Introduced in [[2944]]<ref name=HAp72a>''House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition)'', p. 72 "Vargr APC Tank" Record Sheet</ref>, the '''Vargr''' (meaning 'wolf' in old norse) is an APC used by various factions to move infantry units.<ref name=BVG>''BattleTech (Video Game)''</ref>. Relatively large for an APC, the Vargr's seven ton infantry bay allows it to carry a significant amount of infantry to the battlefield, while its substantial armor protection means it's likely to last long enough to deliver those infantry.

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
Owing to its role as an armored personnel carrier, the Vargr is relatively lightly armed. It carries two Machine Guns and two [[medium laser]]s in a turret, allowing it to effectively support its payload of infantry after delivering them.

APCs are not fighting vehicles, for their main function is to transport infantry squads from one battle to another. The Vargr APC carries two Machine Guns and two Medium Lasers in a turret, but these are carried usually only for defense against other infantry units.<ref name=BVG/>
