==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Indra Infantry Transport''' excels at its role as a personnel carrier with three tons of cargo space. It can deliver its payload to the battlefield swiftly with a top speed of 86 km/h, though it is not as fast as some other transports. It compensates for that with five tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor that keeps its crew safe from even the most damaging weapons in the [[Clan]] arsenal. The members of the scientist caste who engineered the Indra tried to keep its motive systems safe by using [[HarJel]] to repair small tears in the tires. Though this is ineffective against most anti-vehicle weapons, it keeps the tires inflated against the hazards of the road.

The Indra takes its name from the Hindu god of weather and war, who wields a lightning bolt as if it were a bow and arrow. This name likely comes from the Type 22 [[ER PPC]] mounted on the front of the [[combat vehicle]]. The manmade lightning bolt is capable of inflicting heavy damage to enemies in its way, enabling the Indra's crew to clear a path. It also has a turret with four Series IX [[machine gun]]s that serve to support its own [[infantry]] forces in battle against enemy infantry. The quad mount also proves effective against opposing vehicles.

*; Indra Infantry Transport (BA) : This [[Jihad]] variant of the Indra was revised & updated for its mission of transporting Battle Armor. Its vehicle Infantry Bay was expanded to 5 tons. The vehicle's original weaponry was completely replaced. It now has a front-mounted [[plasma cannon]] with 20 rounds.  For infantry protection, the vehicle was outfitted with a quad of [[AP Gauss Rifle|AP Gauss rifles]] mounted on a turret and 80 rounds of ammunition were stored in the vehicle's main body. For protection to the rear, the vehicle was given a single [[B-pod]].  To improve the vehicle's sensors, a [[light active probe]] was added.
