Background:

In the early 80s, the Government under Generalissimus Bahk found that it lacked a side-arm with sufficiant power and quality to function on the modern battlefield. Their attempts to issue the MP-1 as a side-arm had merely resulted in a severe increase in accidental dicharges and civilian deaths, whilst it's lack of penetrating power meant it couldn't engage targets wearing light body-armour. In response, they began a system to find and adopt an effective pistol: the M1911, M9, Makarov and Glock 17 were all evaluated and discarded. Eventually they turned to the Kouralian National Armouries experimental 'SLP' design which, after numerous trials, was adopted. The pistol replaced the internally produced Webley-Fosbery clone in service with special forces units in 1985, with most line units in 1986, with the whole military by 1987, and by all armed branches of government in 1990; since then it has remained in use, in the .45ACP calibre, and proven to be a trustworthy and dependable weapon.

In 2000, the Kouralian National Armouries released a heavily modified version called the 'Century Special'. This came in two styles, 'Dagger 9mm' or 'Sword .45', and was a heavily modified standard version. It featured gold and silver plating externals, see-through polymers in certain places, strengthened and higher quality internals and a lengthened barrel.

Since the first adoption of a Pistol-Calibre Automatic Carbine, or Submachine Gun in the mid-1910s, Kouralia's arsenals and armouries have churned out design upon design of comparable role and purpose, working across the last century to perfect this tool. A full hundred years after the adoption of the first fully-automatic Pistol into the Corps of the Royal Engineers and the Royal Regiment of Artillery in 1914, the successor of the Kouralian Royal Arsenal, KAE SYSTEMS, brings you the sixth, and now-unrecognisable improvement upon the concept of the Mechanical Pistol-carbine - the MP-6 Eagle.

Developed in the late 20th Century, the MP-6 was the result of a programme to replace the MP-5 sub-machine gun used by a range of Kouralian Police, Army Combat Support Arms, Navy Force Protection Details and Air Force Security Teams. The earlier weapon had finally become somewhat inflexible and was over-heavy, less accurate and less reliable compared to a range of comparable foreign systems. The MP-6 uses a reliable blowback closed bolt action, similar to the M12 Beretta and MP-5 Heckler and Koch SMGs. The weapon is designed to be easily modified for the preferences of the user, accepting rounds from 0.3 to 0.45 of an inch in calibre, and with options of 18-cm or 38cm barrels, different styles of handguard, folding or fixed stocks, wooden or polymer furniture, and even rails or PCAPs.

In the event of adverse conditions, the select-fire weapon's gas block can be swapped from Regular operation to Increased Pressure, allowing more gas into the system and giving it more ability to work the bolt against friction caused by extensive firing.



Pricing Options:

Base Price:
Options:
Wooden Furniture +$200
All other changes: Free

MP-6 with 18cm barrel - $950
MP-6 with 38cm barrel - $1,000

Calibre Changes:
Any Pistol Calibre from 7.62mm to .45 in diameter is accepted, calibre changes are free of charge.

Cange from .45ACP to another calibre = Free

Background:

In 2010, an evaluation of the MP-2 decided that the weapon was too bulky to be used by police and other 'non-line' units. The development took a while but by early January, 2012, the first of the MP-4s had left the production line and was ready being packed to go to the Ministry of Defence Police Service. Since then they have been adopted by all Police Services and numerous other Government Agencies, including the Diplomatic Corps.

The weapon functions with a short-stroke piston, with a rotating bolt. The weapon features an easy to use ambidextrous fire selector, with a bolt catch-lever mounted on the right-hand side. This is to make it easier to press with the hand which is holding the bolt to the rear. The bolt release catch is on the left and side, as is the magazine release catch and the catch to allow movement of the stock. The weapon used as standard in the Ministry of Defence Police features a red-dot sight, a collapsable stock, foregrip, folding iron sights and a 20 round magazine.

Pricing Options:
Change from 7x43mm Brit. to another calibre = Free

Background:

The 'Small Arms for 2012, Rifle 1, Advancement 2' is the official name for the standard weapons system of the Kouralian military. Also from this family is the SWS, R1A2c and LSW. This weapons system was developed to meet the coming alteration of doctrine head-on: from the long ranges of the Heavy Role Rifleman adopted during the 1990s and 2000s to a more flexible Mobile Supported Infantry doctrine. This meant the focus of combat went from long-ranged engagements by heavily armed infantry sections, to closer ranged engagements by less heavily armed infantry who were supported by CAS and Armour at a much lower level of organisation. The R1A2 was designed to replace the L63 in this endeavor. It was required to demonstrate the following features:
- Compact length
- Ability to mount Picatinny rail equipment on upper, lower and side rails
- Ability to store cleaning kit within weapons system
- Light Weight
- Chambered for cartridge between 6 and 8mm in calibre (preferably either 7mm or 7.7mm)
- Modular Concept
- Pass Reliability test #1/a through #2/dII at grade A* reliability.

Of the three systems proposed by numerous companies, only the Kouralian Armaments Engineering SYSTEMS, Small Arms for 2012, Rifle 1, Advancement 1 met all of the above criteria. With a few modifications, such as the ability to fire rifle grenades, it was relabeled the R1A2 and adoption was completed in March of 2012. Since then it has served in D'halbrisir, Lubyakan Taros Islands, Kouralia, The Hobbiest Republic Empire and Olympus Command's operations.

This rifle has the appearance of the FN-FAL combined with the appearance and function of the M14. I really like the look and the fact it is lightweight.

Add 'Samson Jr RWS' w/ MG-2 GPMG: +$90,000


Background:

The Stalwart Saracen (known at the Stalwart or Stolly to Kouralian Troops) is a 6x6 Amphibious Logistics Truck by KNA. The hull is the vehicle chassis, the engine is situated under the load deck in the rear of the hull and the gearboxes, differentials and transfer boxes forward of this. The load deck can be open-topped with large drop down panels on either side. Waterproof seals ensure that these will not leak when in the water. The three man cab has the driver's position in the centre and a seat for a passenger either side. The cab can only be entered through roof hatches. In the water it can be driven by it's propellers at around 6 knots, though it may not tow a trailer through the water.

The Stolly's impressive off-road capabilities come from the fact that the 6-wheel-drive system lacks differentials: using simple bevel gears to transmit drive. A centre mounted no-spin differential allows a certain amount of slip between the two sets of wheels on each side of the vehicle on hard surfaces. The centre no-spin unit allows the wheels on either side of the vehicle with most grip to drive when off-road. This has the effect of making the Stalwart a true 6-wheel-drive vehicle, with 3 wheels able to lock together and turn at the same speed.

The Cargo Back-piece is required to allow it to carry any form of cargo effectively, though it is possible to carry stuff without it it is not recommended. This includes a canvas top to protect the precious cargo from the elements. The Engineering Fitters back section consists of a small cabin to control the Crane, along side some additional cargo space. This crane can be used dexterously to manipulate great loads: such as pallets of artillery shells, vehicle engines or replacement artillery barrels. The Light Tanker Back-piece is capable of carrying 19m3 of liquid. FInally, the numerous box-bodies offer small office spaces for command and liaison tasks in the field. The Command Box-body in Kouralian service oftin is filled with electronics and radios to enable it to communicate with the men under it's command. The Command Box-body also has a small remote camera system to enable viewing over obstacles.

