It is specifically for export to and use by the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]] in [[calendar:ye_34]].
  
 It is known officially as the "Type 34 AGPC", and nicknamed "Ro" ( 驢 - Donkey ) by the troops due to its role. It is known officially as the "Type 34 AGPC", and nicknamed "Ro" ( 驢 - Donkey ) by the troops due to its role.

-Not too long after the introduction of the Origin Armored Personnel Carrier, Origin Industries was commissioned to provide several ground vehicles for the [[:star_army_of_yamatai]]. Specifically, The [[stararmy:fleets:fifth_standard_fleet]], which was rearming itself with more adequate equipment at the time. With a vehicle commission consisting of experts in the field and several soldiers and ex-soldiers from the front lines, the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier was made.+Not too long after the introduction of the Origin Armored Personnel Carrier, Origin Industries was commissioned to provide several ground vehicles for the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]].

With a vehicle commission consisting of experts in the field and several soldiers and ex-soldiers from the front lines, the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier was made.
  
 The vehicle was produced with a focus on cheap, easy production, as well as equally cost efficient maintenance  and repair. To top this, the Type 34 AGPC was also made to be the basis of several other vehicles, just as the [[corp:origin:armored_personnel_carrier|Origin APC]] was before it. In YE 34, Origin Industries produced the first initial production run of vehicles for the Fifth Fleet of the Star Army of Yamatai. The vehicle was produced with a focus on cheap, easy production, as well as equally cost efficient maintenance  and repair.

 Best described as an armored box on eight wheels, the Type 34 sports a Star Army Multi-Net Camouflage Pattern straight out of the factory, rather than parade colors due to its provisional and field test model nature.  Best described as an armored box on eight wheels, the Type 34 sports a Star Army Multi-Net Camouflage Pattern straight out of the factory, rather than parade colors due to its provisional and field test model nature.

-The hull of the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier consists of interlocking pieces of [[material:adnr|ADNR]] encased and reinforced with [[material:durandium]] to save weight yet provide strength. This configuration provides ample structural integrity, as the more malleable material provides some degree of give, preventing shattering, while the harder material makes up for the softer material's lack of hardness and in turn assists in preventing deformation.+The hull of the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier consists of interlocking pieces of [[materials:adnr|ADNR]] encased and reinforced with [[materials:durandium]] to save weight yet provide strength.

-Meanwhile, armor itself consists of  [[material:yama_dura]] plates laminated with 5mm of [[material:durandium]] for the outer coating. These armor plates are mounted to the hull using a modular, easy on and off system, allowing for expedient repairs to damage done. As with the hull plates, the armor plates interlock with one another for additional rigidity and strength. +Meanwhile, armor itself consists of  [[materials:yama_dura]] plates laminated with 5mm of [[materials:durandium]] for the outer coating.

 An added modification made for the OI-K1-2 Series is a V-Shaped lower hull. This serves to help protect the vehicle and its crew from explosions directly underneath, where the belly is softest. The V-Shape helps to direct the concussive blast of high explosives and plasma away, rather than providing a flat surface to go straight up against.  An added modification made for the OI-K1-2 Series is a V-Shaped lower hull.
