- | |||
- | Not too long after the introduction of the Origin Armored Personnel Carrier, Origin Industries was commissioned to provide several ground vehicles for the [[stararmy: | ||

- | |||
- | 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 vehicle features a ramming bumper with several pyramidal studs for extra damage, and spaced armor on the sides composed of thick metal plates held at a fair distance from the main body of the vehicle. At its rear is a boarding ramp often used by bot crew and infantry alike - atop the vehicle is a wide selection of weapon systems which the visible primary sensors orientate along with the crew. | ||
- | |||
- | A small unmanned, remote control weapon station sporting a gauss autocannon is visible on the right side of the upper deck, beside the commander' | ||

- | |||
- | === Multi-Flare Launcher (1) === | ||
- | |||
- | Optionally mounted on the rear top of the upper hull and facing up into the air, the modified CAP fires flares. These serve to provide either visible light or infrared illumination on the battlefield. In addition, they may also fire numerous signal flares as well, provided the rounds are loaded. The launcher is typically positioned on the left side of the hull roof. | ||

- | === Multi-Spectrum Smoke-Chaff Launchers (1) === | ||
- | |||
- | Another optional piece of equipment, the MSSC Launchers serve to instantly generate smoke and chaff to break weapons locks. The missiles, typically located at the rear right of the hull roof, fire up into the air roughly two meters before detonating, instantly obscuring the vehicle in Smoke and Chaff. The smoke visually conceals the vehicle as the cloud rapidly billows out, and also prevents most sensors from getting a lock or detecting the vehicle itself. | ||

- | ===== Vehicle Systems ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Hull and Armor ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The hull of the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier consists of interlocking pieces of [[materials: | ||
- | |||
- | Meanwhile, armor itself consists of [[materials: | ||
- | |||
- | 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. | ||
- | |||
- | For the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier, despite being constructed with tougher Yama-Dura armor, the general thickness and thereby protective ability of the plating overall has been reduced. In exchange, the vehicle is lighter, allowing for improved speed, acceleration, | ||
- | |||
- | A powered winch with durandium tow cable and hook are attached to the rear of the armored hull for various uses. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Shields and Defensive Systems ==== | ||
- | |||
- | With the Type 34 entering military service with the Star Army of Yamatai, the shield systems for the wheeled vehicle were upgraded accordingly. The Graviton-Magnetic defensive field systems were made to be semi-conformal, | ||
- | |||
- | === NBC Protection Systems === | ||
- | |||
- | The nuclear, biological and chemical protection systems allow the vehicles to completely seal up and either filter air from the outside, or recycle internal atmosphere for up to 3 days before the catalytic converter expires. In the case of contaminated air getting inside the cabin, the NBC systems also have an emergency ' | ||
- | |||
- | === Variable Voltage Defense System === | ||
- | |||
- | An electrical current may be safely run through the outer hull of the vehicle, as the interior is fully insulated. This enables the vehicle to discourage boarders, incapacitating them or even carbonizing personnel, depending on the setting. It must be manually activated by the crew in order to function. | ||
- | |||
- | === CPS Control Device === | ||
- | |||
- | A Conformal Psionic Signal Control Device had been added and serves to protect the crew and a conformal area around the vehicle from being affected by psionic anomalies or attacks. The device prevents direct mental assault on the crew members inside, as well as subversion, intrusion and direct control. In addition, psyionic based attacks are often disrupted or dissipated altogether upon entering the conformal field emitted by the system. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Propulsion ==== | ||
- | |||
- | As a wheeled vehicle, it relies on eight electrical motors to power each and every individual wheel. The electrical motors provide a nearly silent and smooth ride while providing instant torque, unlike combustion based vehicles that rely on fuels to be burned. Hardened polymer wheels designed to mitigate damage incurred by kinetic, explosive and energy weapons are used; being surprisingly durable, it takes considerable firepower to destroy all four wheels on one side of the vehicle to score a mobility kill, though any one wheel lost will reduce mobility. | ||
- | |||
- | === Graviton Control System === | ||
- | |||
- | The most notable change in the original design when altered for the Star Army would be the graviton manipulation plates mounted under the armor at the bottom of the hull. These project their exotic particles through the hull, and interface with any body underneath the vehicle, allowing it to lessen or increase the effects of gravity exerted upon its hull, but not the crew. This greatly contributes to the vehicle' | ||
- | |||
- | === Performance === | ||
- | |||
- | Due to the several changes to the vehicles, the Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier can reach it's top speed in 10 seconds, while its cruising speed of 60 MPH is reached in just 4. Thanks to the graviton plates and additional programming in regards to their automated control, the vehicle is very unlikely to flip, even when traveling at high speeds over rough terrain. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Power ==== | ||
- | |||
- | A pair of [[corp: | ||
- | |||
- | For the Star Army of Yamatai, the Type 34 was made to also be capable of utilizing the very same micro-fusion reactors found within the M6 Daisy Power Armor' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Electronics ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Though outfitted with the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | === Sensors === | ||
- | |||
- | The AIES reliably detects electromagnetic activity, scalar emissions and tachyon particles in addition to the traditional visual sensors present. A sensor sub-suite is also dedicated to detecting aether usage and aether based systems. | ||
- | |||
- | The primary sensors the Type 34s are relatively visible, and though they may ' | ||
- | |||
- | The very same goes for the driver and gunner. For the gunner, the main difference is a small volumetric gunnery panel. However, should even that fail, an eyepiece and facerest are available for use to aim and fire the gun. Meanwhile, the driver' | ||
- | |||
- | === Targeting and Fire Control === | ||
- | |||
- | The Targeting and Fire Control of the Type 34s are improved upon from their predecessors, | ||
- | |||
- | === Communications === | ||
- | |||
- | The typical AIES on the Type 34s have systems for hyperspace, laser and radio, but being mounted on a wheeled vehicles and tanks not meant to be hurtling through space, designers saw fit to remove hyperspace communication capacities. Both laser and radio communications systems remain on board, though cut down to specifications better suiting its role on a planet' | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ==== Parts Commonality ==== | ||
- | |||
- | //See: [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | Due to the construction of the Type 34 AGPC, the vehicle has a high parts and component commonality with the other various K1 variants. With the OI-K1-1 design versions, there is a 60-70% commonality or compatibility in parts and various components. Meanwhile, with the OI-K1-2 design variants, the percentage of parts and component commonality can range from 70-80%, depending on the variant of the design and the degree of difference between models. In addition, there is also a 20% parts commonality or compatibility with the entire OI-K2 series. | ||
- | |||
- | Oddly enough, the vehicle also sports a rough 5-10 percent overall parts commonality with the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | This wide parts commonality and/or compatibility greatly reduces strain on logistics as well as overall repair costs. | ||
