==Description==
Originally developed at the dawn of the [[Jihad]], the '''Bulwark''' assault vehicle is a [[combat vehicle]] produced during the late [[thirty-first century]] in the [[Free Worlds League]]. The vehicle was created by Brooks Incorporated of [[Kendall]] and was designed using the latest technologies of the day. However, shortages of the vehicle's then-key weaponry kept it from entering production until [[3087]].

It would go on to service the fragmented nation-states of the League and would be bought by mercenary forces over course of the [[Early Republic Era|Republic era]] and beyond. It received an update in [[3114]] that would give it [[Technology Rating|advanced technology]] augmenting its firepower for the new century.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', pp. 20, 74: Bulwark - Background</ref>

Powered by a 340-rated Strand Extra-Light Fusion Engine, the Bulwark is not the fastest of combat vehicles.  Despite this, its top speed is still sufficient to enable it to keep pace with slower assault units. Eleven and a half tons of Durallex Special Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor provides sufficient protection to allow the Bulwark to handle heavy fire while supporting other combat units in the field.

The Bulwark's firepower is limited to two anti-vehicle/anti-[[BattleMech]] weapons which are sufficient to kill any opponent it may face.  The vehicle's primary hitting power comes from its [[Imperator Titan's Wrath]] [[Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle]] which is mounted in the front. The vehicle's fire control is noted for being highly accurate, allowing the Bulwark to hit its targets with greater regularity. Its 16 rounds of ammunition allow it to stay in the field long enough to be effective.  The vehicle's secondary weapon is its [[Fusigon Strongtooth]] [[Heavy Particle Projection Cannon]] found in the vehicle's turret.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Free Worlds League'', pp. 20–21, 74: Bulwark - Stats</ref>

*;Original : The original Bulwark was first produced 3087, with a different weapons layout due to the lack of a sufficient supply of intended weapons.  The vehicle was armed with a [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] in place of the iHGR, backed up by a standard Gauss Rifle mounted in its turret. Both weapons had sixteen rounds of ammunition and vehicle's hull was protected by [[standard armor]].
