Originally named "RH1-N0 Tracked Exploration and Multi-Purpose Defense Vehicle," it was used to explore newly colonised worlds. First field-tested on [[Mars]], the "Rhino," as it came to be known, was a success, thanks to its extreme dependability, ability to run on any semi-combustible fuel source, and the fact that it can be produced from any locally available material, thus it is a simple and extremely adaptable vehicle.{{Fn|2b}} The material composition of a standard template Rhino is roughly 60 percent various metals and 40 percent other materials.{{Fn|14}}
The military value of such a vehicle was soon recognised, and soon each planet in the burgeoning [[human]] empire had its own customised versions of the Rhino, fitted with tons of varying weapons.{{Fn|2b}}