Overview and History

The Deimos is a High tech and advanced Kouralian Main Battle Tank, designed by KAE SYSTEMS to meet the changing demands of the modern Kouralian battlefield. The vehicle's design first began in 1996, as a purely hypothetical exercise into the usage of lower-calibre weapons in main battle tanks to enable more ammunition to be carried and a higher rate of fire. Over the next few years it developed using the lessons learned by other at-the-time contemporary designs until it was submitted to the FAV competition in 2010. It won the competition, beating out the Anemonian HT9AB2 and Upgraded Leopard 2AK-III. The K-III descended into obscurity and the Wyvern was adopted in limited numbers with certain Light Role Regiments, but otherwise the Deimos began the take over from the K-II. This Line-Unit deployment was initiated in 2012, and at the time of writing the make up is roughly 5% HT9A7B2, 40% 2AK-III, 55% AV-1.

Armament

The Primary armament of the Deimos MBT is the RA 5L/57 gun (Royal Arsenal (10)5mm L/57). This weapon first entered the design process in 2006 as a small-calibre weapon capable of firing specially designed GLATGMs and other munitions to accurately engage targets at long range with deadly effect. It fires high-powered shells with an effective recoil compensator mounted to ensure that minimum recoil is felt in the tank, resulting in more accurate firing and greater ability to provide quick follow-up shots. The main weapon is often used to propel the following munitions: RA M117 Advanced Gun Launched ATGM, M119 HE Shell, M120 Canister Shell, M1111 Guided Shell, M124 HEAT Round and M125 APFSDS shell. The standard load-out is the M117, M124, M1111 and M125. The M119 and M120 are deployed as specialist munitions. The M117 is capable of engaging at ranges of around 10,000m and can penetrate about 1,200mm of RHA, the others generally engage at Ranges of up to 8,000m. The M117 munition engages with top-down attacks, launching itself to around 2-300m above the target when it reaches 300m from the target. From there it plummets to impact on the weaker top-armour. The M117 uses SACLOS and IR tracking to engage its targets.

The Coaxial weapons block on this tank is modifiable, with the standard Kouralian load-out being the Royal Arsenal 30mm Auto-cannon and a chain-gun version of the standard 7mm GPMG in use with infantry forces. The 30mm cannon fires HEAT shells which are automatically loaded. It can fire in semi-automatically or fully automatically at a selectable RoF from 60-200rpm at ranges up to 4,000m. The 7mm L96A1 GPMG fires normal .280 ball ammunition, designed to effectively engage targets up to 500 metres away at a rate of fire of 550rpm.

Finally, the vehicle features a 14.5mm HMG mounted on an armoured RCWS. This weapon can fire at 600rpm to defeat targets at up to 2,500m and features an independent 360' rotation. It is operated from the commander's control station, however control can be passed to a compact loader's station if necessary. This RWS can be equipped with a low-recoil 25mm auto-cannon, a 7mm GPMG or a 40mm GMG if desired.

Defence:

The Deimos is protected by an advanced composite armour system of multiple layers, including Tier 3 Chobham armour of ceramic tiles encased within a metal matrix and bonded to a backing plate and several elastic layers. This is further enhanced by the mandatory applique armour additions which are used by every single Kouralian AV-1. These additions enable the vehicle to survive hits from many main-line weapons. For example, the vehicle's armour is damn near immune to 40mm and down cannon fire. The next layer of defence is an advanced multi-system network of Active Defence Systems. These include the AMAP-ADS Close Range Hard Kill system, smoke launchers, IR smoke launchers, and laser dazzlers to assist with protecting the vehicle against heavy munitions and guided weaponry.

Propulsion:

The AV-1 features an advanced CV-15 Diesel engine which supplies 1,600hp (25.2hp/t) to the tank. This enables it to travel across roads at 75km/h and at 65km/h across the countryside. The system is designed to be reliable, effective and easy for the driver to use, minimising the training required to familiarise oneself with the vehicle. There have been plans to test High-Yield electric motors with the vehicle, but officially the government denies any such testing.

Electronics:

The weaponry for the tank features a single main sight which is capable of calculating and aiming for all three main-axis weapons. This sight is capable of operating in low-light conditions, on the move , with input from the advanced Pegasus BatInt system, calculating range to target and with Infra-red vision modes. This enables the tank to reliably engage at long-range whatever the time or weather. The system can also use external laser designation to assist with the use of the M117 and M1111 weapons. For example, a rifleman can designate a target 6km in front of the vehicle and the tank can accept and lock on to the signal, firing from far behind the main line. The commander's station also includes the system for the roof-mounted RCWS, which features optical zooms, range finding, infra-red and low-light sighting. This system can be passed to the loader's station, enabling the commander to concentrate on other things in high-intensity situations not requiring the main gun to be loaded and fired.

Each crew member has a terminal for the tank's internal control system, which links to the Pegasus II Battlefield Intelligence network. This means that information can be reliably shared around the tank, such as the commander designating an objective and simultaneously identifying likely threat directions to the gunner, and way-points for the driver. These systems feature tough and waterproof computers, keyboards and touch screens. The commander also has access to a tactical interface system which uses USB and Digital Versatile Disks to enable quick transfer of information to the tank's central computer and allowing the commander to access information on his screen, simultaneously showing it on other screens. This allows the commander to demonstrate his battle plan to the whole platoon, similarly to the model method of The Infantry. It has the added benefit of allowing the commander to put on a DVD for the whole crew to enjoy.

The tank features an advanced armoured communications system, as a part of the whole Pegasus II network. This enables secure transmissions between crew members and to other tanks, even enabling individual commanders to talk at up to Company Level, if this is deigned necessary.

As additional amenities, the vehicle features a Boiling Vessel and small water supply to enable the crew to cook rations or make tea. The vehicle is capable of a full NBC shut-down for a length of time not to exceed 72hrs. This means the tank is also fitted with a toilet in the commander's seat to enable the crew to survive for that time without leaving the vehicle.

Overview and History

Named after a talking, extraordinarily fast horse from Greek and Kouralian Mythology, the Arion is an advanced AFV for the advanced age. Development began in 2001 during a Kouralian government programme for hypothetical multi-role platforms which could - with minimal modification be turned into different vehicles. At the time, battlefield RADAR, AAA, Mortar Carrier, IFV, APC and Tank Destroyer were considered. This programme ended in 2004, and from then the lesser known Chietan Arms began to develop the vehicle. Unfortunately the company fell into extreme financial difficulty and in early 2010 the company was joined into KAE SYSTEMS in return for 40% profits of the (now known as) AV-2 design.

The AV-2 currently consists of two tranches, Tier 1 and Tier 2. Tier 1 consists of the APC, IFV and VLATGM. Tier 2 consists of the Mortar Carrier, LOSAT and Light-Weight/Amphibious Operations Variant. The first tranche has been released and the second is expected to be internationally available in Autumn 2012. The vehicles are designed with a modular system consisting of the Shell, Hull and Heart. The Shell is the name for the armour package. The Hull is the hull which the system fits into, always the same this encompasses basic armour, the engine, driver compartment and drive systems. The the Heart may be added. The 'Heart' is a modular box consisting of pretty much everything needed to run that variant. For example, the VLATGM model features the gunner and commander compartment, FCS and missiles. Technically it could be built into a bunker as a stationary mount if it was given a power source.

Armament

The GPMGs and HMGs found on the vehicles are KAE SYSTEMS weapons firing the 7mm and 14.5mm cartridges, these weapons can fire up to 800m and 2,000m respectively with degrees of effectiveness and enable the vehicles to engage in situations where the primary weapon would be ineffective. The Main weapons of the vehicle series varies by class, but with the APC out of the way here is the IFV and VLATGM in order.

