FSC Mark I Branwen

"Those Wildcats are arguably more dangerous but that doesn't mean those IFVs haven't got their place. They're faster and more resilient in urbanised terrain and absolutely wreck infantry while beating off tanks. Lost some good men to them..."

The FSC Mark I Branwen, also known as the Runabout, is a fast and manoeuvrable infantry fighting vehicle utilised by the Free Commonwealth of Falkirk. The Branwen is designed as an armoured personnel carrier that could carry a squad of fully-equipped soldiers without the vulnerability exhibited by dedicated APCs. It is also envisioned as being able to support them with heavy firepower and armour, becoming a credible threat even to tanks.

The Branwen was first introduced in as a rival to the more numerous FAV Mark I Wildcat, it would not find much major success in the military until the Falkirian War for Independence. Instead, the Branwen would find success within civilian law enforcement groups, where it became a favourite because of it's speed and modularity. It would be deployed in frontline raiding forces, where it would smash through the walls of  and flood the interior with troops. However, as the numbers of Wildcats depleted, the Branwen is called in to supplement them and their successors. Unfortunately, it would be discovered their low frame was highly vulnerable to mines, and as such they were redeployed into the Falkirian cities where they could be supported by nearby fortifications.
