Variants

Standard Features
- Target Identification Network
- Sensall Active Sensor Array
- Basic Communication array
- Heavy bulldozer plow can be attached on the front for clearing rubble
- Easily modified
- Alll Purpose: The TUV1 is able to fit almost any role that the army requires it to fill with relative ease, weather it be light transport, towing equipment, small front line combat, construction/clearing etc.
- Reliable and Cheap: The less than advanced systems employed on the TUV1 (mainly tracks) and simple shapes makes the craft easy to produce, fix when damaged along with being less likely to malfunction
- Proper Combat: Though it can be outfitted to enter a more front line combat role it's armament and armor it still not that same level as a main battle tank and can not hope to match it in 1 on 1 combat.
- Light Attack: Even when with the added armament attachment the TUV1 is only equipped to deal with infantry and very light craft, its founds unable to properly penetrate heavier armor.
History
With the deployment of the first regiments of foot the Tythish military also had to put into production a small versatile craft for said military to use for the time being, until more designated vehicles could be produced. Said craft was to be decently armed, fast, while still being small in size and carry a small compliment of troops, while having other necessary functions. Though a tall order the Armory was able to deliver on said demands, coming up with a universal carrier for ground troops. They accomplished this by navigating around the different requirements via making the craft easy to modify with several non specific variants that could be changed almost on a whim.
Though initially designated for decommission when newer models where to come out it was soon discovered that such a craft had a it's own small benefits and perks that larger better armored craft would not, (mainly being speed and it's compact nature). As such the model was designated to be a standard supplied craft in the Tythish infantry divisions.
Primary Function
The TUV1 serves as a universal carrier for the more standard infantry regiments of the Principality, primarily to help ferry troops and equipment from one place to another but retaining a decent amount of combat capability. All this while not being a hulking behemoth thats main role it so blow up anything in its path.
