Description
Abeona High Mobility Heavy Load Carrier.

The initial design of the Indra APC - cfw.sarna.net/wiki/images/0/0d… was found to be a flawed design with a host of issues from stability to overheating and was quickly redesigned into the current form www.deviantart.com/mattplog/ar… in service with the Clans Touman's.

The original chassis though wasn't completely without merit and in the 3000's the design was repurposed into a vehicle for the Merchant and Worker Caste as well as being able to support the Warrior Caste by carrying supplies on military bases as well as on rough terrain to support larger Trials.

With armour reduced to a mere 2.5 tons and all armament removed the vehicle's protection offers 'adequate' protection against Bandit Caste attacks whilst the simple portal-axel suspension gives it decent cross country performance when needed. Speed depends on the engine, the most common version has a ICE engine with a maximum speed of 56kph whilst the fuel cell version is far less common and has a higher ground speed, capable of hitting 64kph.
Both versions can carry a maximum of 16 tons of cargo and this can be a mix of wet or dry cargo which can be quickly offloaded by the two small cranes which can either be remotely operated from within the cabin or from cabs on the cranes themselves. With a wider wheelbase the stability issues that plagued the original design and made quite a few infantry motion sick is eliminated and the bay area can be swapped out for containerized sections which can be lifted off whole.

The operators of the vehicles do complain about the lack of access on the vehicle and they can only get on through the cab although there is a door which can lead into the cargo bays allowing the driver to walk through if needed, although this can't be done if fully loaded.
