APC (Dragonstar)
 |
The Badger is the primary Armored Personnel Carrier used by the Imperial Marine Corps. It is designed to be transported and deployed by Dropship, and is generally a superior vehicle compared to the APCs used by the Legions.
The Badger has two weapons - a double laser cannon in a rear (360°) turret and a laser minigun in a front (180°) turret. In addition, there are four firing ports on each side and two to the rear, through which the crew can fire personal weapons while receiving 90% cover. These gun ports are normally closed.
This vehice seats 8 troops at full capacity. Sometimes passenger seating is taken out in favor of additional cargo. It also has a command position, from which a commander can monitor the tactical situation. The Badger can be pressurized to operate in a vacuum or to keep out toxic substances, but lacks an airlock and must be depressurized if the gun ports are to open or personel are to exit the vehicle in a vacuum. It is standard procedure to suit up and depressurize the vehicle in vacuum combat operations, to avoid the risk of explosive decompression.
The Badger has a meager cargo capacity, and most of this space is dedicated to specific cargo. See APC Cargo. Once this space is taken into account, only 1,000 lb. of cargo space remains.
