Description
Designed and produced during the Star League Civil War, the 'LB-X Carrier was a mass-produced combat vehicle built for the SLDF forces combating Stefan Amaris's combat troops for control of the Star League, the Terran Hegemony. Based on Primitive Weapons Carriers produced during the Age of War, the LB-X Carrier (also known officially as Weapon Carrier, Tracked.) was devised by SLDF Engineers as means to simplify manufacturing of replacement of combat vehicles during the conflict.
The vehicle was designed as support unit, the vehicle was deployed en masse to increase their survival in battle. LB-X Carrier's manufacture Drago Limited of Skye, was but one of many companies mass-producing vehicle. However, the quality of the vehicle varied from company to company. Resulting in poor quality resulted these vehicles would be laid up for maintenance prior to them entering service with their intended combat units.
The LB-X Carrier itself would remain in service until the Succession Wars, where due to the lost of technology would soon disappear and be replaced by slightly more primitive Weapons Carriers.[2]
Armament & Capacities
Named for its primary weapon systems, the LB-X Carrier is armed with pair of Defiance Ravager LB 10-X Autocannons found in its front. The guns are supplied by four tons of ammunition, giving it plenty of room for optional ammunition. In addition to its namesake weapon system, the vehicle also mounts three forward mounted 5-tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers, which have two tons of ammunition.
Its 180-Rated Fusion Engine and other vitals are protected by 6.5 tons of Aldis Heavy Ferro-Fibrous which is focus evenly in front side arcs but lightly in its rear.[3]
Variants
- Weapon Carrier, Tracked (Ultra AC/5) - Considered to be failed variant of SLDF Weapon Carrier, the vehicle consisted of trio of Class 5 Ultra Autocannons teamed with single 5-tubed LRM launcher. Failure was due in part of the vehicle lacking in "knockout punch".
- Weapon Carrier, Tracked (AC/20) - A Feared ambush tank, this carrier featured pair of Class 20 Autocannons with single 5-tubed LRM launcher providing the vehicle its only long-range weapon.[4]
