==Description==
 
==Description==
A very basic reworking of the classic [[SRM Carrier]], the '''Light SRM carrier''' is a [[Taurian Concordat]] design that improves upon the original, while remaining as true to it as possible. The Light Carrier is smaller, faster, and built on a wheeled chassis. Though this does limit its mobility somewhat, the chassis switch enabled engineers to speed the Light SRM Carrier up to 65 km/h. Even though it is smaller, the Light Carrier also carries four and a half tons of armor, one and a half more than its antecedent. It still uses an [[internal combustion engine]] for power. Though this limits the amount of components that can be carried, it also makes the design cheaper to produce and easier to repair.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

Though this [[combat vehicle]] is constructed on [[Pinard]], Protector [[Jeffrey Calderon]] allowed any legitimate [[Periphery]] power to purchase it to foster pan-Periphery unity. It is unclear whether or not this policy outlived him.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The Light SRM Carrier has a very simple armament composed of five Shannon [[SRM-6|Six-Shooter SRM Launchers]]. The armament has also been upgraded by moving the launchers into a turret mount. More ammunition is also used, up to three tons can be carried. Despite increased speed and armor, the Carrier is little more than a throwaway that can cripple damaged opponents quickly.<ref name=TRO:3060/>

==Variants==
 
*;Light Thunderbolt Carrier : Introduced during the [[Jihad]], the vehicle is fitted [[fusion engine]] and [[Technology Rating|advanced weaponry]]. The new engine increased the vehicle's speed to over 80 km/h. The original SRMs are replaced by five long-range advanced tech [[Thunderbolt 5|Thunderbolt 5 Missile Launchers]]. The vehicle is outfitted with 36 rounds of fire for those launchers. BV (2.0) = 714<ref>''Record Sheets: 3060 Unabridged'', p. 40</ref>
