explorers is the perfect venue to introduce the Stalwart Class ATV where it gets slotted into the kit of the PC's. 

Because the Stalwart Class ATV comes preloaded with everything the PC's need it's also a perfect adventure venue to strand some PC's on an exoplanet. The crew and cast of NPC's are already provided with the ATV. 
The other place within the Hostile universe that comes to mind is the Roughnecks book where the Stalwart Class ATV is going to get a work out as a miner's vehicle and explorary craft. For the Clement and Earth sectors this also the case where the Stalwart Class ATV is going to be a welcome niche vehicle. The Stewart is perfect for  CCA (Cascadia Colonization Authority) team within the Clement sector and I can see it getting a workout within a campaign. 

"Quick Vehicle File: Stalwart Class ATV" By Ian Stead & Tim Price From Moon Toad Publishing works on a couple of levels. It works as a piece of equipment, possible adventure location, and as a well done little platform that get's PC's from point A. to B.. Overall I'm glad that I grabbed a copy.
