Scion Titan model Tracked APC (TECH LEVEL 8)[edit]
The planet of Kaashik (world) maintains an old reserve unit called the Scion Light Brigade. These Armored Personnel Carriers are deployed in the headquarters and support battalion in the combat engineering platoons. They can carry 16 passengers. Two of these vehicles form small platoons of 38 combat engineers. Other versions of this heavy tracked vehicle are converted into a wide variety of support variants throughout almost all of the units of the brigade. These other variants have a larger suspension to lower the ground pressure and increase cross-country speed to 60% of the road speed. They have radically sloped frontal armor on the chassis and turret and are lightly armored to resist small arms fire and shell fragments. They carry roughly twice the armor protection as the Hovercraft in their brigade. They are sealed and equipped with overpressure to resist NBC/CBR threats. They can't maneuver in the absence of an atmosphere. They carry three crew, a driver/mechanic, gunner and commander. Their mass takes a toll on the tracked suspension which requires extra maintenance and slows the cross-country speed to 50% of the road speed. But their ground pressure ensures that they never get stuck in mud, snow, soft earth or sand. They are high profile vehicles with good ground clearance. Their weight takes a toll on roadways and most bridges can't support their mass. They can wade at shallow river fords. One mechanic/technician with the appropriate tools and access to a workshop can maintain this vehicle.

Weapons:[edit]
There is a fully stabilized radically front sloped 28m3 turret (1.25m tall, 4m wide, 7m long) on the chassis deck. There are a pair of independently targetable remote mounts, one for the right flank and the other covers the left flank of the vehicle.
They each mount a photon cannons in the local parlance equal to a TL–8 laser carbines in performance. Each has its own stabilized remote mount for anti-personnel and target designation work. They can each engage a single target/fire phase and have their own 50-shot batteries. The direct fire characteristics are:
| Effective Range | Long Range | Extreme Range |
| 150m (7) | 300m (3) | 1.5 km (1) |
They mount the Fang gun system, a 6cm twin barreled, hyper velocity, electric action autocannon with TL–8 direct fire control. The Rounds mass 6kg and there is storage for 800 KEAP rounds which are included in the purchase price. The ROF is 40 and there is enough ammunition for 20 fire phases. The weapon can engage 4 targets/phase and has +2 signature when it fires. The direct fire characteristics are:
| Effective Range | Long Range | Extreme Range |
| 2km (30) +3 w/KEAP ammo | 3km (27) +2 | 4.5km (24) +1 |