The IFV features a 40mm CTA L/70 auto cannon which can fire at approximately 180 rounds per minute. This main gun is effective out to around 6km. The weapon uses the M27 40mm HEI ammunition and the M30 40mm APFSDS ammunition to ensure it can defeat both infantry and armour at long ranges. The gunner optics, which can be completely protected with a slide hatch, are mounted coaxially to the main gun. The gunner has a thermal vision camera and laser range finder and an optronic day sight, rounded off with a vision- and a glass block. The weapon is fed continually from the magazine by an auto-loader with an open bolt. The gunner is able to select in advance which ammunition he wants, all the way up to the round he will fire with the next trigger pull.

The VLATGM features a very advanced system. The entire passenger compartment of the vehicle is fitted with large-calibre ATGMs in vertical mounts. These ATGMs are 1,520mm long and 250mm in diameter (fins not extended). Each is launched individually and targets using mmW, IIR and even optionally with external laser guidance on the terminal approach to ensure the utmost accuracy and infallibility even in the most difficult war zones. The missiles currently come in four variants: Hercules, Perseus, Achilles and Odysseus - nuclear, anti-tank, anti-infantry and sub-munitions. The nuclear missile is in extremely limited usage and was developed originally as a theoretical exercise. It has a yield of 0.08 kilotonnes and the ranges of the fireball, 20psi air-blast, thermal radiation, 4.6psi air-blast and radiation are as follows: 10m, 120m, 240m, 320m and 520m. The Anti-tank one uses a large dual-stage HEAT shaped charge to defeat even the strongest top armour of a main-battle tank or bunker. The anti-infantry one uses cluster sub-munitions to maim, wound or kill dismounted personnel within a large radius of the impact. Finally, the sub-munitions one features three sub-missiles which, mid-terminal approach split from the carrier vehicle to impact individually. This is to ensure that active protection systems can be defeated more easily, though this method does mean that each warhead packs less of a punch overall - but still enough. The ATGMs are locked to an individual target and launched from there. In the event of laser-guidance, the gunner can easily assign different missiles different frequencies and let loose immediately with his entire payload, assuming they are all aligned. This system has a range of up to around 15km, though additional systems on the Hercules missile enable 20km.

Defence:

The Armour for these vehicles is provided by a composite and optional AMAP system; the AMAP-B module is used for protection against kinetic energy threats while AMAP-SC offers protection against shaped charges. Protection class A is the basic vehicle, at 35 tonnes it is air transportable in certain vehicles. Protection class C consists of two large side panels that cover almost the whole flanks of the vehicle and act as skirts to the tracks and armor plates for most of the vehicle's roof. The side panels are a mix of composite and spaced armor. It adds about 10 tonnes to the gross weight. Originally, there was also a protection class B designed for transport by rail. However, it became obvious that class C lies within the weight and dimension limits for train/ship transportation, thus class B was scrapped. The basic armour's flanks (Class A) can resist hits from up to 14.5mm AP ammunition, one of the most powerful HMG rounds in use today. The frontal armour offers protection against medium caliber projectiles and shaped charge projectiles. In protection class C, the flanks of the Puma are up-armored to about the same level of protection as is the front, while the roof armor is able to withstand artillery or mortar bomblets.

The vehicle can them be equipped with two-stage APS, the softkill MSPS (Multi-function Self-Protection System) and the hardkill system. MSPS consists of three main elements: the sensors, consisting of laser warner and a missile warner using ultraviolet sensors, the computer, and the electronic or pyrotechnic countermeasures. When the sensors detect an incoming missile or a laser beam aimed at the vehicle, the computer activates the countermeasures. MSPS offers 360° protection with elevation up to 70° and can handle up to four threats at once. The hardkill AMAP-ADS has a modular design that can be adapted to almost every vehicle. The main elements are the sensor-countermeasure modules arranged all around the vehicle. A processor determines the type and the trajectory of the approaching target. Subsequently a countermeasure module close to the calculated impact point is activated. This countermeasure ejects "directed energy" destroying or disrupting the approaching threat so that it cannot penetrate the vehicle.

The arrangement of sensors and countermeasures provides a hemispherical protection. The overlapping sectors of the sensor-countermeasure modules enable the system to defeat multi-attacks. Due to the short reaction time of approximately 560 microseconds threats can be eliminated at ranges of approximately 10 m, not depending on the speed of the threat. Since the countermeasures create a non-fragmenting strong directed energy beam, collateral damage to nearby troops or civilians is minimized. These are important aspects in urban environment. The system can defeat shaped charges used in RPGs and ATGMs as well as kinetic energy penetrator threats and explosively formed penetrators (EFPs).

The whole vehicle is protected against heavy blast mines (up to 10 kg) and projectile charges from below while still retaining 450+ mm ground clearance. Almost all equipment within the cabin, including the seats, has no direct contact to the floor, which adds to crew and technical safety. All cabin roof hatches are of the side-slide type which make them easier to open manually, even when they are obstructed by debris. The exhaust is mixed with fresh air and vented at the rear left side. Together with a special IR-suppressing paint, this aims at reducing the thermal signature of the AFV.

Another crew safety measure is that the main fuel tanks are placed outside of the vehicle hull itself, mounted heavily armored within the running gear carriers. While this may pose a higher penetration risk to the tanks, it is unlikely that both tanks will be penetrated at the same time, enabling the vehicle to retreat to a safer position in case of a breach. There is also a collector tank within the vehicle to which acts as a reserve tank in case of a double tank breach.


Propulsion:

Traditionally, IFVs are expected to interact with MBTs on the battlefield. In reality, many IFVs are not mobile enough to keep up the pace of an MBT. The AV-2 aims to close this gap with several key technologies. Firstly, its compact, lightweight MTU Diesel engine is unusually strong. Even at the 45 t maximum weight in protection class C, it has a higher kW/t ratio than the AV-1 MBT it is supposed to supplement.

The vehicle prototypes have a six-road wheel decoupled running gear and uses a hydropneumatic suspension to improve cross-country performance while reducing crew and material stress by limiting vibrations and noise. The road wheels are symmetrical to balance out the weight evenly. The 500mm-wide steel tracks are of new construction and lighter than previous designs.

Electronics:

Each crew member has a terminal for the tank's internal control system, which links to the Pegasus II Battlefield Intelligence network. This means that information can be reliably shared around the tank, such as the commander designating an objective and simultaneously identifying likely threat directions to the gunner, and way-points for the driver. These systems feature tough and waterproof computers, keyboards and touch screens. The commander also has access to a tactical interface system which uses USB and Digital Versatile Disks to enable quick transfer of information to the tank's central computer and allowing the commander to access information on his screen, simultaneously showing it on other screens. This allows the commander to demonstrate his battle plan to the whole platoon, similarly to the model method of The Infantry. It has the added benefit of allowing the commander to put on a DVD for the whole crew to enjoy.

The tank features an advanced armoured communications system, as a part of the whole Pegasus II network. This enables secure transmissions between crew members and to other tanks, even enabling individual commanders to talk at up to Company Level, if this is deigned necessary. The driver has 3 optics, as well as an image intensifier and one display for optronic image feeds. Even the passenger cabin has a hatch and 3 vision blocks on the rear right side of the vehicle, one of them in a rotary mount. The rear cabin also has 2 electronic displays. All in all, the AV-2 has an additional five external cameras at its rear in swing-mounts for protection while not in use. Apart from the glass optic periscope view directly accessible only by the commander and gunner (but indirectly via the CCD camera), ALL optronic picture feeds can be displayed on every electronic display within the vehicle. The provisions for the rear cabin enable the passengers to be more active than previously in assisting the vehicle crew either directly through the vision blocks and hatches, or by observing one or more optronic feeds. The whole crew has access to the onboard intercom.

