Description

The Turhan was 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 it infantry in urban environments. The vehicle acts as an Armored Personnel Carrier, deploying troops from its large infantry transport bay.

After the fall of the Star League, the Turhan became invaluable to Comstar's combine-arms philosophy. Many of these vehicles were lost during Battle of Tukayyid, but had performed well. It success ensured it was among designs used to help bring back ComStar's strength. However, many of these vehicles fell into Word of Blake's control.

With recovery of the Hegemony Memory Core, Pesht Motors of Unity begun producing the Truhan once again by 3075.

Armament

The Turhan's principle 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.

The vehicle had a 5 ton Infantry Compartment, which allowed for troops and some supplies to be transported into conflict zones.

The vehicle is protected by 7seven and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, which ensured its cargo arrived at the designation intact.

Variants

  • C3 - The "C3" was a Jihad era variant produced by 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 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 command vehicle. Total Cost = 5,561,875 C-Bills, BV (2.0) = 709[1]
