The Broadsword-class Medium Armored Vehicle is designed to be the workhorse of The Directorate armored units. It carries a wide array of weapons which while not extremely powerful are well rounded and capable of engaging any foe.
The Broadsword Medium Armored vehicle utilizes eight repulsorlifts as its main form of population. Each overlapping field can act individually allowing the Broadsword to operate with any four operational. Less than four will result in the instability of the vehicle and reduces control and movement. The Repulsorlifts of the Broadsword has the ability to reverse their repulsion creating a Gription field allowing the Broadsword to climb sheer steep grades.
Defensively, the Broadsword has an Alusteel armor layer covering its outer shell. This is further reinforced by impervium skirts on the left and right of the vehicle covering the main crew compartment, engine, repulsors, and ammo storage areas. A Impervium skidplate covers the undercarriage further protecting the important areas of the vehicle from mines and other explosives which could effect the vehicle from underneath The Broadsword has a feedback shield projector that works to protect the vehicle from energy and kinetic attacks and releases an active charge when hit which will damage its attacker.
The main weapon of the Broadsword is the turrets mounted BAR-1 Autocannon. This weapon fires high-velocity anti-matter rounds encased in hardened Osmium casings. These penetrating rounds explode upon penetration releasing their anti-matter payload with devastating destructive power.
The sponson Heavy ACP mounted dual heavy ACP repeater cannons which fires disintegrating plasma at a high rate of fire. These weapons were very effective against non-armored targets and shielding but were less effective against heavy armor. The heavy ACP sponson had a built-in extinguishing system in case of weapon overheating.
The Variable Ordinance Launcher Sponson can carry a variety to warhead tipped missiles. These can be switched out when not in combat and load out one type of warhead or a mix of warhead types. The loadout most often is a mix of anti-personnel and anti-armor warheads but can include any mix of the following warhead types.
