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.
