DESCRIPTION
After the end of the Empire, there was a power vacuum which was quickly being occupied by warring warlords and Moffs with some still holding true to the remnants of the government and trying to keep cohesion and stability. The lack of resources and funds for many to acquire high-tech and advanced weapon systems was apparent and a more affordable and yet efficient alternative was becoming necessary.
Among them was the Reman Infantry Fighting Vehicle, counting on tracks and more solid and simple mechanical parts than highly technological systems which would require a more elevated and sophisticated maintenance and crew. This IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) was released along with a new MBT (Main Battle Tank) and SPG (Self-Propelled Gun) and would have a relatively simple armament to support infantry in a versatile and adaptable way but primarily be constructed to safely bring infantry into a hot fighting zone. The survivability of the vehicle and especially for the crew/passengers was put on priority due to manpower and well drilled units becoming rarer than the equipment itself.
