FoP Brut AFV
The Brut is a tracked, multi-purpose light Armored Fighting Vehicle used by the Federation Marines and allied militias.
Crew: 2 (Driver, Commander) plus 6 dismounts
Armor: All around durasteel
Main armament: GPMG
While classified as an armored vehicle, the Brut offers little protection to most modern weaponry, providing only a thin steel shell to defend against small arms and shrapnel from indirect fire. In its initial configuration, the Brut was armed only with a lightweight general-purpose machine gun (GPMG) for self-defense and was intended for logistical roles, towing stationary artillery or carrying supplies across terrain unsuited for wheeled vehicles. It was thus designed for handling and light weight, rather than significant offensive ability. Still, the Federation Marines will never shy from an inexpensive, highly mobile platform. As such, the Brut has seen significant use across nearly every theater of operation, even rivaling the ubiquitous Ogar logistical trucks.
The Brut is available in two configurations sharing a common chassis. The first is standard with a troop/supply bay in the rear of the vehicle, with removable escape hatches on the roof. The second is a weapons carrier, with a reinforced roof and frame capable of supporting various attack roles, such as ATGM or anti-aircraft systems.

The Brut is based on the real-world MT-LB, especially Skooby C's awesome rendition.