As additional amenities, the vehicle features a Boiling Vessel and small water supply to enable the crew to cook rations or make tea. The vehicle is capable of a full NBC shut-down for a length of time not to exceed 72hrs. This means the tank is also fitted with a toilet in the commander's seat to enable the crew to survive for that time without leaving the vehicle.

Overview and History

The Development of the Areion began in 2001, however lack of interest at the time ensured the project faded into insignificance. However, in late 2007 the Kouralian Military had expressed interest in a lighter 'Hammer' MBT to compliment the heavier Deimos 'Anvil' MBT. The Areion was put forward, in a modernised form which featured many minor upgrades and a Licensed Crookfur 123mm gun. Easily beating most contenders, the production began in January 2009, and the last unit took delivery of its vehicles in Mid-2012.

Uniquely among many Kouralian vehicles, the organisation which built it designed it to be easily able to be used by Humans and non-humans. Among those species which can be supported by modifications to crew-stations are Sapient Equines and certain types of beastlings.

Armament

The Primary Armament of the AV-3 is the G571 123mm L55 gun, License produced from the Crookfur Version. It is suitable to go toe-to-toe with other over-compensatory calibres such as 140mm, and still achieve acceptably damaging results. The main weapon is often used to propel the following munitions: M1 APFSDS, M2 HE, M3 HEAT, M4 Canister and M5 ATGM. The standard load-out is the M1, M3 and M5, with the remainder deployed as specialist munitions. The M5 is capable of engaging at ranges of around 10,000m and can penetrate about 1,200mm of RHA, the others generally engage at an extreme range of up to 8,000m. The M5 munition engages with top-down attacks from a minimum range of 1km. From there it plummets to impact on the weaker top-armour. The M5 uses SACLOS and IR tracking to engage its targets. The M1 is based on the M829A3 Penetrator used by the US Military in the year 2012. However, it has had the case and sabot increased to 123mm. It is designed to defeat many modern ERA systems through its sheer size - even when the ERA detonates, the fractured penetrator maintains enough integrity and momentum to penetrate armoured vehicles with partial efficiency.

The Coaxial weapons block on this tank is equipped with the KRA 15.5mm HMG. This weapon was chosen because it's sheer power enables it to defeat targets such as APCs and Helicopters which may normally find themselves protected from rounds even including 14.5mm Russian. However, as this round is uncommon among non-compensatory Sensibility-Peasants, the export version is offered with 12.7mm as standard.

Finally, the vehicle features a dual-weapon RCWS on the roof, in place of a Commander's Cupola weapon. Primarily this is fitted with a 40mm Grenade Machine Gun and a 7mm LMG. This can be refitted with a number of weapons, including dual 15.5mm HMGs for Air Defence or a low-recoil 25mm auto-cannon.

Defence:

The Areion is protected by an advanced Chobham-Style Composite Armour, which is enhanced in effectiveness by applique sections. This is further enhanced by the mandatory applique armour additions which are used by every single Kouralian AV-3. The Less-palatable defence layers consist of NERA systems, AMAP-ADS systems and counter-measures including Thermal and Radar Resistant paint and laser dazzlers.

Propulsion:

The AV-3 features the same advanced CV-15 Diesel engine which supplies power to the AV-1. However, this model is technically the CV-16, due to the sheer number of upgrades. This enables it to travel across roads at 78km/h and at 67km/h across the countryside. The system is designed to be easy to replace, and reliable. It's less-than-stellar yield is helped by the immense weight reductions compared to many comparable vehicles.

While the system is no more than marginally faster than the Deimos MBT and others like it, its low weight means the acceleration and cornering is exceptional: with little speed bleeding in the latter. Additionally, it is easily able to cross many bridges without the worry that they may collapse due to the extreme stresses involved in supporting 70-odd tonnes of tank.

Electronics:

The weaponry for the tank features a single main sight which is capable of calculating and aiming for all three main-axis weapons. This sight is capable of operating in low-light conditions, on the move , with input from the advanced Pegasus BatInt system, calculating range to target and with Infra-red vision modes. This enables the tank to reliably engage at long-range whatever the time or weather. The system can also use external laser designation to assist with the use of the guided munitions. For example, a rifleman can designate a target 6km in front of the vehicle and the tank can accept and lock on to the signal, firing from far behind the main line. The commander's station also includes the system for the roof-mounted RCWS, which features optical zooms, range finding, infra-red and low-light sighting. This system can be passed to the loader's station, enabling the commander to concentrate on other things in high-intensity situations not requiring the main gun to be loaded and fired.

Each crew member has a terminal for the tank's internal control system, which links to the Pegasus II Battlefield Intelligence network. This means that information can be reliably shared around the tank, such as the commander designating an objective and simultaneously identifying likely threat directions to the gunner, and way-points for the driver. These systems feature tough and waterproof computers, keyboards and touch screens. The commander also has access to a tactical interface system which uses USB and Digital Versatile Disks to enable quick transfer of information to the tank's central computer and allowing the commander to access information on his screen, simultaneously showing it on other screens. This allows the commander to demonstrate his battle plan to the whole platoon, similarly to the model method of The Infantry. It has the added benefit of allowing the commander to put on a DVD for the whole crew to enjoy.

The tank features an advanced armoured communications system, as a part of the whole Pegasus II network. This enables secure transmissions between crew members and to other tanks, even enabling individual commanders to talk at up to Company Level, if this is deigned necessary.

As additional amenities, the vehicle features a Boiling Vessel and small water supply to enable the crew to cook rations or make tea. The vehicle is capable of a full NBC shut-down for a length of time not to exceed 72hrs. This means the tank is also fitted with a toilet in the commander's seat to enable the crew to survive for that time without leaving the vehicle.

An Advanced, Modular, Rapid, Aesthetically pleasing, Protected solution to all of your logistical needs.


Since 2012 KAE SYSTEMS has been delivering high performance materiel to the Kouralian Armed Forces and other militaries, governments and private individuals world-wide. Before this, the Kouralian National Armoury and other predecessor companies had just as much success as we've done today - in fact, this lineage goes back to the Kouralian Royal Arsenal, responsible for developing Kouralia's first ever standardised musket design for the Royal Guard Regiments centuries past. With this history of excellence we feel safe to bring to you the 'Slave' Medium Logistics Vehicle and say 'this... this will get the job done.'

The Slave replaced the Kouralian 'Bedford' logistics vehicle in the early 21st Century, and has since then proved to be a reliable asset for the modern military on the intra-networked, five-dimensional 21st century nuclear battlefield. It primarily consists of five models: the 4x4 and 6x6 All-Wheel-Drive 'Regular-Cab' models, and the 4x4 and 6x6 AWD 'Forward-Cab' models. The only difference between the two is that the former adopts a more traditional placement of the engine in relation to the cab and forward axle, whereas the latter is technically mid-engined. The main difference is that the RC models are longer, but when carrying lower loads (e.g. a DROPS pallet) are more squat than FC models. Each vehicle has a 350 horsepower, 6-cylinder in-line engine, and can reach top speeds of 55mph, travelling for a total of 500 miles, unloaded, before needing to refuel. This ensures that your army can keep on the march for longer and further, and that the logistical supply train can keep up with your advance, no matter how much your commanders like to think they are the 'Ghost Division.'

