==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 in their most mundane of roles. Armored Personnel Carriers are among the least complex and sturdiest vehicles available, produced in the thousands across human inhabited space. Since a communicator is the most advanced piece of equipment they carry, they do not require any special gear to repair.

Each of the three basic types of APCs has its own individual function on the battlefield. '''Wheeled APC'''s tend to be cheaper to build, and they carry more armor than their [[Tracked APC|Tracked]] or [[Hover APC|Hover]] counterparts. The wheeled APC is used mostly in city fighting, because wheels are best-suited for roads and light cross-country movement.

APCs are not fighting vehicles, for their main function is to transport infantry squads from one battle to another. The "standard" wheeled APC carries two [[Machine Gun]]s, but these are carried usually only for defense against other infantry units.
