SETDEF-ATV

The SETDEF-ATV, short for Settlement Defence Frontier All-Terrain Vehicle, is a versatile ground transportation vehicle designed to meet the unique requirements of the Settlement Defence Frontier's ground forces. This heavily armoured vehicle serves as a critical link in the SDF's ground combat strategy, primarily focused on troop deployment and protection.
== Design ==
At its core, the SETDEF-ATV functions as an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC), boasting a robust composite armour construction that shields troops from various threats on the battlefield. Its reinforced body is designed to withstand small arms fire, explosives, and even light anti-vehicle munitions. This level of protection ensures that SDF legionnaires are delivered to their destinations as safely as possible.

=== General ===
*The SETDEF-ATV's in-wheel meters results in its distinct appearance of the tires sticking out from its fenders.
*Originally built as a multi-role vehicle capable of withstanding severe punishment while keeping its occupants alive, the SETDEF-ATV's durability, speed, capacity, and dependability made it ideal for military applications.
*The SETDEF-ATV's distinctive appearance, with its external wheels protruding from the fenders, often earns it the nickname "Roller" among SDF legionnaires. This nickname reflects its unique design, which prioritizes functionality and practicality over aesthetic considerations.
*To compensate for its lack of integrated weaponry, SDF legionnaires often refer to the SETDEF-ATV as a "big metal taxi." While it may not have the offensive capabilities of some other military vehicles, its primary role as a troop carrier remains vital to the SDF's ground operations.
*The vehicle's size, especially when compared to conventional APCs from Nexonian standards, can be a subject of debate and even criticism among military experts and enthusiasts. However, the SDF values the SETDEF-ATV for its ability to withstand hostile environments and deliver troops safely to their destinations, prioritizing practicality over traditional design norms.
*It has one major flaw: The lack of integrated weapons or a turret, which forces one soldier to use the top hatch to act as an impromptu turret. However, modifications can permit the use of turrets or automated machine gun.
**One saw a central mounted machine gun used against an MR-C.
*It is considered to be too wide and large compared to conventional APCs.
