Designed and constructed for Anpaan Republic, manufactured locally on Anpaan at TL–11, these 8.5T G-Carriers are a mainstay of the Anpaan Republican Marines. Each fleet carrier deploys ten of these vehicles to transport their very small marine company. They have excellent range and operational endurance. Several logistical and support variants are possible with this basic chassis, but as yet have not been developed. The main variation on this basic design is the ARM529 Warden class Close Fire Support Carrier, a much more expensive version.

ARM101 Heavy Raider class G-Carrier, TL 11[edit]

This award-winning design is pressurized and fully sealed, with life support for the three crew and six passengers in vacuum and protected forces roles. It features an airlock and Protected Forces rated crystaliron armor and decent speed. The suite of weapons requires no fire control systems. The VRF Gauss Gun is fitted to a fully stabilized, retractable, open remote mount on the chassis deck. Each side has a remotely controlled weapon blister fitted with a laser rifle and an automatic grenade launcher. There are a pair of vertical, magazine fed missile silos firing through the top of the chassis deck.

Chassis:[edit]

Height: 2m; Width: 5.95m; Length: 10m.
Total usable volume: 119m³
Total mass loaded: 232.180478 metric tons.
Hull Material: Crystaliron
Armor: Chassis all faces 40.
Target Size DMs: +3 low, no high hits
Production Cost: Cr3,929,274.939

Movement:[edit]

The Grav APC has 1.722797728 maneuver Gs when loaded with passengers. NOE flight is limited by available TL–11 avionics and not the 400 tons of available thrust.

Speed:
Maximum, 867kph/722cm; Cruise, 650kph/542cm, NOE 150kph/125cm.
Movement effect on fire: None

Weapons:[edit]

Laser Rifles

Two Laser Rifles are mounted on either side of the chassis. Each has a 100-shot battery. Their direct fire characteristics are:

Direct Fire Characteristics: Laser Rifles TL 9
Effective Range Long Range Extreme Range
180m (9) 360m (4) 1.8 km (1)

4cm RAM Automatic Grenade Launchers

There are two remote mounts with the 4cm RAM AGLs, one on either side of the vehicle for infantry suppression. Each can engage 2 targets and has a +2 signature. Each comes loaded with 1,600 HEAP 36 grenades, enough for 20 fire phases.

Direct Fire Characteristics: 4cm RAM Automatic Grenade Launchers
Effective Range Long Range Extreme Range
370m+4 750m+3 1.5 km+2

VRF Gauss Gun

The VRF Gauss gun can engage 16 targets with a +4 signature. Each weapon has 30,000 rounds of ammunition, enough for 23 fire phases.

Direct Fire Characteristics: VRF Gauss gun
Effective Range Long Range Extreme Range
1.5 km (21) +8 3 km (19) +6 4.5 km (17) +3

TAC Missiles[edit]

There are two magazine-fed 100kg capacity vertical launch silos in the rear of the chassis. They use a very heavy 24kg 30cm HEAP 59 warhead and there is storage for 20 missiles for each launcher. The typical missile load-out is listed below. It takes two crew members to manually reload these missiles externally if additional rounds are available. The homing missiles struggle to achieve intercepts against vehicles protected with advanced ECM abilities. The missiles listed below are included in the price. In general, these missiles can destroy most enemy vehicles they typically encounter but are hampered by their short engagement range.

Characteristics: HEAP 59 Warhead Missiles
Type Range Price
(10) Homing Missiles 4km Cr519
(5) Target Designated Missiles 4km Cr619
(5) Teleguided Missiles w/Radio Command Link 3km +2 Hypervelocity DM Cr1,917
