==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Turhan''' was first built for the [[Terran Hegemony]] in [[2530]] by [[Dieron]]'s [[Buhallin Military Products]]. The company, known for its wheeled vehicles, built the Turhan to answer the HAF's need for an urban assault vehicle to support its infantry in urban environments. The vehicle acted as an Armored Personnel Carrier, deploying troops from its large infantry transport bay.<ref name=TRO3075>''Technical Readout: 3075'', pp. 172-173, "Turhan Profile"</ref>

The Turhan's first test was on [[Terra]] in [[2549]]. The vehicle was sent into Geneva where elements of the [[51st Dragoon Regiment|51st Dragoons Regiment]] had seized the city during what would later be called the "September Revolt". [[Director-General]] [[Ian Cameron]] dispatched Turhans into the tight and narrow streets of Geneva where it ferried troops in and out with ease during the rebels' infighting.<ref name=TRO3075/>

The Turhan went on to serve the SLDF for centuries. Despite its only factory on Dieron being destroyed in [[2776]], many of its number were found in [[ComStar]]'s warehouses for future use. Some of these vehicles traveled with General Kerensky's [[Operation Exodus|Exodus Fleet]].<ref name=TRO3075/>

After the fall of the [[Star League]], the Turhan became invaluable to ComStar's [[Combined Arms|combined-arms]] philosophy.  Many of these vehicles were lost during the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]], but had performed well. Its success ensured it was amongst the designs used to help bring back ComStar's strength.  However, many of these vehicles subsequently fell into the [[Word of Blake|Word of Blake's]] control.<ref name=TRO3075/>

The Turhan's primary weaponry was its twin Amdecker 300 large lasers which were mounted in its turret. Mounted with the lasers were a pair of Ramsey-65 Machine Guns.<ref name=TRO3075/>

*; Original : The original version of the Turhan produced between 2530 and [[2582]] was identical to the later production variant except for the armor used.

*; C3 : The "C3" was a [[Jihad era]] variant produced by the [[Draconis Combine]]'s Pesht Motors. This variant was powered by an [[XL fusion engine]].  "C3" moves one of the Machine Guns to the front of the vehicle, while the remaining one was exchanged for an [[AMS|Anti-Missile System]] in the turret. The Infantry Compartment was reduced to 4 tons to make room for a [[C3 master computer]] to allow it to serve as a command vehicle.
