SPECIAL FEATURES
The AXC-3 is the Republic Remnant's main APC, the main drive behind its development was to increase its mobility in urban and other dense environments. This was done by developing powerful thrusters allowing it to increase its vertical height for short bouts of time to reach areas that would normally be impassable to other APCs. Some cuts had to be made such as a lower crew and reduced armaments as well as a lower operational range which is still hotly debated as many do not like the idea of their APCs not being able to get where they are needed when the cards are down, but for short range engagements, their mobility has been the key to more then a few successful engagements.
Technical Explanation
Crew: The AXC-3 is manned by a single crew member who does every role. He drives it, he controls the nose-mounted rotary cannon, controls the com system, watches the sensor suite and is the one who makes field repairs when possible or necessary. This is a lot of work for one man especially with the added pressure of having the lives of twelve other people on their conscious when they are carrying soldiers to the front. This is a high stress job and is not desirable by most people in the Remnant vehicle operators. This added stress often causes slip ups or large irritation which can lead to deceases in combat efficiency.
Carrying Capacity: The AXC-3 was designed to carry twelve soldiers, this may seem odd at first, considering the standard Remnant squad size is ten, but the reason it is twelve is for tag alongs, most commonly, Jedi. The AXC-3 is designed to fit all of the squad and their equipment, however, at the top of is a series of armored compartments designed to allow soldiers to store more sensitive or violtile equipment to lessen the chance of them being damaged should the AXC-3 come under fire or from bouncing around should the AXC-3 need to make evasive maneuvers.
Weapon Systems: The AXC-3 carries a nose mounted rotary cannon and two dual automated light repeating blaster turrets. The rotary cannon, while having an impressive firing rate, can only fire in a limited frontal arc and can only fire at, or below, its level. As the AXC-3 tends to hover around four meters in the air, this is usually not an issue. Along with the rotary cannon, the AXC-3 has two dual light repeating blasters located at the front of the vehicle at either end. These turrets have a ride range of fire but cannot fire behind it due to the armor stopping its rotation and large thruster blocking firing lanes. These weapons are all rapid fire but lack a punch and so are not designed to go up against heavy armor, be they vehicle or the infantry variety, instead, they are purely weapons of suppression meant to unload a high saturation covering fire so the soliders can disembark as safely as possible.
Defensive Systems: The AXC-3 comes with the standard Republic Remnant composite plating designed to give it as much protection as they can without slowing it down. The armor is angled and sloped to try and deny as much direct hits as possible. The plating, itself, is not as thick or layered as many want, and, as such, it is not noticeably more durable the nany other apc of its class and size. Along with this, the AXC-3 does come with the standard shield generator to help it absorb more fire before the armor plating is required to take over to help increase its survival rates. The APc also has an advanced jamming system to help obstruct guided weaponry or advanced sensors to help it get its soldiers to the dropzone, or, to pick them up from danger.

- Jumper - The ACX-3 is armed with a potent thruster system that allows the ACX-3 is high maneuverability, but that is not all it does, it also allows the ACX-3 to make 'jumps' allowing it to increase its vertical lift to fifty meters making it great at clearing obstructions or parking on top of places it normally could not reach, such as buildings or platforms, in order to disembark its infantry in more advantageous, and often safer, positions.
- Rapid Deployment - The ACX-3 has four hatches, one on top and one on the each side, each capable of fitting one soldier at a time, and the large rear hatch that has enough room for two soldiers to disembark at once. This allows the ACX-3 to drop its soldiers off at a very rapid pace but this is not all, this also lets the ACX-3 deploy soldiers in other directions should, for any reason, it be unable to relocate and one side of it be under heavy fire.
- Weak Armaments - The weaponry of the ACX-3 does not pack much of a punch, it is only designed to engage infantry targets and is not meant to face anything heavier, the fire, itself, is also not meant to be overly lethal to enemy infantry. They are purely tools of suppression to keep the enemies heads down while the soldiers inside disembark, as such, the pure rate of fire in the general direction is what is key, not accuracy.
- Rear Blind Spot - The ACX-3 cannot see behind itself nor can its weaponry fire behind it as the thursters block a lot of visual range, as such, the ACX-3 cannot defend itself if hit from the rear which makes it particularly dangerous as the rear armor isn't great as most of it is covered in a, relatively, thin hatch.
- Fuel Usage - If the ACX-3 uses its thrusters to increase its vertical lift, it burns a lot of fuel, the higher, and longer, it utilizes it, the more of its energy it will burn. This gives it a smaller operational range then other vehicles of its kind.
- Low Crew - The AXC-3 is crewed by a single person, this was done to increase the internal storage space allowing more gear and men to be fitted without endangering the vehicles defense. However, this means the driver is responsible for driving, checking the sensor readings, managing the communication systems, handling field repairs and working the rotary cannon. That is a lot of work for a single person and produces high levels of fatigue and stress which can cause mistakes and slip ups.
