Capsule: When Ubrikkian wanted to make an Armored Personel Carrier,
the choice of chassis was easy; by using the standard repulsortank
chassis and remodeling the rear with a troop compartment, was it
possible to make a product capable of being quickly mass-produced and
which shares the same components as most of the Empire's repulsortanks,
thereby minimizing unit cost and increasing spares availability.

Capsule: The Lupis is one of the more common light APCs in use by the
Imperial Army.

The Lupis design reflects Imperial military doctrine that views APCs
primarily as battlefield taxis for protecting occupants from hostile
fire until the troopers are within range for a decisive attack.
The design has one exit door for each trooper, four on each side and
one to the rear, which permits rapid debarkation.

                 old game Renegade Legion; Centurion.

Capsule: Nah Tikal is a Coynite word that loosely translates as "viper".
Its more exact meaning comes from the Coynite myth of a Nah Ti'Kal, or
serpent, sent by the Gods to kill a tyrant who held the people in his
iron grip.

The Viper is the standard Coynite armored personnel carrier and reflects
Coynite combat doctrine. Its primary attributes are high acceleration,
good protection, and a large missile load. Because it carries so many
missiles, the vehicle can be used offensively, unlike its Imperial
counterpart, the Lupis. However, The Viper sacrifices some armor in
order to make it possible to carry many missiles.

One of the most interesting aspects of the Viper's design is its double
hull. The main chassis is sheathed by a thin shell of armor braced any-
where from 30 to 100 centimetres away from the main hull. Though this
configuration does not reduce the weight of the armor, it does provide
two advantages:

First is that the spacing makes it easier for technicians to service
the external sensors because they do not have to work on them from the
inside of a cramped vehicle.

Second, the outer shell is configured to provide dismounting soldiers
with umbrella-like protection from shell fragments. Standard tactics
dictate that the Viper ground in a crater and that the infantry dismount
under the shell. Once the troopers have all dismounted, the Viper moves
on and the infantry rush to their positions.
This tactic allows the infantry to quickly dismount while protected and
alleviates the need for multiple exit doors, as on the Lupis.

Capsule: The Romulus is manufactured by Belenski Armaments, the same
conglomerate that manufactures the Lupis, Belenski began by simply
scaling up the Lupis. Though mission requirements and armament changes
required changes in the turret design and infantry areas, the nose of
the Romulus is an exact duplicate of the Lupis.

Capsule: The Warrior is the jewel of the Commonwealth armor forces
because its design provides an optimal balance of speed, protection
and offensive power. Combined with these battlefield attributes, the
Warrior is also easy to maintain, transport, and operate.

The dual laser cannon together with the large load of missiles provides
its infantry squad with needed in-direct fire support. The Warrior uses
the Coynite double-hull design along with the Nah Tikal's infantry exit
system. One unusual characteristic of the armored personnel carrier is
that the Warrior throws all nine infantry digging charges to the rear
of the vehicle instead of throwing these charges to the sides of the
vehicle.


Designer's Note: Tank based upon the Spartius-class grav tank from
                 FASA's old game Renegade Legion; Centurion.
