================================================================================================
Overview:
The 2485 successor to the USA's M2 Bradley, primarily used by the Terran Hegemony (when it
was extant), Federated Suns, and Free Worlds League but found spherewide thanks to
Quikscell. Stigma still follows the design, not helped by the Autocannon having feed issues
on occasion, but its ease of maintenance and abundance of spare parts ensures it never goes
away.
Capabilities:
DESIGN QUIRKS: Bad Reputation (1), Easy to Maintain, Improved Targeting (Long), Ubiquitous,
Ammunition Feed Problem (AC/2)
