== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
 
−
[[Imperial class Grav APC (Marines)|These vehicles]] are part of the [[Imperial class Grav APC family]].
 
−
 
 
−
These [[Armored Personnel Carrier]]s are unofficially known as "The Big Stick". It is no accident that these vehicles have no low-lethality secondary weapons. It has no means of responding to provocation while limiting collateral damage - that is not its job.
 
−
 
 
−
The fact that these vehicles are armed with with Nuclear Missiles and Fusion Weapons was well advertised throughout the {{Imperium}}, and the message was clear: when the Marines arrive, the party is over, and no half-measures will be taken. Marines are not Peacekeepers - they are Peace''makers'' - even if the peace is the peace of the dead.
 
−
 
 
−
Unlike the [[Imperial class Grav APC]] as used by the [[Imperial Army]], the missile launcher is contained in the turret and thus protected from incidental damage at a slight loss of flexibility. Also unlike the [[Imperial class Grav APC]] it has a full-sized battle computer installed. The computer was required because of the low unit density of most Marine deployments, and accounts for the high unit cost of the vehicle.

−
== History & Background ([[Dossier]]) ==
 
−
