Description

The backbone of any vehicular military unit, APCs have been carrying infantry since the days of pre-spaceflight Terra and even in the era of Battle Armor, continue their most mundane of roles. Armored Personnel Carriers are among the least complex and sturdiest vehicles available produces in the thousands across human inhabited space. They do not require any special equipment to repair, and a communicator is the fanciest piece of equipment they carry.

Each of the three basic types of APCs has its own individual function on the battlefield. Tracked APCs are more expensive to build, but can operate in a far wider variety of terrain, mostly broken or hilly regions, than its Wheeled or Hover counterparts.

Armament

APCs are not fighting vehicles, for their main function is to transport infantry squads from one battle to another. The "standard" tracked APC carries a single Machine Gun, carried usually only for defense against other infantry units.

Variants

There are many popular variants on Armored Personnel Carriers. The most popular mount more weapons, such as machine guns, at the expense of carried troops. Quite often, these vehicles no longer carry troops, and are used purely for infantry support.
