Description
The backbone of any vehicular military unit, APCs have been carrying infantry since the days of pre-spaceflight Terra and even in the era of Battle Armor, continue their most mundane of roles. Armored Personnel Carriers are among the least complex and sturdiest vehicles available produces in the thousands across human inhabited space. They do not require any special equipment to repair, and a communicator is the fanciest piece of equipment they carry.
Each of the three basic types of APCs has its own individual function on the battlefield. When comparred to their Tracked or Wheeled counterparts, Hover APCs sacrifice armor protection for speed. While they are restricted to travel on flat open terrain such as deserts and snow plains, they are the vehicle of choice for any commander who wants his units to respond rapidly.
Armament
APCs are not fighting vehicles, for their main function is to transport infantry squads from one battle to another. The "standard" hover APC carries two Machine Guns, but these are carried usually only for defense against other infantry units.
Variants
There are many popular variants on Armored Personnel Carriers. The most popular mount more weapons, such as machine guns, at the expense of carried troops. Quite often, these vehicles no longer carry troops, and are used purely for infantry support.
