− The '''Saxon APC''' was meant to be an update to older armored personnel carriers. With improved technologies, old-model APCs were simply too vulnerable and slow. When the [[LAAF]] put out a request for new APCs, it was [[Cyclops Incorporated]] that responded with a favorable design. The first Saxons entered service with the [[2nd Skye Guards|Second Skye Guards]] in [[3070]]. The design was so successful that Cyclops was unable to keep up with demand, so they licensed the Saxon to [[Defiance Industries]] and the [[Quikscell Company]].<ref name=TRO48>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 48</ref> + The '''Saxon APC''' is meant to be an update to older armored personnel carriers.

One of the Saxon's main advantages is its top speed of 162 km/h. This enables it to quickly get in and out of hot spots. A five-ton [[infantry bay]] allows the APC to carry a platoon of unarmored [[infantry]] or a squad of [[battle armor]]. Nine tons of armor gives it a toughness matched by few light vehicles and protects the [[infantry]] inside as well as the Saxon itself.<ref name=TRO>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 48-49</ref> One of the Saxon's main advantages is its top speed of 162 km/h.