While we understand the (oft-overused) maxim that 'speed is armour', you can't always outrun a bullet, so when that happens the Schiavi must have its crew protected. Ballistic Threat protection is rated to STANAG 4569 level II, or protection against (not only 7.62x51 and 5.56x45mm standard ammunition) 7.62x39mm Armour-Piercing Incendiary ammunition at 30m. It is also protected at level IIa against Blast and Mine Threats, translating to a 6kg Blast AT Mine detonated under any wheel. The Cab of the vehicle is also capable of being sealed at the press of a button to prevent contamination of the interior by biological, chemical or radiological weapons. While not carrying a large supply of oxygen, it is more than enough time to either drive through small contaminant clouds or to pull over and fully don Hazardous Environment Suits. The powered pintle mount of the vehicle is able to accept a manned turret mount of up to 40mm GMGs (all images shown with 15.5mm HMG), both protected and unprotected. However, as is common to all Kouralian Vehicles, it can accept an RCWS system that can fire Machineguns up to 14.5/15.5mm and GMGs up to 40mm, able to be reloaded from inside the vehicle and complimented with a pair of ATGMS. This weapon system is controlled by a computer station which can be installed in each of the seats in the vehicle. Additionally the interior of the vehicle has heating, air conditioning, radio, heated seats, and seats which are not in contact with the floor for additional mine protection.

The final important part of our design is the modularity of it. We didn't see fit to produce a DROPS model, then a 'cargo' then a... and so on and so forth. Instead, we ensured that no matter what it is - the cargo back piece with cloth tops, the field kitchen, the DROPS system, the Mechanic's Fitter Wagon, or even the field decontamination station - it is functionally a 'box body', that is an interchangeable back piece. traditionally box bodies are things like field toilets, or offices for commanders, however we've produced a series of backs which are able to be removed and replaced by a team of fitters with a crane and half an hour, ensuring that if you ever run a glut of one item unexpectedly you can always try to rejig your force on the fly. It also ensures that if a preferable alternative to 'x' design of box body or other system comes up, it should be easily upgradeable, rather than scrapping and replacing the whole vehicle. Among the designs we have produced are tankers, generalised missile and gun carrier systems, cargo carriers, enclosed personnel transporters, box bodies, DROPS, cranes and even trench diggers. The Cargo bay, when fitted with seats for soldiers, can transport 30 human-sized soldiers in 4x4, or 40 in 6x6. It can transport 20, or 26 in 4x4 and 6x6 respectively, with marching load stowed too.

As in centuries, no, millenia past, the 'Doorman' of a Kouralian household was a large, bulky fellow. His rippling muscles ensured that supplicants to his master wouldn't get too close, shopping trips gave little back-ache, and anyone who broke in would be knocked into next week. The Doorman Slave continues this tradition by being a well-built vehicle, capable of easily moving trailers of the largest and heaviest of cargoes. Principal among these is likely to be the Main Battle Tank - one of the most important parts of a modern war, and yet also one of the largest, weightiest, damaging to infrastructure, and generally 'most annoying to move for long distances'. A single Doorman can carry up to 90 tonnes on its trailer, whether that be 90 tonnes of tank, of water, of fuel, of plain cargo, or even 90 tonnes of TEL. The Doorman has all the features of an FC Slave.

Maximum Range - 490 miles
Top Speed - 120mph
Crew - Driver and 4 more, or Driver and 7 more for Ultra-Transports
Armour: None
Weapons: Possibility of RCWS or Pintle Mount (additional Price)

Sale Information:

Standard Unit = $50,000 Short Wheel-Base ($52,000 Long Wheel-Base)

One Unit Includes:
1x Vehicle (wheel-base chosen)

Options:
Change to Transport Version (L-WB only) = Free!
Add Ability to mount Pintle or RCWS in place of sun-roof = +$200

Background:

The UtiliVan was designed in 2005, and entered service in 2007 with the majority of Kouralian Law Enforcement Agencies. It was designed from the ground up to be able to take anything police work could throw at it - and then catch the perpetrator. The Vehicle is tested to ensure occupant safety in side-ways rams, it can pursue vehicles at high speeds, it is a 4x4 so it can continue the chase off road, it can carry as standard as many men as a normal family car, it can carry extensive amounts of equipment in the back and it can do all this cheaply. The Transport Versions enable larger units of policemen to be carried around, while the shorter wheel-base model sacrifices some of the cargo-stowage space in the boot for a shorter overall length: perfect for inner-city patrolling where space is at a minimum.

Background:

Following requests by the Intelligence and Security Agency, in 2005 the KAE SYSTEMS decided to pursue production of of a high-powered yet extraordinarily compact rifle. The MP-303 (Machine Pistol - 303) was the end result of this quest. The weapon is largely inaccurate beyond pistol ranges, however the larger rounds it fires are much more efficient at not-only penetrating body armour (like a PDW) but also at killing the person within quickly (like a full rifle). Despite the obvious problems, the weapon was adopted and it retains many parts-similarities with the L63 rifle, including the bolt and ability to feed via stripper-clips. The Rounds used by the Kouralian military also use an advanced propellant, to get the maximum amount of push in the short barrel length.

The A1 was designed for civilian usage, with an internal magazine, semi-only etc. The A2 was for military use.

Standard Unit = $205 million

One Unit Includes:
1x 'Alphonse Class' Fast Interdictor, 1x 57mm gun, 2x 12.7mm HMGs

Overview and History:

Development for what would eventually become the Alphonse Class began in early 2002 when evaluation of anti-narcotics operations revealed them to be lacking from the naval contingent. Those ships involved were usually light patrol craft armed with not much more than HMGs, or larger destroyers or frigates which proved quickly to be wholly unreliable in the circumstances. To that end, a highly modular craft was needed: one which would be able to carry vertical lift craft, launch RHIB-sized craft, engage surface targets at a minimum of 10km and retain an ultra-low radar signature.

Thus, the 'Alphonse Class', which was first adopted unofficially in late 2012, but by Spring 2013 is seeing widespread official adoption across the Kouralian Royal Navy and Royal Coastguard.

Armament:

The average Alphonse Class vessel makes use of three weapons systems. The two secondary systems are 15.5mm HMGs, which are swapped out for the more usual 12.7x99mm systems for most export models. These weapons provide close-in support for engagement of surface combatants, or for engaging close-flying aircraft. The primary system is the 6 Pounder QF rifled gun, which can engage targets at up to 17,000 meters range at 220 rounds per minute. The system uses programmable shells of varying types, such as the 'airbust' round which can have a range chosen to the nearest 5m, and which covers a roughly 50m diameter circle of the ocean with highly lethal tungsten flechettes. It typically carries 120 rounds ready, with 40 pre-stored in magazines for immediate firing. On top of this count, 1,000 are stored for loading into the ready-store. The dual-feed magazine ensures that an instantaneous round-type swap can occur, or that a magazine of 20 rounds can be retained through an engagement for a target of opportunity. This 57mm system is also capable of rapidly engaging sea-skimming Anti-Ship Missiles.

On top of these systems, the Alphonse Class is easily capable of taking three additional systems on its rear sub-deck behind the flight-deck. Typically the Kouralian Navy will mount a laser-based CIWS and two missile launchers. Unfortunately VLS systems are incompatible with this vessel due to the interior-deck.

Additional Transport:

The Alphonse Vessel has a large double rear flight deck, along with the interior-deck well. This enables the carrying of a maximum of four additional craft. The usual craft on the well-deck is a Armoured Raider RHIB which is outfitted with 15.5mm HMGs and 7mm GPMGs. Ships will usually carry a small UAV which is capable of reconnoitering targets at up to 15km range of the ship and returning safely after a period circling. This UAV can also carry guided missiles and GPMGs (with 200 rounds) on its two stubby wings. A maximum of one of either on each wing. Finally, on top of the UAV carried by most vessels, the deck can support up to two 'Wildcat' light utility helicopters or a single larger helicopter.

