--- The Iroqouis MBV is a 75 Ton Star League Era ICE powered combat vehicle. "MBV" stands for Main Battle Vehicle, and was developed with an eye towards furthering the aging Main Battle Tank (MBT) concept. Instead of attempting to simply make another MBT, but with new technology insteadf of old technology, the designers of the the Iroqouis set out to update the very concept of an MBT and make it somehow relevant again.

--- To this end the Iroqouis is equipped with a pair of Class 5 Autocannons and a set of Four Tubed SRM Launchers, all mounted in the vehicle's turret. Backing this up are a quartet of Machine Guns with half of them mounted in the turret and the other half mounted in the forward firing arc of the vehicle's body. The Autocannons and SRMs are fed with two tons of munitions each, while the Machine Guns share a half ton of ammunition between them.

--- The Iroqouis also sports a special two ton Infantry Bay. This bay can be quickly re-arranged to carry Infantry or Cargo. It is also possible to carriage Battle Armor when configured for Infantry. Twelve and a half tons of armor afford the Iroqouis MBV with adequate protection while a 225 Rated ICE Power Plant propels it the unit up to an acceptable top speed of 54.0 km/h. The unit's Internal Combustion Engine is also significantly easier to maintain than a Fusion Power Plant, but this particular design ended up consuming fuel a tremendous rate.

--- The unit was designed with the idea that a combat vehicle's speed would not be as useful on a battlefield dominated by BattleMechs, so the Iroqouis was geared around multi-functionality with the ability to move troops and cargo, engage a variety of targets and exhibit good combat endurance. It's ammunition-based weaponry, robust Tracked motive configuration allow it to bring a lot of firepower into the field for it's size all while being able to navigate rough terrain as well as can be expected from a 30th Century combat vehicle.

--- The Iroqouis IIC is a ClanTech remake of the venerable Iroqouis. Although it is not a refit, the Iroqouis IIC is still very similar to the Star League Era design that sired it. Designed and put into production sometime around 3025, the Iroqouis IIC makes use of a pair of Ultra AC/5s fed by three tons of ammunition. It was deemed that either the target or the vehicle would be destroyed before the unit could fire off more than sixty volleys in standard mode, while the cannons would most likely jam before the unit could fire off fifteen volleys.

--- The SRM-4s, now upgraded to Streaks, are still fed by two tons of ammunition while the brace of Machine Guns still share a single half ton bin. With the Clan version being re-designed and re-built from the ground up to make use of Clan spec equipment the Iroqouis IIC was able to free up both weight AND critical space for an additional Collapsible Bay. The unit is typically fielded at the Point level and will usually support one or two Points or Elementals, serving as transporting for them while also supplementing their logistic arm.

--- The primary users of the Iroqouis IIC MBV are Clan Ghost Bear and Clan Hell's Horses. Clan Ghost Bear makes hefty use of Elementals, and as such the Iroqouis IIC provides a great compliment to their operations. Likewise, Clan Hell's Horses' focus on Combined Arms doctrine makes the Iroqouis IIC's abilities particularly attractive. Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon both field the vehicle in some capacity, typically as part of Garrison forces or other back line units. Clan Snow Raven also fields a limited number of these in the Anti-Air role. Almost all of the Clans however have fielded the Iroqouis IIC as an armed convoy unit, a role which it excelled in, being able to fend of a variety of threats on it's own.
