Marrlan Military Equipment

[Artsy Astra]

Marrlan's armed forces use a variety of equipment, said equipment will be listed here.

    Small Arms of the Republic

The Army utilizes rifles in caliber .30-06 Rolbeck and pistols in caliber .45 HPA (Higgins Pistol Automatic) for their power and performance. Although neither are known for having large magazine capacity, they strike hard, and the service members who use them applaud both of the rounds stopping power. All republic guns, due to the circumstances of their land, are rated in CK's or Crab Kill rating. Each rating indicates how big of a crab the weapon can put down reliably. All military rifles are at minimum CK 2, with marine specialist weapons usually requiring a CK of 3. The CK Scale is as follows. CK 1 for crabs under 4 feet tall, CK 2 for crabs under 6 feet tall, CK 3 for crabs under 8 feet tall, CK 4 is for crabs 10 feet and over.

  
Imperial Service Rifle 1878/1894
A holdover from the oldest days of resistance, the ISR-78/94 is an old tsarist rifle still held in armories for emergencies and military target shooting competitions. A finicky but reliable rifle, the 78/94 Uses old .30-03 Imperial, though there is a large stock of .30-06 conversions from the overthrow and border war. It is a single shot trapdoor rifle, with a muzzle velocity of 1,300 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 1.

Imperial Service Rifle 1889/1900
The second tsarist rifle still in storage that isn't driven by cap and ball, the 89/00 is a ornate but impractical rifle. Chambered in .30-03 Imperial with some conversions floating around in .30-06 like the 78/94, it is commonly seen in training facilities when EAR's are short for whatever reason but are mainly a decoration piece in old armories. Some veterans still hold on to their old 89/00's, but most prefer the EAR. It has a muzzle velocity of 1,900 feet per second. It has no notch for clips. It is placed at a CK of 1.

Emergency Arms Rifle 1900

Marrlan's first proper service rifle the (Emergency Arms Rifle) EAR-00, a rifle made during the later half of the Independence war. Truly the grandfather of all modern Marrlan rifles, it was made over the course of 2 months by a group of Marrlan militiamen in a shed with the simple request of "A domestic rifle that works.". Pioneer of many coveted features such as the ubiquitous and classic Marrlan leaf sight, it remains a dated but relevant addition to the Marrlan Arsenal. It is mostly a ceremonial piece or issued to reservists, but will remain in some form of service as a symbol of freedom for years to come. If a veteran does not have a 1910, they will most certainly have a 1900 mounted on their wall or in their possession. Upon end of service all servicemembers are gifted a EAR-00.  The magazine is not removable and can hold 5 rounds plus 1 in the chamber, it feeds with a single 5 round EAR charger.  It has a muzzle velocity of 2,450 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 2.

  Emergency Arms Rifle 1910

The 1910 standardization of the EAR following the border war of '04 is the most prolific of all of its variants only recently beginning to slow production in 1926. The EAR platform remains a more crude but useful weapon that still finds itself in the hands of less well equipped Marrlan and Roskanan army troops, militiamen, on the walls of Independence war veterans, and occasionally democratic rebels the Marrlan government supplies. It's magazine is easier to damage and as such, it feeds itself strictly with 5 round EAR chargers as swapping mags frequently will damage them. They have a magazine capacity of 5 + 1 rounds. It's leaf sight however was a coveted feature loved by all service men and women during its heyday, allowing the rifleman to accurately reach out and touch the enemy. It has a muzzle velocity of 2,600 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 2.

 Infantry Rifle "Becky" 1925

Marrlan's and Roskanas third service rifle and forte into straight pull bolt technology. The (Infantry Rifle)IR-25 is the newest and most advanced rifle from Rolbeck Arms made by Davis Rolbeck himself. It brings back the leaf sight along with other features and improvements taken from feedback given by veterans. A more robust bayonet lug, improved magazine strength and quality, and other small edits. Though it is slightly less common among the usual rank and file, the veteran regiments of the Army have all been issued it to increase their effectiveness but they are slowly being rolled out. The charging handle is of decent quality, but the shape is not very ergonomic for a straight pull design and as such can cause some discomfort to inexperienced users. Due to the rifle's magazines being better quality, EAR chargers are less commonly issued over more spare magazines in the higher quality parts of the Army and Marines. It has a magazine capacity of 10 + 1 rounds. it has a muzzle velocity of 2,800 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Semi-Automatic Infantry Rifle 1931
In part of their rearmament effort, Marrlan High Command commissioned the creation of a new self loading rifle to further give the armed forces a leg up on the Grinvelians. It uses a toggle lock action and has a magazine capacity of 15+1 rounds. It is compatible with old IR-25 magazines and vice versa. It also has a notch that accepts EAR pattern chargers when the bolt is open. It has a muzzle velocity of 2,750 feet per second. An initial complaint so far is that the rifle does not incorporate a leaf sight as previous weapons have. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Rolbeck Chatterbox Compact Machine Gun 1934
The CCMG-34 is the first weapon of its kind in the Marrish arsenal. Feeding .45 HPA at a blistering 700RPM from a 35 round box magazine, this building and trench sweeper is made for close encounters of the most dangerous kind while only being about 33 inches long. It has a muzzle velocity of 960 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 2.

