The vehicle was intended as an upgrade from the original [[Maxim]] hover transport. Though Cyclops wanted to build on the long history of the original Maxim and continue to use heavy weapons, Scarborough’s engineers pointed out that by carrying fewer weapons the crew would naturally withdraw from the battlefield before getting into overly dangerous situations. This would keep the Maxim Mk. II in service for a longer time, allowing the Republic Armed Forces to spend more money on [[battle armor]] and other equipment.<ref name="TRO:3085p28+"/> + The Maxim Mark II Transport was produced by Cyclops Inc. of [[Skye]]. The vehicle was intended as a "upgrade" from the original Maxim Hover Transport. Cyclop's designers shunned the vehicle's original heavy & dated weaponry for minimum self-defense equipment. This was to encourage vehicle commanders to not risk crew or its passengers from enemy fire. − == Weapons and Equipment ==+ The vehicle was widely used post-Jihad era among military powers. − The Maxim Mk. II uses a sixteen-ton [[infantry bay]] to transport a full platoon of battle armor infantry. This can be converted to carry a full company of conventional infantry.<ref name="TRO:3085p28+"/> − To support the infantry, the Maxim Mk. II uses twin turret-mounted [[MML-3]] launchers. Though these missile launchers aren't powerful by themselves, the two ton ammunition bay allows the Maxim to carry standard LRM or SRM loads as well as [[:Category:Special Munitions|special munitions]] like the [[Thunder LRM]].
