Intent: An armored personnel carrier. That's about it.
Development Thread: No
Manufacturer: Iron Crown Productions
Model: QBT Vornskr Armored Personnel Carrier
Affiliation: Fringe Confederation
Modularity: Yes. The Vornskr can be fitted with impact cages (forcing explosives to detonate at a distance from the vehicle), and different roof mounts (such as a laser cannon, a grenade launcher, or even a light mass driver).
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Anti-spalling interior coating, sloped durasteel plating, glasteel viewports
Description: Sloped plating diverts impacts and explosions from front, rear, and sides, and spread standard laser or ion strikes across a larger surface area. A v-hull does the same for mines or IEDs. A rubbery plast coating prevents spalling (the detachment of parts of the hull as shrapnel due to powerful external impacts). The vehicle has two main hatches, two gunports on each side, and one rear gunport. To deter the kind of melee combatant that is capable of jumping onto the roof of a fast-moving vehicle, the roof can be electrified. A deflector shield, rounded but relatively closely fitted to the hull, is good only for short-term solutions: It is manually activated as a pulse, to repel an incoming and foreseen strike or to cut the ankles out from anyone standing on the roof. Sustained, rather than pulsed, operation will burn out the shield generator within a handful of serious impacts. With a cooldown of five seconds between one-second shield pulses, however, the generator can last indefinitely, barring damage.
The main armament is a single popup dorsal mount, low-profile and operated remotely from within the APC. The turret contains two barrels, separated by vibration-damping condensed-matter composite: A 13mm caseless automatic slugthrower, and a Ssi-Ruuvi particle paralysis beam with a range of 50m.
