SSMC Type III "Equites" Armoured Assault Personnel Carrier
A cheap and easily maintained wheeled APC for mechanized warfare on low Tech Level planets. While durrable in a maintenance sense and the front armour being considered decent, the armour on the sides and back is only effective against small arms fire, making the vehicle vulnerable to flanking heavy weapons fire.
