Description

The AC/2 Carrier is a tracked generic fire support vehicle introduced during the Age of War as part of family of Weapons carrier vehicles. The original vehicle utilized Primitive Technology, which made it much heavier and labor intense design. However, it was updated over the centuries served well beyond the Succession Wars.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

  • Primitive - This Age of War design that inspired all followers used three tons of BAR 6 armor to provide protection. It mounted Advanced Fire Control systems to guide the four AC/2 autocannons mounted on the vehicle's front side. Two tons of ammunition is carried in the body.[3]

Notes

The AC/2 Carrier has never been profiled before, however it has been mistaken for the Pike due to their size, speed and similar armaments. It is also not clear as of this writing if the AC/2 Carrier is related to the LRM and Laser carriers from 3039 and earlier publications.
