In their effort to root out their ancient enemy, the Grey Steel Order occasionally has to pursue more subtle plans of action. The tools of their trade can be used just as efficiently in open war as out of it, though they must be heavily modified when changing their purpose. During peacetime, the great threat they go so far to subdue may show its face in less obvious ways, such as corrupt officials, organized crime, and many other forms of "regular" evil.

If the Order suspects that there is an incident of corruption by the ancient enemy, they will send one of their operatives to investigate, and the Hussar Trike, with its ability to perform equally well on all (land-based) terrain, and excellent gas mileage, is the favored mode of transport - not all evil hideouts are based in cities.

When not in use for war it has no weapons of its own. Nevertheless, whether during wartime or peacetime it is fast enough to be used in a minor scouting role.

After being outfitted for war, the Hussar comes with a pair of heavy flamethrowers. The flamethrowers themselves are mostly intended for anti-infantry use or clearing out a garrisoned structure, but they are also capable of serving two further purposes: they can be directed behind to provide a burst of speed and to damage units attempting to follow it, and they can maintain fire on a more heavily armored target in an attempt to make it more vulnerable. Heating an enemy unit in this way reduces its defense against all other weapons, including other flame weapons.

Creative Hussar drivers have been known to use the heat effect of their flamethrowers to thaw out friendly units frozen by Andoran cryobeams. Stupid Hussar drivers have been known to try the same on frozen friendly infantry, and are usually executed after the conflict for treason.
