-====== Type 34 Armored General Purpose Carrier ======
-An [[corp:origin:armored_personnel_carrier]] upgraded and modified by [[corp:origin]]. 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.
-As of [[calendar:ye_40]], this vehicle is no longer utilized by the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]].
-==== About and History ====
-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]]. 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.
-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.
-==== Appearance ====
-{{stararmy:vehicles:oapc_saoy_camo.png?800|}}
-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's cupola. Several boxes for mini-missiles are located across the hull, and loaded with projectiles for various defensive or utility uses. In the upper superstructure, the sponson mounted automatic grenade launchers, one to each side of the vehicle, are clearly visible, with the forward arc of the superstructure being well angled to increase protection.

-===== Interior Description =====
-The main compartment stretches from the vehicle's rear ramp to just behind the commander's station and serves as the primary area for the vehicle's passengers. It is of modular layout, allowing for the vehicle to be adopted to a variety of roles. These roles include carrying powered armored infantry, acting as a mobile field ambulance, and a food or supply hauler. Inside is a variety of locations for the storage of weapons, ammunition and equipment, and though spacious for SAoY personnel, is very slightly cramped for the typical Yamataian power armor.
-At the head and to the left of the main compartment is the commander's station, which is composed of a crash seat and a volumetric command and control system. To the left is the gunner's station and the vehicle's forward hatch; from here, the gunner may remotely control the mounted weapon on the vehicle. Unlike the commander and gunner, the driver receives his or her own compartment forward of the two. It has a reclined crash seat and volumetric view system.
-A 360 degree volumetric view system is used to provide the crew with high visibility and situational awareness. Should this system become fully nonoperational, several pairs of heavy goggles are available that will provide visual feed.
-===== Weapon Systems =====
-=== 25m Automatic Gauss Cannon (1) ===
-A robust and easy to maintain weapon, the 25mm AGC provides reasonable firepower for the AGPC, capable of demolishing buildings, wrecking havoc on infantry and damaging power armors.
-[[corp:origin:25mm_automatic_gauss_cannon]]\\
-**Location:** Remote Turret, Right of Gunner's Cupola\\
-**Purpose:** Anti-Armor, Anti-Personnel\\
-**Damage:** ADR 3, Munition Dependent\\
-**Range:** 10 KM/6.2 Miles, Atmosphere\\
-**Rate of Fire:** 6 Rounds Per Second\\
-=== Type 35 Automatic Grenade Launcher (2) ===
-Replacing Origin's 42mm Airburst Grenade Launchers found on the OAPC, the Type 34 AGPC uses a Type 35 AGL modified for mounted vehicular use. These remain a semi-autonomous point defense weapon with limited firing arcs, requiring user input to fire. The launchers serve the purpose of preventing enemy movement from getting in too close.
-[[stararmy:weapons:type_35_automatic_grenade_launcher]]\\
-**Location:** Hull, Front Left and Front Right\\
-**Purpose:** Anti-Armor, Anti-Personnel\\
-**Damage:** PDR 4-ADR 2, Munition Dependent\\
-**Range:** 200 Meters((Point Defense Setting)) (4 km, Manual Operation)\\
-**Rate of Fire:** 4 Rounds Per Second\\
-=== Countermeasure Augmentation Pods (6) ===
-Heavily modified, the preexisting mini-missile launchers in the Star Army of Yamatai's inventory have been remade to be more boxlike and with a larger ammunition capacity than its normal version. The usage of the same munitions remains, ensuring simplified logistics, and the launchers themselves retain a 60% parts commonality with standard calf mounted models, mainly electronics.
-[[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2907_countermeasure_augmentation_pods|Countermeasure Augmentation Pods]]\\
-**Location:** Strategic Hull Points\\
-**Purpose:** Defensive Countermeasure Systems\\
-**Damage:** None\\
-**Range:** 80 KM/50 Miles, Atmosphere\\
-**Rate of Fire:** Individual, Salvo\\
-**Ammunition:** 25 Mini-Missiles (Each)\\
-==== Optional Weapon(s) ====
-=== 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.
-[[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2907_countermeasure_augmentation_pods|Countermeasure Augmentation Pods]]\\
-**Location:** Hull Roof, Rear Left\\
-**Purpose:** Multi-Spectrum Illumination\\
-**Damage:** None\\
-**Range:** 80 KM/50 Miles, Atmosphere\\
-**Rate of Fire:** Individual\\
-**Ammunition:** 25 Mini-Missiles\\
-=== 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.
