==Overview:==
The Bushmaster Infantry Mobility Vehicle is a lightly armored and unarmed
troop transport manufactured by Pinard Protectorates Limited for primary for
the the Taurian Concordat planetary militias. Some Bushmasters have been
aquired for field testing by Taurian Defense Force.
==Capabilities:==
Not a frontline unit, the Bushmaster was designed to transport an entire
standard infantry platoon quickly at speeds of up to almost 120 kms/h. Lightly
armored with only 2 tons of standard armor, the Bushmaster is only able to
withstand a hit or two from medium caliber weapons. A half ton of cargo space
is availble to carry any gear a platoon may need.
The only downside of the Bushmaster is its lack of any armament. Should it
come under attack, the Bushmaster can only be defended by its human cargo or
hopefully able to outrun its pursuers.
==Variants:==
The variant being field test by the Taurian Defense Force downgrades the
engine to a 40 rated ICE and adds a single front mounted machine gun along
with a half ton of ammo.

For a 10 ton ICE powered APC, the carrying capacity is highly respectable. I like the militia general purpose role this seems to serve.
There'll be the devil to pay mate. Better make it good, eh?

Slight Mistake I noticed. The variant should read "The variant being field test by the Taurian Defense Force downgrades the engine to a 30 rated ICE and adds a single front mounted machine gun along with a half ton of ammo.

I think its price/passanger is more noticable then its carring capacity. Other APCs are faster, more armored, or armored, but are far more expense (but safer too boot). I should of mentioned something about it being nicknamed a moving coffin or something, since one good hit with a heavy weapon and 30 guys are dead in an instant.
