In the mid 1990's, the M113 was starting to show its age and Canadian defence firms began to develop a modern APC. Due to the fall of the Berlin wall, the project was cancelled. Following the fall of Canada, and the eventual rise of the Empire, the project was brought out of the dustbin to be the face of the new legions armoured and mechanized forces. Here it can be seen in its initial, factory form.