Propulsion:

The Vessel is propelled by powerful Combined Diesel or as Turbine engines which enable it to travel at up to 100km/h for short periods of time. However, the use of this short speed-boost for distances of longer than 100-200km is not recommended as it can damage the engine. The usual cruising speed of 40km/h is much more sensible and can be maintained for the full 8,000 km range of the vessel. If refueled, it can naturally travel for longer distances, however refueling will still not enable the craft to surpass the Maximum Speed Time-Limit.

In Service: 2012 - ?
Used By: Kouralian Royal Army
Wars: 31st Annual Demon War
Produced By: KAE SYSTEMS
Number Produced: [Classified]
General Characteristics:
Crew: 4 (Cmdr, Gnr, Ldr, Ldr)
Height: 3.4m (Truncheon)
Length: 12.4m (Truncheon)
Width: 2.65m
Weight: 17.7 tonnes (Truncheon)
Arms and Armour:
Primary Weapon: 155mm L50 gun OR 8x 8.94 Inch Rockets
Armour: STANAG 4569 Level 2 Cab
Speed: 75mph
Range: 550mi


Standard Unit = $6.4 million (Truncheon) $6.3 Million (Cudgel)


One Unit Includes:
1x Schiavi Mod-2

Overview:

As part of the family of vehicles that would become the 'Slave', it was decided that indirect fire support should be possible from the chassis. In this way it could replace the majority of the larger tracked and armoured SPGs, thus saving money and keeping the capability to rapidly deploy that is not available to the Towed Guns. The MLRS was also developed using the Box-Body system for the Slave.

The 155mm L52 main gun of the Truncheon is designed to have a minimum indirect range of 3,000m and varies in its extreme range. The standard munition can reach 39,000m while the bleed base shell can reach 50,000m. The M97 Velocity-enhanced, Long rAnge Projectile (V-LAP) has successfully been tested up to a range of 73,000m however this range has not been used in combat. The standard shell is expected to have an accuracy of 0.1% of Range in Azimuth and 0.48% of Range in over/undershoot. However, the M982-ii Excalibur round used by NATO has been tested with the Truncheon at ranges of 40,000m and can obtain accuracy of 5m from the target point. The maximum rate of fire for the Truncheon is 10 rounds per minute, and its maximum Burst speed is three rounds in fifteen seconds. The normal expected rate of fire, however, is six rounds per minute.

The Cudgel uses an easily reload-able dual four rocket system. The launcher can carry two 'Pods' of four rockets, arranged in a two by two grid, to make a four by two launcher. The Pods can either carry four M17/M16 rockets, or a single M18 Ballistic Missile. The M18 Ballistic Missile has a maximum range of 300km, while the M16 has a range of 30km and the M17 a range of 65km. The M18 usually is equipped with 950 Bomblets, or a single 500 pound warhead. The Smaller sub-rockets M16 and M17 can carry a range of payloads, such as 644 submunitions or a set of eight BONUS Kinetic Penetrator Anti-Tank Munitions. The Cudgel's system can fire two rounds over ten seconds, or all eight rockets over 28 seconds.

Either of these two systems retain communications and the ability to fire the weapon in the same vehicle, but usually in the Kouralian Army a battery of three of them will be accompanied by a Command Vehicle with Comms equipment and a pair of ammunition vehicles which are usually supplemented by even more ammunition vehicles.

Background:

The Alsatian Gunship was designed in 1980 and entered service in 1982 with the Kouralian Army Air Corps. It was based on the US S-67 Blackhawk gunship which pre-dated the Apache and was capable of carrying an inordinate amount of munitions into combat at high speed, then deploying men from its interior passenger compartment. The modern version used by the Kouralian Army is deployed on ships and from airbases to provide close air support for Kouralian Troops on operation world-wide. The Helicopter can carry an insane amount of munitions, over 150 unguided rockets, a 40mm autocannon and two Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles. The autocannon can carry up to 1,200 rounds. Inside the helicopter, up to 8 troops in combat order can be carried and disembarked in mere seconds. In addition, the needless focus on Stealth by many modern helicopters was ignored in the modernisations, preferring to focus on noise-reduction to give it an edge in Asymmetrical conflicts or otherwise, giving it an edge over some modern helicopters, but not without sacrificing its other capabilities. Certain stealth emphasis has been given on reduction of the noise created by it, so as to ensure that the helicopter produces less noise than a normal conversation at ranges greater than 500m, meaning it can often be too late to engage the helicopter before it is on the unit in question.

The Development of the AMRAP began shortly after the retirement of the Land Rover as the standard military utility vehicle of the Kouralian Light Role Elements, and finished replacing the UOR Iveco LMV in January 2013. It is intended to be an armoured, capable off-road vehicle which can take its cargo anywhere. The AMRAP comes in three primary forms for export - the ambulance, the standard transport and the heavy transport. The Standard Transport is used in all front-line or evident-threat units or deployments as a transport for men and commanding staff. The Ambulance is used by all Infantry Regiments (and, well, all Military bases/units) as an ambulance to transport the wounded on and off of the battlefield. Finally, the AMRAP Heavy is used by many units to transport key staff.

Sale Information:

Standard Unit = $10,000 Standard ($8,000 Base)($14,000 Box Body)($13,000 FFR)

One Unit Includes:
1x Vehicle

Background:

The AMRAP Forward Cab was designed simultaneously, using primarily the chassis and over-large engine of the AMRAP in order to produce a vehicle that could be used for a range of tasks, including... well, anything a light lorry might be needed for in a military - transport, personnel movement, radios, Military Police, gun tractors or even kitchens. The vehicles are barely armoured, if at all, and while they are as sturdy as most Kouralian vehicles, they are certainly lacking in a large number of the mod-cons that most will be equipped with, such as seat heaters and extensive computer systems. This is not to say they cannot take them, just that these vehicles are designed to be cheaper than most through the abnegation of them.

Sale Information:

Standard Unit = $25,000 Standard ($30,000 Police)($45,000 Security)

One Unit Includes:
1x Vehicle

Background:

The Riunione is the perfect car for the modern Kouralian, and now its available overseas too! The Civilian and police models were first designed in 2002 as part of the standard automobile market, but since then have proven to be extremely successful in all aspects of Kouralian Life. The Police model sees use as one of only two 'Official Standard' Patrol Cars for the Kouralian Constabularies, along with the Land Rover Defender. On top of that, in 2012 the company released the 'Security' model, designed for use by the Kouralian Intelligence and Security Agency among others. The 340hp V8 engine is powerful enough to accelerate the car from 0 to 60mph in 6 seconds and to a top speed of 146mph, while it can travel for roughly five hundred miles at its best mileage. The Vehicle is designed to fit comfortably on all single or multi-lane roads ('Historic Town Centre Alleyways' not withstanding), and with its exceptional handling, it can take any twists and turns thrown at you.

The Police model comes with a mesh to separate the driver and passenger from the rear compartment, along with rear doors that can be locked down from the front of the car. On top of that, it is fitted with a larger and more powerful engine and higher-range equipment such as brakes, suspension and transmission. The Police model also comes fitted with (as standard, but able to be removed and replaced with local versions) blue lights in the bull-bars, on the sides and on the roof, a radio, sirens, a weapons rack, mounting points for riot-mesh and a computer for use when confirming driver identity. The Security Model is lightly armoured, and uses top of the line brakes etc., with a more powerful engine and a redesigned body-shape. The car is bullet-proofed, to a small degree, and is equipped with blue lights on the sides, roof and bull-bars, sirens, an electronics suite for the operators and specially designed equipment storage.

