[edit] Description
Built as replacement for the aging A100 APC, the A-73 Eye is better in all regards. It has more firepower, carries more troops and is slightly faster.
The cost went up, but the gain is well worth the extra spent. Built to fight along side the infantry it carries, the Eye has seen action both against the Karagin and in putting down minor uprisings among Co-Alliance colonies and as well as use by mercenary units that operate in and around the Co-Alliance borders as well as the areas of her allies and enemies.
[edit] Armament
The A-73 Eye is very lightly armed, using speed as its primary defense. With two forward ER Small Lasers clearing out any opposition infantry, the craft uses a Streak SRM-2 on either side, to discourage any larger threats from approaching while unloading its infantry cargo.
[edit] Variants
Several variants of the Eye are around and most are modified as needed by their crews.
