To quickly create a canon Support Vehicle article that matches the format in use with other canon Support Vehicles:

1. Open the new article.

2. Paste the following code into the edit field:


{{InfoBoxSupportVehicle
| image                  = [[Image:*.***|191px]]
| Name                   =
| Manufacturer           =
| Production Year        = <!-- Optional field -->
| Year Reference         = <!-- Optional field -->
| Use                    =
| Tech Base              =
| Chassis Type (Size)    =
| Cost                   = <!-- Optional field -->
| Introduced             =
| Mass                   =
| Structural Integrity   = <!-- Optional field -->
| Speed                  = <!-- Legacy optional field -->
| Top Speed              = <!-- Legacy optional field -->
| Cruise                 = <!-- Optional field, km/h -->
| Flank                  = <!-- Optional field, km/h -->
| Safe Thrust            = <!-- Optional field, in g -->
| Max Thrust             = <!-- Optional field, in g -->
| Station Keeping Thrust = <!-- Optional field -->
| Power Plant            = 
| Power Plant Type       = <!-- Optional field -->
| Fuel (Type/Range)      =
| comsys                 = <!-- Communications System Optional field -->
| T&T                    = <!-- Targetting and Tracking system Optional field -->
| Fire Control System    = <!-- Optional field -->
| Turret                 = <!-- Optional field -->
| Armament               =
| Heat Sinks             = <!-- Optional field -->
| Fitted Equipment       = <!-- Optional field -->
| Armor                  =