Background:

The AMRAP Forward Cab proved to be such a big hit with the military, that a civilian and law enforcement version was soon in high demand. This large yet still nimble lorry sees service in many, if not all of the Kouralian Constabularies where it can be seen carrying constables to any major crime, any protest or any other major disturbance. The vehicle can also be used to transport prisoners, if necessary, and for that reason it is also used by the Kouralian Prison Service, while its general ubiquity makes it a hit with the ISA.

Background:

The Fulmine Series has, since its initial release in 1995 by the Kouralian National Arsenal, grown to become the most popular shotgun in Kouralia, seeing use with the Police, Secret Service and Military, among other government branches. The weapon is a continuation of the 'Tempesta' Shotgun by the Kouralian Royal Armouries in 1955, using an advancement that would first be seen in the SWATriplex 18 by John W. Winter in the 1970s: a dual-tube feed system. This would enable the 'Fulmine Tradizionale' (a weapon fundamentally very similar to the 'Tempesta-12/6', beyond the tube-difference and downward-ejection) to carry up to 12 rounds in the tubes, rather than the 6 of the previous generation. The way in which this would be able to revolutionise the shotgun was not lost on the designers at the (now Royal) Armouries, and after the shotgun saw great success in hunting, riot and combat forms with the Kouralian Government, Military, Police and populace, the KRA released a much more compact version in 2003 which was designed to comply with the requests by the ISA for a concealable weapon.

This new 'Piccolo' version used the same dual-tube system to create, in effect, a sawn-off shotgun which could rapidly slam-fire five rounds. The folding foregrip design was also integrated to allow greater control of the weapon despite the much more compact fore-end, and the open gutter-sights were used as opposed to the aperture sights of the Tradizionale in order to enhance its rapid use at close quarters. This weapon quickly saw adoption in a range of areas, including the Police and Military (Witness Protection, Specialist Use, Door-Breaching) and Security Services (Numerous Uses), and proved to be a very popular home and vehicle defence weapon. However, its release has been shown to be in-line with a rise in gun-crime in the South of the Nation (the weapon is illegal in the Northern Chietan Provinces), and statistical analysis of confiscated firearms from criminals has shown it to be accountable for roughly 25% of all captured - a testament to its conceal-ability and deadly effectiveness, considering that the vast majority of all firearms used by criminals tend to be select-fire or semi-automatic pistols.

In 2005 the final installment in the 'Thunderbolt' Series was released, the 'Compatto' or 'Compact' model, which takes just under a quarter off of the length of the shotgun, while retaining the 20 inch barrel and even expanding capacity to 7 rounds per tube. This model has since seen extreme success in the Kouralian Police and Military, as its reduced size (and weight, due to polymer construction) makes for a much more tactical package, which is versatile in close quarters and yet just as effective with slug (etc.) ammunition against targets at range. The inclusion of two sets of rails as standard, a heat shield and a pair of shell-holders, able to carry a full tube's worth of shotgun shells each also increases the lethality of this system which is now the standard shotgun of 90% of all Kouralian Police Constabularies, and of all branches of the Kouralian Military.

The advantages of the Fulmine are many-fold, but one of the most important is naturally the dual-tube system. Both tubes carry an equal amount of ammunition, and the user can easily swap between either tube by angling the Selector Catch (afore of the trigger guard) to either the left or the right, while pressing it in and forward will prevent both tubes from being loaded from, if specialist ammunition is desired to be loaded. If the catch is placed in the middle, however, then the shotgun will alternate from each tube - left, right, left, right. The lack of a trigger disconnect on all models means that, so long as the trigger is depressed when the fore-end is returned to the front-most position, the newly chambered round will be discharged immediately. This allows a technique known as 'slam-firing', by which an entire load of fifteen rounds (7+7+1) from the 'Compatto' can be unleashed in mere seconds, practically as fast as a gas-operated fire-arm.

Standard Unit = $4.0 million (FV180) $2.0 Million (FV360)


One Unit Includes:
1x FV180 or 1x FV360

Overview:

The FV180 and FV360 vehicles, known as 'Goedendag' and 'Breadbox', form part of the Kouralian military's recently adopted 'AS-M' program: 'Artillery System for the Millennium'. This program aimed to replace the 155mm FV74 and 105mm FV332 SPGs with a single, advanced system which would be able to offer heavy, rapidly deployable firepower at long range in support of the go-forwardability of armoured troops. Those units in service with mechanised units were to have their towed 155mm howitzers phased out with a Schiavi-based 155mm L/52 'truck-gun' to further enhance the holisticly promoted, user-based methods of net-centric formation empowerment. The towed 105mm guns of the light formations were to be retained, but with enhanced gunnery controls and an emphasis on more independence at the gun-line level, to provide a more mobile, multi-directional threat to enemy forces.

The system comes in two parts, intending to fully mechanise the process of delivering high explosive munitions to the enemy's forward positions and rear-area MSRs and ensure that Armoured Formations can conduct every aspect of their mission while buttoned up for the 48 hour battlefield day. The system consists of two vehicles, the FV180 'gun carriage' and the FV360 'resupply vehicle'. The latter is simply an armoured, tracked box, able to carry a full resupply for two different FV180 vehicles and to completely restock an FV180's magazine in five minutes. This ensures that in an NBC environment, the armoured artillery regiments can keep their barrage going for twice as long before needing to have vehicles withdraw to resupply outside of the threat of contamination. Additionally, the tracked vehicles can keep up with the SPGs and can, in theory, abandon the actual gun-line to restock themselves while the FV180s continue firing. In this manner, four FV360 vehicles per battery replaces the previous set of wheeled death trucks Medium Logistics Vehicles as the first stage in ammunition resupply.

The FV180's main feature is its 8m long, chrome-lined barrel - designed primarily to focus on the rapidity of fire more than extreme range. A single gunline can deliver twenty guided rounds to within 15 meters of a target using MRSI technology - in less than 120 seconds, from stopping driving to restarting motion. The five crew members can operate the vehicle entirely buttoned up for 48 hours without needing resupply, and the system is equipped with a RCWS to facilitate close-in defence of the Gun-Carriage from light armoured vehicles or infantry until additional troops can respond. The vehicle is protected to 14.5mm level across most arcs, but further armour can be added in a number of patterns - including specialist PSO/Low Intensity warfare equipment to protect the turret roof from incoming mortar fire, and if necessary it can fire indirectly to 3,000 meters from the vehicle, or directly to a recommended minimum distance of 300m of friendly troops - 150m from itself while completely buttoned up.

There are, as of yet, no export customers for the AS-M system, however this might just be because it's only just gone up for sale.

The Crown Viscount Personal Luxury Vehicle is at the pinnacle of Kouralian Luxury Car Technology, and it's offered today, here, now - to you.


Crown Automotive Works Ltd. was founded by Frederick Stewart Greenwood in Tinnura on the 15th of March, 1905 - a man who was later knighted for his services to industry. Since that date, Crown Automotive Works has provided Kouralia with some of the most precisely engineered, conscientiously designed and luxuriously outfitted automobiles. With this century's pedigree we bring to you the most modern iteration of our flagship range - the Viscount.

