Overview:
The first and oldest vehicle developed by the Holy Republic of Kothnorea as they established
themselves upon their new world, the Currus Zhàn chē (literally the word "chariot" twice,
once in Latin then Chinese), is nothing more than a glorified APC. Initially commissioned
from the Divisio Kēxué bù (Division of science division) less than an hour after its
official founding and with prototypes to be produced by the Divisio Zhìyuàn zhě
(Volunteer division), the project lasted all of one week before being split into seven
separate variants and three subsections, all of which carried a collection of ridiculous and
absurd ideas.
It took the direct involvement of the state for the project to get back on track, resulting
in the eventual completion of two finalized variants of which only one was adopted, much to
the chagrin of numerous people. Nevertheless, the finalized Currus Zhàn chē "CZC-31" has
been a staple of Kothnorean military ever since. With impressive movement rates and the
ability to be slightly useful after dropping off its infantry, they are often utilized for
rapid garrison deployment; infantry disembarking on a defensive position to then enjoy the
lightworks of half a dozen LRM-5s raining upon their enemies, usually with mixed results.
Despite lacking any glory of its own on the battlefield, the Currus Zhàn chē "CZC-31" has
nevertheless served as a badge of honor for those who worked on it, proving beyond the
shadow of a doubt that local production of combat vehicles is entirely viable despite
shortages in materials, components, research, production capacity and skilled personnel. A
fact that incentivizes the state to *not* have those shortages even to this day.

Remember those guys under review last week, the Black Shield Company I think. They were starting to incorporate ECM to mitigate missile attacks. Conpletely wasted effort against this week's losers. Its hard to tell the difference between the LRMs they claim to use and unguided rockets.
