Armored Personnel Carriers are among the least complex and sturdiest vehicles available, produced in the thousands across human inhabited space. Since a communicator is the fanciest piece of equipment they carry, they do not require any special gear to repair.<ref name=TRO3026>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 8-9, "APC Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3026R>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', pp. 12-13, "APC Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3039/> Each of the three basic types of APCs has its own individual function on the battlefield. When compared to their [[Tracked APC|Tracked]] or [[Wheeled APC|Wheeled]] counterparts, '''Hover APC'''s sacrifice armor protection for speed. While they are restricted to travel on flat open terrain such as deserts and snow plains, they are the vehicle of choice for any commander who wants his units to respond rapidly.<ref name=TRO3026/><ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/> ==Weapons and Equipment== APCs are not fighting vehicles, for their main function is to transport infantry squads from one battle to another. The "standard" hover APC carries two [[Machine Gun]]s, but these are carried usually only for defense against other infantry units.<ref name=TRO3026/><ref name=TRO3026R/><ref name=TRO3039/> ==Variants== There are many popular variants of Armored Personnel Carriers. The most popular mount more weapons, such as machine guns, at the expense of carried troops. Quite often these vehicles no longer carry troops, and are used purely for infantry support.<ref name=TRO3026/><ref name=TRO3026R/> *;Primitive : Early (circa [[2390]]) versions of the Hover APC used a half ton of [[Commercial Armor]] to provide protection.
