This vehicle was designed as a replacement of the already obsolete T 14 Ballista IFV.This new vehicle will serve well in the Cataphract units of the Norcian army.
The design was inspired from the military vehicles of the 21st century.
The vehicle was designed according to the combined arms heavy hitting firepower shock .When it was introduced it wasn't received very well by the troops, but when it begun to be put to its routines and missions everything changed.
It offered very good protection from IED and light antitank weapons.
There was an instance where a pirate group which tried to defend their base against an attack from the 4th legion.They attacked the 12 strong convoy with everyhing they got thermobaryc concussion bombs,IED, anti tank rifles ,anti tank missile.
From the 12 ,they managed to destroy 1,damage other 3,incapacited 3.From those 3 incapacited, they were still able to use their weapons system and provide covering fire.When the remaining vehicles disambarked the remaining troops,the fight was over within 15 minutes.
One of the 3 damaged was consired an absolute luck.It lost 3 wheels,outer side armor very damaged,In the side there where 3 holes from antitank missiles which have not penetrated deep.There was also 1 missile not detonated. still lodged in the armor.
There was a case where a terrorist decided to detonate a thermobaric enriched hydrogen bomb.Once the crew detected the device ,the terrorist was eliminated with 4 30mm rounds,but the bomb detonated in front of the vehicle.
Because of the shape and the bad quality of the bomb, the lead vehicle sustained light damage,mainly at the optics and dents in the armor.Due to the explosion the vehicle will pass automaticly to internal air supply.
