Line 9: Line 9:
 Like many vehicles and equipment pieces, the Yumihei was born out of necessity. After Star Army forces went on the offensive following the turning point that was [[stararmy:history:battle_of_yamatai]], it was soon determined that ground forces could not always rely on their supporting fleet to maintain constant air superiority, or even space superiority. Enemy forces would often distract, harass or at the worst case, defeat the ships of the fleet, hampering or eliminating the reliability of anti-air protection. To remedy the lack of anti-air support, the testbed predecessor of the Type 35 MAAP, the Type 34 SPAAG, was hurriedly put into service to evaluate its performance. Like many vehicles and equipment pieces, the Yumihei was born out of necessity.

-Due to the Type 34's success in field trials, further development was done between [[corp:origin:origin_industries]] and [[:yamatai:ketsurui_zaibatsu]], resulting in the Type 35 MAAP, or Jinsoku Yumihei. The vehicle used as many Star Army components and software as possible in its construction, and ended up entirely produced by Ketsurui Zaibatsu to ensure a steady logistical chain that would not be cut off.+Due to the Type 34's success in field trials, further development was done between [[corp:origin]] and [[faction:yamatai:ketsurui_zaibatsu]], resulting in the Type 35 MAAP, or Jinsoku Yumihei.

 The turret bustle, located directly below the turret, is where the commander resides. Inside, the commander's crash seat is supplied with a volumetric command and control system. Primarily, when the turret's ammunition stores run dry, the commander must pass ammunition boxes up to the gunner above to reload, while being wary of empty boxes dropping down as they are discarded by the gunner. The turret bustle, located directly below the turret, is where the commander resides.

-Unlike the other variants of the Armored GPC, the turret itself is manned. The gunner resides within the turret protected by 6 cm of one-way [[material:transparent_durandium]] supplemented and enhanced by a volumetric HUD system. The turret itself holds the cans and belts of munitions for the weapons systems, as it does not rely on a long feeding system from down below in the hull - it can swivel quickly to track fast moving objects in the air as a result. Of note is the gunner's seat within the turret, as it swivels up and down along with the guns outside. Additional sensors are located here, within the turret. For ease of maintenance and entry or departure, the canopy may slide forward to open. +Unlike the other variants of the Armored GPC, the turret itself is manned.

 The driver resides in a separate compartment a little ways forward of the turret bustle, with an independent volumetric system to ensure fast, safe driving. For all crew members, should the volumetric display system become fully nonoperational, several pairs of goggles are available that will provide visual feed and heads up display.  The driver resides in a separate compartment a little ways forward of the turret bustle, with an independent volumetric system to ensure fast, safe driving.

-A heavily modified version of the Origin Industries weapon, the Portable Mini-Missile Launcher Platform has been made to have ammunition commonality with SAoY [[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2908_offensive_augmentation_pods|OAP]] launchers used with the Mindy and Daisy. This ensures ammunition commonality, and logistical simplicity. In addition to these changes, the case is lined with [[material:yarvex]] to help contain the explosion in the case of ammunition cook-off - the explosion will be vented out from the front and back should the missiles prematurely detonate.+A heavily modified version of the Origin Industries weapon, the Portable Mini-Missile Launcher Platform has been made to have ammunition commonality with SAoY [[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2908_offensive_augmentation_pods|OAP]] launchers used with the Mindy and Daisy.

 Six launchers are set upon the turret, with three at each side to provide a more accurate and precise alternative to the standard autocannons. Due to the configuration of the system, the launch tubes must be reloaded externally. Six launchers are set upon the turret, with three at each side to provide a more accurate and precise alternative to the standard autocannons.
