Tempian Armed Forces Equipment

A list of the military hardware utilised by Tempia. **This list is not complete.**

### Army Equipment:

#### Ma 114 Vervette:

Tempian amphibious light tank/IFV designed and produced locally for Tempian mechanised and marine brigades (that is, the dedicated marine units; virtually all Tempian units have some level of training in amphibious operations) and the armoured corp. Like the Ma 125 Ketti, the Vervette offers exceptional cross country mobility, especially in marshy or aquatic environments albeit it trades some speed for increased protection from hostile fire. Armament wise, it carries the same turret as the Ketti although a modernisation program has seen it now equipped with a 35 mm autocannon as opposed to the smaller 30 mm (it was decided to upgrade the Vervette's over the Ketti's since the lesser numbers of the former would require a lower budget and the Vervette was also figured to be more likely to operate in high intensity combat situations, hence more requiring of the increased firepower). Like the Ketti, the turret is fully stabilised to allow precision accuracy while on the move. Otherwise it has the same complement of machine guns and or grenade launchers and anti tank guided missiles. Variants include a SPAAG, an armoured command post, armed reconnaissance, light tank with 80 mm high velocity gun and a self propelled mortar.

#### Ma 125 Ketti:

Eight-wheeled Tempian armoured car capable transporting and providing fire support for a single infantry section. Fully amphibious and NBCR protected. Forms the backbone of Tempian motorised brigades which in turn form the majority of Tempian ground forces. The Ketti offers exceptional mobility to infantry units, particularly in marshy and aquatic environments. For fire support it is equipped with a fully stabilised 30 mm autocannon and a pair of anti tank guided missile launchers mounted on either side of the turret, giving it the capability to engage enemy heavy armour in a pinch. Machine guns and an optional grenade launcher provide anti-infantry capability. Variants include mobile command post vehicle, armed reconnaissance, dedicated ATGM platform with increased missile stocks and idealised launch system, mobile gun platform mounting a 80 mm high velocity gun in an upgraded turret, battlefield ambulance and armoured recovery.

#### Netti CVR(T):

This 'child tank' was developed by the Tempian Army for its paratrooper and rapid insertion brigades to provide those otherwise light infantry units with the ability to rapidly strike against enemy armour and fortifications from range. The Netti CVR(T) (combat vehicle reconnaissance tracked) is one of the lightest 'armoured' vehicles utilised by the Tempian Army and can be carried by most medium utility helicopters and all military cargo aircraft from which it can be inserted directly into combat zones by parachute alongside the infantry it will support. It has good speed and agility over rough terrain and is light enough to be operate effectively in soft ground such as mud and swamps without becoming bogged as frequently as a standard MBT or IFV would. The Netti's armour is rated against anti-personnel weapons and shell fragments and the vehicle provides NBCR protection for its crew. Typically its armament features an auto-cannon for engaging light vehicles and low flying aerial targets, and ATGMs for engaging armour and fortifications, supported by light machine guns (for infantry) but variants can fulfill a variety of functions from mortar and SAM carriers to battlefield ambulances. The Netti is also amphibious and able to traverse aquatic terrain with minimal preparation. A reconnaissance variant of the Netti with advanced opticals and target identification technology has been used by mainline mechanised and armoured brigades of the Tempian Army.

### Warships:

#### Amatta Class Guided Missile Destroyer:

Old workhorses of the Tempian navy, now upgraded and refitted with modern weapons and systems to extend their operational life into the new decade. The Amatta is equipped primarily to engage other ships, submarines, shore targets and low flying aircraft. It can also serve as a launch platform for short range nuclear missiles.

### Aircraft:

#### Ta 241 Senain:

'Loyal wingman' stealth UAV built by Tana Electric for the Tempian Airforce. The Ta 241 provides defense and reconnaissance for its parent aircraft and may also carry out air to air and air to ground strikes. A modular nose allows for a quick interchange of loadouts between missions.

#### Ta 31 Vulgette:

Hybrid attack helicopter built by Tana Electric for the Tempian army and navy. Carries a wide range of air to ground, air to air and anti radiation missiles, rockets and targeting pods as well as an autocannon and nose mounted minigun or grenade launcher. The addition of wings and a push-prop afford the Ta 31 with much greater speed and agility compared to conventional helicopters operating in the same role.

#### AS550-Te:

Light military helicopter built by Braeve Avionics under license production for the Tempian military. Small, fast and agile, the AS550-Te is primarily designed for combat reconnaissance and fire-support. The vehicle pictured is armed with twin 20 mm cannons and four dual purpose missiles which can engage both armour and aircraft but a wide range of other weapons may be carried as well ranging from rocket pods to torpedoes for anti-submarine warfare with the naval variants. The passenger compartment contains room for four dismounts, typically special forces to be inserted behind enemy lines.
