Description

The R10 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (ICV) is a medium sized OmniVehicle designed for infantry transport and fire support missions. First deployed during the early thirty-second century for the Army of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, the Exeter Organization of Keystone designed the vehicle to be a flexible infantry OmniVehicle that could be purchased by a range of buyers, ranging from poor planetary militias up to the large and well-off regimental formations of Commonwealth's neighboring nation states.

Thanks to adequate armoring and considerable firepower in comparison to the traditional APCs, the R10 gained the nickname of being the "APC with Teeth" from the conventional and Battle Armor troops assigned to them. The vehicle would end up serving a number of Free Worlds League nation states and independent worlds. Despite Clan Wolf gaining control of the vehicle's main factory during Operation HAMMERFALL, the newly founded Wolf Empire continued to allow the R10 to be exported for sale.

Weapons and Equipment

Intended as an infantry transport, the vehicle's fixed equipment includes an Infantry Compartment with four tons' capacity. The vehicle's turret is home to the majority of the vehicle's pod space, holding up to 15 tons of the vehicle's total eighteen tons' worth of equipment. Protecting the vehicle's crews and passengers during battle is 7 tons of Kallon FWL Special Ferro-Fibrous Armor with CASE permanently installed.

The R10's Primary Configuration features two sets of short-range and intermediate range weaponry. These include a pair of Extended Range Medium Lasers housed in front of the vehicle, while a pair of 6-tube Short-Range Missile Launchers is mounted in the turret. An additional 8 tons is added to the vehicle's Infantry Bay capacity.

Alternate Configurations

• Alternate Configuration A 

  This configuration is geared towards anti-vehicle/'Mech fire support. The vehicle sports four Medium Lasers with a pair in front and a pair in the turret. A pair of Light Class 5 Autocannons is mounted in the turret as well, being fed by two one-ton ammo bins. Two additional Heat Sinks are fitted to help cope with the heat output of the weapons.

• Alternate Configuration B 

  The B concentrates its primary firepower with the use of a single LB 10-X Class Autocannon found in the turret. The vehicle's front weapons are a pair of Small Pulse Lasers. The B can act in the role of its parent formation's electronic warfare support with its Beagle Active Probe and Guardian ECM. BV(2.0)=756

Variants

• R10 Mechanized ICV (Coolant Truck) 

  A fixed-configuration version of the R10, this variant sports two Vehicle Flamers mounted in the front of the vehicle. Gone is the tank's turret, Infantry Bay, and OmniPod space, in their place is a Liquid Cargo Space which is able to store upwards to 20.93 tons worth of liquid. The R10 Coolant Truck is typically used as a portable water source and can be used for firefighting via the Vehicle Flamers. The flamers themselves can be used for their original purpose, the vehicle has 20 rounds for these two weapons. BV(2.0)=355

Notes

The R10 Mechanized ICV was first created by WizKids' MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures game as a part of its Age of Destruction expansion release. It was later adapted by Catalyst Game Labs and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to 3145.
