R10

Description
The R10 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (ICV) is a medium sized OmniVehicle designed for infantry transport and fire support missions. It was first deployed during the early thirty-second century. Produced for the later defunct Army of the Marik-Stewart Commonwealth, the Exeter Organization of Keystone designed the vehicle to be an infantry OmniVehicle which could be purchased by a range of buyers. These included buyers from poor planetary militias up to the large and well-off regimental formations of nation states such as in the Free Worlds League.

The R10 gained the nickname of being the "APC with Teeth" from its troops. This was due to its considerable firepower in comparison to the traditional APC. The vehicle would end up serving a number of Free Worlds League nation-states and independent worlds. Despite the Wolf Empire gaining control of the vehicle's main factory, the R10 continued to be exported for sale.

Weapons and Equipment
Intended as an infantry transport, the vehicle's fixed equipment includes baseline Infantry Compartment with a 4 ton capacity. The vehicle's turret is home to the majority of the vehicle's Omni Pod Capacity, holding up to 15 tons of the vehicle's total 18 tons' worth of equipment. Protecting the vehicle's crews and passengers during battle is 7 tons of Kallon FWL Special Ferro-Fibrous Armor with CASE permanently installed.

The R10's Primary Configuration features two sets of short-range and intermediate range weaponry. These include a pair of Extended Range Medium Lasers housed in front of the vehicle, while a pair of 6-tube Short-Range Missile Launchers is mounted in the turret. An additional 8 tons is added to the vehicle's Infantry Bay capacity.