-[[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2907_countermeasure_augmentation_pods|Countermeasure Augmentation Pods]]\\
-**Location:** Hull Roof, Rear Right\\
-**Purpose:** Multi-Spectrum Illumination\\
-**Damage:** None\\
-**Range:** 80 KM/50 Miles, Atmosphere\\
-**Rate of Fire:** Individual\\
-**Ammunition:** 25 Mini-Missiles\\
-===== Vehicle Systems =====
-==== Hull and Armor ====
-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. 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.
-Meanwhile, armor itself consists of  [[materials:yama_dura]] plates laminated with 5mm of [[materials: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.
-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, and ease of transport.
-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, partially taking on the rough form of the vehicle itself with roughly 10in/25cm between the inner edge of the field and the hull of the vehicle on average.
-=== 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 'flush' mode where it goes into overdrive, rapidly blowing out contaminated air and replacing it with uncontaminated atmosphere to decontaminate the interior. In addition, the system can seal itself against the vacuum of space, and re-pressurize the cabin up to 4 times off its own air supply.
-=== 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's high top speed, and also allows it to function on the surfaces of ships and space stations.
-=== 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:origin:high_output_nuclear_energy#burst|BURSTs]] supplies all the electrical power the Type 34 AGPC needs in order to function, providing power for the motors, computer systems and sensors. For convenience of those inside the vehicle, there are several electrical outlets available for use located throughout the interior.
-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's [[stararmy:equipment:daisy_m6_infantry_power_armor#miscellaneous_systems|Heavy Fusion Thruster Pack]] as well as the power systems from the [[:stararmy:tasha_m9_team_autonomous_support_heavy_armor#power_systems|M9 TASHA]]. These are easily removed and interchangeable with the reactors found standard in the vehicle, promoting parts commonality. However, the Daisy I's reactors are anemic in power output even when put into the binary configuration together, and most often result in a 35% reduction in top speed, acceleration, and shield regeneration when the BURST reactors are replaced with such a pair.
-==== Electronics ====
-Though outfitted with the [[stararmy:equipment:aies]], the Type 34 utilizes several parts from the [[:stararmy:tasha_m9_team_autonomous_support_heavy_armor#electronics_and_sensors|M9 Tasha]] for its numerous electronics systems, resulting in high parts commonality between the two in regards to these systems. As with the original OI-K1-1A it was based off of, the operating system, in this case the AIES, is altered to better suit the needs of a ground vehicle.
-=== 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 'button up' with sliding armor plates, a slit will still be vulnerable. In the event that the primary sensors go down, the full 360 degree volumetric video feed to the crew will be cut, and a more limited system will activate in its place. For the commander, the combined secondary and tertiary systems consists of a ring of eight volumetric panels affixed in a floating ring over the commander's head, which acts like traditional glass periscopes in a cupola. This ring of periscope panels may be grasped and pulled down to head level, and will return to position upon being given a nudge upwards.
-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's three view panels behind the head are located forward and above, acting as rear view mirrors - in typical operation of the backup systems, the driver leaves these 'volumetric periscopes' lowered. Should these fail, the usage of wired goggles would be necessary.
-=== Targeting and Fire Control ===
-The Targeting and Fire Control of the Type 34s are improved upon from their predecessors, and can track up to 24 targets with detailed information such as heading, velocity, type and energy signatures. An additional 50 targets or objects of interest can be tracked with IFF alongside position and orientation. The AIES also provides excellent fire control for the weapons mounted, allowing them to be used to their fullest by compensating for atmospheric density, gravitational pull of the planet, rotation of the planet, the air's humidity, wind heading and so on.
-=== 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's surface. Thanks to the TASHA's components however, the Type 34s now all boast loudspeakers which complement their preexisting audio sensor systems.
-==== Parts Commonality ====
-//See: [[stararmy:vehicles:type_34_ground_vehicle_common_compoments]]//
-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:equipment:ke-m2-2_series_mindy_armor|Mindy 2]], [[stararmy:equipment:daisy_m6_infantry_power_armor|Daisy I]], [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m6-2a_daisy_power_armor|Daisy II]] and [[:stararmy:tasha_m9_team_autonomous_support_heavy_armor]].
-This wide parts commonality and/or compatibility greatly reduces strain on logistics as well as overall repair costs.
