Early in 2208, the Martian Federation High Command realized that they would need a new vehicle, an IFV able to keep pace with the new Abdiel hover tank. After 2 years of research, they approached Ares Arms with their design proposal, as well as their intended budget. To meet that budget, Ares had to scrap much of the original design, including the railgun and the anti-missile system.
The resulting vehicle., the Abjuror, was still fairly capable, sporting two turrets, for-and-aft, each mounting a 30mm chaingun and a single-shot Hellstorm missile launcher.
The Abjuror entered service with front-line Federation Army units in September of 2211.
User Comments: Ober-Sergeant Paul der Horst
"The Abjuror is a little small, when ya got yer nine troops in full kit all jammed in. But it can carry the full squad, three fire teams, and all their heavy weapons and equipment. And when yer up against them Rep heretics, with their big guns and sand-cloaks, you want all the firepower you can get." "The 30 milli-mike guns are even effective against those damned Sand-Stalkers, and the Hellstorm can knock one o' their so-called supertanks, them Hellwind bastards. Or. At least, that's what the brass say. On the line, before those fuckin' Jovs nuked Kurtzenheim, we faced Sand-Satlkers and Hellwinds. Hellstorms couldn't track the tanks, and more often than not, the 30's couldn't punch the new Stalkers the tanks carried. But we held the line, and they passed us by." "My wife and daughter were in Kurtzenheim, and my parents were on the Elevator. The Republic is gonna pay. In blood."