The Crown Viscount is a three-part automobile series, consisting of a regular Fastback Saloon, a Grand Tourer Fastback Coupé/Convertible and a Fastback Limousine. All of them are hand-made in our factories at Tinnura and Decaria to your specifications - as an example, there is a choice of 114 paint colours, 21 carpet colours, nine wood veneers, four metal choices, and 24 interior leather hides, as well as being able to specify a custom multi-tone colour scheme. Each of these vehicles is designed to be driven in an experience that is best describable as the pure spirit of ecstasy, and their construction reflects that.

The Powerhouse of every vehicle is a lightweight 6.75L (6,752cc) twin-turbo overhead valve V8 engine with cylinder de-activation, a direct fuel injection system and variable cam phasing to improve fuel efficiency, producing 505hp at 4,200rpm and 1,020N·m of torque at 1,750rpm. This can propel the vehicles incredibly fast for their size and design. The Cwaestor can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0.0 to 62.1 mph) in 5.1 seconds with similar, if adjusted for increased size, results from the other vehicles in the family. With the Cwaestor Convertible's roof up or for the regular Coupé it will reach a top speed of 314 kilometres per hour (195.1 mph), and with the roof down 305 kilometres per hour (189.5 mph). However, while the design has improved efficiency - fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been reduced by 18% compared with the previous iteration of Crown Automotive Work's flagship vehicle, we understand that some customers prefer an even more environmentally friendly model. For this reason, we offer biofuel engines, electric engines and even hydrogen powerpacks to further limit the carbon footprit of the consumer. The engine is mated with an 8-speed or 6-speed automatic transmission to provide the best option for all drivers. However, if desired this can be replaced with either a regular 6-speed manual transmission, or an advanced six-speed electro-hydraulically controlled semi-automatic manual tranmission. The power from this central pillar of the vehicle is put down onto the road through all four wheels to ensure that the vehicle has the absolute maximum stability and grip. Whether accelerating from a standing start or taking a hairpin turn at the limits of the driver's capabilities - you know that this vehicle will not let you down.

| An example interior of the Prefect |

The interior of each vehicle has been designed to represent both the slick speed and the exclusive integrity of the Crown marque, so that you will simply know it's a Viscount. A tinted glass sunroof for the front compartment with powered Alcantara roller blind is available in all models, while the Limousine has the added option of a large rear sunroof, to allow the passengers to, if desired, present themselves in a more visible fashion. For the driver, the front seats have 14-way electrical adjustment, including lumbar support, two memory positions, easy entry/exit function and adjustable heating. 4-zone air conditioning including additional rear cabin air conditioning unit with front and rear controls for fan speed and temperature, presented through traditional, polished stainless steel bullseye air vents and organ stop controls. There is a 4-spoke, hide-trimmed, multi-function steering wheel with electric adjustment for tilt and reach with two memory positions, easy entry function and paddleshift for the gears. There are drilled alloy sport foot pedals, gear lever finished in knurled metal-of-choice and hide, diamond quilted hide to seat facings, door and rear quarter panels; embroidered emblem of the purchaser's choice to seat facings, indented hide headlining and a specially designed fuel filler cap. On the outside, all vehicles come with 21-inch chrome alloy wheels with bespoke tyres and widened exhaust pipes - with interior-operable flaps to decrease the audible noise as desired.

The hood ornament of the Flying Crown on each vehicle is able to be removed as an option. If retained, it stands at ~5 inches tall and is mounted on a spring-loaded mechanism designed to retract instantly into the radiator shell for safety if struck from any direction. There is a button within the vehicle which can raise/lower the emblem when pressed. The emblem is traditionally in the same metal as the rest of the exterior ornamentation (as standard, stainless steel), however it is also offered in one notable addition to the standard metals - an illuminated crystal design. The ornamentation is also customisable on request - all hood ornaments are designed within certain dimensions to ensure that they can be removed and interchanged with any other ornament. For example, the Kouralian Crown uses vehicles with a hood ornament of a Dragoon Guardsman riding a winged horse, brandishing his blade as if in a charge. An additional option is a mount on the vehicle's roof for an illuminated crest and a pennant, which can be inserted from inside the vehicle. The Imperator Limousine is equipped with broad coach doors that open to the rear almost 90 degrees in order to facilitate easier in- and egress by the rear passengers.

In addition to the smooth traditional comfort, we have seamlessly integrated technology in our vehicles to further improve your experience. The 'Prefect' includes 2 electric-powered, foldable wood veneer picnic tables in the rear cabin, each with wireless bluetooth-capable keyboards contained below a flip up cover (allowing it to be used both as a keyboard and a table); space for a compact desktop computer within the boot compartment, roof console with 15.6 in (40 cm) High Definition LED dropdown monitor, illuminated rear centre console fitted with twin individual armrests, rear console with multimedia interface control panel, two cupholders, tissue box and large stowage area; The Multi Media Interface controls (Rear Seat Entertainment (RSE) and audio system, Media Centre, MP3 and access to internet), 2 USB connectors provided for the computer system and one multi-role interface connector for the MP3, bespoke control keys on rear console operate picnic tables, reading lights, control HD LED screen and select video and audio options; Armrest with a provided high quality fountain pen and secure telephone handset, bespoke bottle cooler in rear centre console with illuminated double-glazed frosted glass door with space for two full-size Champagne bottles in a canted position and three hand‑blown and hand-cut lead crystal champagne flutes with white LED accent lighting, additional multi-directional reading lights provided for each rear passenger and can be operated with Multimedia Interface devices, mood lighting in the rear centre console (using multiple soft glowing LEDs), illuminated MP3 docking station and cup holders. We also include rear cabin privacy curtains in Black or Ivory, a Wi-Fi router with a high speed Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) phone module and SIM card reader in glove box and a dedicated antenna housed in the boot lid outside of the vehicle's steel frame. The Driver's station also includes an FLIR/NV camera watching the road ahead and behind, along with the usual plethora of parking sensors, handling altering computers, collision alert systems etc.

One of the Viscount Hyld Imperators used by the Kouralian Crown



Here at Crown Automotive Works, we understand that to get to the top, one will often make enemies. In order to safeguard oneself, the protection cannot simply stop at the doors of one's home - it must persist throughout your daily life. For that reason we release the 'Hyld' model upgrade for the Crown Viscount series of vehicles. A Viscount Hyld comes with a number of alterations designed to ensure the safety of those conveyed within it:
  • 15mm Explosive-Resistant Steel Plate on the bottom, able to resist ~15kg of explosives under any wheel.
  • Titanium and Kevlar-lined Cabins able to resist small-arms fire and light armour-piercing weaponry.
  • Bullet-resistant polycarbonate toughened glass in all windows.
  • Gun-ports to enable a security detail to return fire without compromising the 360 degree security profile of the vehicle.
  • Kevlar-reinforced, run-flat tyres.
  • Sealing of interior environment in the event of CBRN attack.
  • Independent, self-contained oxygen supply.
These additions to the vehicles add a rough one-inch to the vehicle's dimensions in all directions. The significant weight addition results in decreased handling characteristics, for example the 0-60 time of the Prefect rises from a nippy 5.5 seconds to 9.4 seconds. The engine is, however, larger to compensate - all models are fitted with a 8.25L TT V8. This ensures that the top speeds remain at a comfortable level, for example the Imperator can reach 130mph (only a 10mph reduction), while the other vehicles in the series remain roughly in-line with that. Crown Automotive Works does not offer the Convertible Cwaestor in the 'Hyld' model due to the inherent unsuitability of a convertible to CBRN-sealing and armouring of the upper-shell of the cabin.
