Capsule: The Ibliton-Class infantry fighting vehicle is made
specifically for use with the Shepherd-Class APC and is frequently
purchased as part of a package deal which
includes both vehicles. The Ibliton functions as a squad vehicle
and light assault craft. While not as mobile as a repulsorlift craft the
Ibliton has the benefit of being much
less complex and much more easily repaired than comparable repulsorlift
assault vehicles. Additionally, the Ibliton is not subject to the
problems that repulsorlift craft suffer when
subjected to high radiation environments. The Ibliton's main
weapon is a medium turbolaser which allows it to engage much larger battlecraft
with a reasonable chance of hurting
the enemy. The secondary weapons are three light rotary blaster cannons
used for point defense and anti-infantry work. These guns are typically
crewed by the combat squad that the
Ibliton carries into battle. Normally three of the ten-man squad
remains with the vehicle at all times to ensure that the guns are always
manned and ready to fire. The tertiary
weapon system is manned by the pilot. This is an anti-infantry blaster
cannon designed to clear troops out of the way of the vehicle's path. As
a secondary use the cannon can be used
to punch holes in barriers blocking the Ibliton's path. The
sturdy little vehicle is layered in 5 centimeters of ceramic-durasteel
composite plating. This, along with the Class 3 shield
generators, allows the Ibliton to survive hits that would vaporize
some other types of light assault vehicles.
