The Indeera class Armored Personnel Carrier is a Armored Fighting Vehicle.

Description (Specifications)

Indeera ACV (TECH LEVEL 8): The Legions use 132 troopers and twelve of these GEVs in a large cavalry unit in their regiments on Vey (world). Various support, command and control elements are added as needed. The vehicle has a crew of 3 (driver, gunner, and commander) and can carry a single squad of 8 fully equipped troopers in very cramped seats. Four troopers could ride comfortably, but up to eight have been packed in, with very little room to move. It mounts a stabilized turret on the chassis deck, with a single lens pulse laser, a 7mm coaxial Gatling gun and twenty TAC missile rails which requires one crew to externally reload the 49kg missiles manually. They are derived from an older, lighter model that could float, as combat experience mounted, heavier armor was retro fitted and the greater mass precluded flotation. Designed to be fragment and bullet proof, light crew served anti-armor weapons are required to defeat its armor. They are considered an inexpensive vehicle and are popular with lower tech worlds along The Last Line. They require wide open spaces, plains, snowy tundra or desert to take full advantage of their speed and maneuverability. They can not cross water barriers unaided and are constrained by dense forest, broken terrain and steep slopes. They require an atmosphere to function and are hampered by their short endurance and operational range. The pulse laser was selected for its reasonably good armor penetration against vehicles of this technology level or lower. The laser does struggle against the more advanced and heavier Grav Tanks and relies on its missiles for anti-aircraft and anti-armor work.

    • Depending on the size of the guidance packages missiles carry different size warheads. A 20cm warhead, is available for the homing and IR follow-up missiles. An 18cm warhead is available for the target designated and operator guided missiles which utilize a radio command linkage. A 12cm warhead is used for the bigger teleguided missile guidance package. The missiles are available in long range and +10DM hyper velocity interceptor variants. Twenty hyper velocity HEAP 50 homers are included in the purchase price, no reloads are provided.
