A light infantry support vehicle designed by the EEC to augment it's light infantry and mech infantry troops. It has a specially sloped and modified under carriage to help resist mine strikes (Armor SP on underside is only 75% of total SP instead of half SP), and mounts several light and heavy weapons to enable it to provide quick firesupport in most combat situations. The vehicle is simple, rugged, relatively cheap and has lots of room for after market add ons. Another feature is it features hand and foot holds so up to a squad of troops can ride on the outside if conditions permit. This vehicle is popular with security forces, border guard agencies, and many third world nations.
