Qalea APC

Atlantis needs a seriously updated APT design for the modern age, especially in light of both constant attack by the wildlife and the increasing threats from the dark cosmos. Said design must have a dedicated set of GAOT dual microfusion reactors (like the Crucio Siege Tank), integrated GAOT energy shields, robust antigrav systems to traverse environmental and terrain obstacles at high speeds, be capable of transporting at least 20 Power Armor-equipped soldiers at a time, while also providing for carrying medical gear, comms, ammunition reserves, etc, all the elements two squads of infantry would need (slaved recon drones wouldn't hurt either). It must also possess a relatively low height profile, to reduce people being tempted to shoot at it. Selica has something in mind, integrating several of the STCs and technologies discovered thus far to create a true monster on the battlefield.

Selica was nearly unable to pull this project off, finding difficulties integrating all the widely varies systems needed for the APCs to work but thanks to help from some GAOT engineers she was able to truimph in the end. Unfortunately the APCs won’t be able to mass produced quick enough to aid in the war.

The Qalea APT design, successfully completed by Selica just prior to the Crusade fleet’s arrival, is a beast of a vehicle. With dual microfusion reactors like the Crucio Siege Tank, energy shields, and antigrav systems like the Scorpio’s to traverse terrain obstacles, the Qalea’s cavernous interior can transport 20 Power Armor-equipped soldiers at a time, while providing for medical gear, comms, ammunition reserves, etc, as well as aerial recon drones for battlefield intel. Such functionality is leaps and bounds over Land Raiders and other transports utilized currently; mass production and replacement of all prior APT designs is to commence immediately.

## Qalea Museaf APC

The Qalea is one of Selica’s proudest achievements, providing a support and transport vehicle of immense power and flexibility to Auxilia forces, and possibly PDF in the future. Having developed many of its custom systems from scratch, however, Selica already has ideas for variants which would prove frighteningly useful. Among them is the Museaf variant, which is a Qalea APT that has been heavily modified to provide a mobile medical support bay and onboard nanoforge.

Equipped with the latest in medical facilities and devices, the Museaf can provide mobile medical support in virtually any warzone on any planet Atlantis might set its sights on. The price for such enhanced medical support, however, will be a severe reduction of combat power barring a point defense suite and reinforced shields, as the majority of the Qalea’s features, even some of the armor plating, will need to be stripped to provide yet more room for medical equipment and power generation for it all. While said vulnerabilities will require mandatory escorts for protection from enemy forces, after the casualties incurred on Ansazia, Selica believes the Museaf will be a very useful addition to Atlantis’ armies regardless.

A comparatively simple upgrade/modification from existing APC models, lessons hard-won from numerous campaigns since the APC’s development are integrated into the new design, ensuring better protective capabilities. The interior capacity of the APC was half to half a squad only, but the mobile medic bay and ammo bin facilities were already considered a “tactical miracle” by the troops that have worked with the prototypes. Already these specialized APCs are being produced and distributed across the Dominion, with primary focus on upgrading the Auxilia, with future production intended for the DDF.
