WJMC M173 Wolf class Grav APC, TL 12[edit]
The vehicle has a crew of three (driver, gunner, and commander) and mounts a stabilized VRF Gauss Gun in the turret. The sensors and communications are considered excellent. The 5,000 power radio is a standout unit and supports excellent range which permits satellite uplinks while on the move. The chassis front is radically sloped and the superdense armor and exceeds hull metal standards for deployment in a protected forces setting. The crew and passengers need not worry about CBR/NBC or other hostile environments, there is an airlock, the hull is sealed, pressurized with life support for 15.

Background & History[edit]
Built by the government of Wolf (world) for army and marine mobility operations. These huge Grav APCs form the backbone of Lift Infantry Battalions and Marine Assault Battalions. They rely on the Wolf Joint Military Command for interstellar deployments. These TL–12 Grav APCs are designed to deliver a squad of infantry to the FEBA. The three vehicle crew team stay with the vehicle, and a squad of twelve disembark. Companies of nine APCs have 135 troopers. Their armor is excellent. The troop transport version, lacks weapons capable of dealing with enemy armor. Various versions of this base model are used for fire support. Underpowered they are very slow. The armor masses more than 800tons itself. The grav units provide 1,200tons of thrust. The turret mounted main weapon lacks the power to defeat the heaviest Grav Tanks and lacks point defense fire control. You need a technician with tools to keep these running.