   Close Combat Weapon 1920

A classic design, the Rolbeck 100 series shotgun is a reliable and straightforward design. it is issued primarily to MP's and national guardsmen. It can always be seen in the hands of Marine shock troops. If fired to quickly, the wooden heat shield will catch on fire. It has a tube magazine capacity of 6 + 1 and fires 8 gauge shells at 1,700 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Close Combat Weapon 1934
A modernized more war oriented design, the CCW-34 combines prolific Marrish top loading shotgun style with a ground up redesign of a workhorse shotgun. Rather than a home defense weapon pressed into service for ease of use and medoicre but straightforward results, the CCW-34 builds off of the base that it left and moves forward. A top mounted loading gate means quicker reloads with the downside of it being easier for things to potentially clog it. Shells fall from a port where traditional foriegn shotguns would have a loading gate, the heatshield is proper metal and the barrel has a bayonet lug. All in all, a great improvement over the old design. It is replacing the CCW-20 in general use. 
It has a tube magazine capacity of 7 + 1 and fires 8 gauge shells at 1,900 feet per second. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Naval Anti Crab Weapon 1914
The NACW is made by and for mariners. At the request of the beast hunters, Higgins was contracted to create ammo and a weapon to more effectively content with deep sea threats. Designed specifically to fire flechette slugs in a cup sabot to counter Floor Stalkers thick shells, it is water resistant and seldom seen outside of the navy and most commonly with beast hunters. Any civilians with it are primarily more wealthy or seasoned mariners. It is semi automatic long recoil shotgun, and loads and ejects through a top mounted loading gate into a top mounted magazine tube and fires 8 gauge FS shells. The flechettes are fired at 1,500 feet per second, and it has a magazine capacity of 5 + 1. It has a tool/repair kit stored in a compartment under the barrel in a small cylindrical case. It is placed at a CK of 4.

    Naval Harpoon Gun "Higby" 1923

The Higgins Harpoon gun has been a staple weapon of the Marrlan navy, and another symbol of freedom after their prolific use during the independence war when proper rifles were short. Over the years it has received many improvements, but this militarized is the newest and most advanced. The improved design boasts a strong spring driven launching system that produces and powerful clang and thunk when fired. Even in water a muffled thunk is still heard. For use on land by Marines a leaf sight and front sight post were added after the war, which also increase their effectiveness under water allowing a proper idea of the projectiles trajectory to be gained. It fires a single muzzle loaded 8.5mm 18 inch long harpoon at 190 feet per second. This weapon is also seen among signal men in the Army, though its normally lethal harpoons are replaced with a flare for signal purposes. It is placed at a CK of 4.

Naval Harpoon Gun 1934
An update to the tried and true 'Higby' harpoon gun, the NHG-34 boats a host of QoL features. A handle to assist in pulling back a more powerful spring, improved iron sights made from field reports of beast hunter use in the UST war, a stowage for a small cleaning kit in the pistol grip, and most of all a new harpoon pattern. This new modular harpoon gave way to a new innovation and idea. "What if the harpoon launcher was used to launch other things?" As such grenades were the first and foremost choice to give the infantry more direct fire support that mortars would find hard to provide. The new harpoons feature a threaded end for attaching either a bladed point or a grenade with a threaded base adapter. While the haproons themselves are very cheap and easy to make, the threaded grenade bases are less so and are much rarer. Still with this, a signalman can fire a 8.5mm 18 inch long harpoon with a standard tip at 250 feet per second, or a grenade tip at 200 feet per second. It is rated at a CK of 4.

Heavy Anti-Tank Rifle-1931
Produced in response to Grinvel's growing tank fleet this bolt action .50 RHC rifle is heavy but hopefully packs the punch needed to put a dent in the Grinvelians steel beasts. It fires .50 RHC from a side mounted 5 round box magazine. It has a muzzle velocity of 2,900 FPS. It is placed at a CK of 4.

Service Handgun 1913
The SH-13 was already a staple firearm among civilian divers for its water-resistant components . It's strange short recoil design raises eyebrows when seen, but its effectiveness cannot be doubted. Chambered in 10MM for high stopping power for putting down enemy soldiers, and any particularly brave man eating crabs. It has a Magazine Capacity of 7 rounds plus 1 in the chamber. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Service Handgun 1915

The 1915 service pistol trials saw many trials and tests conducted on multiple different handguns. In the end, both the Rolbeck and Higgins bids won. A modified ever day carry pistol, the SH-15 has a reliable and efficient short recoil system, comfortable grip, and a 10 round magazine of .45 HPA. A rarer sight then the SH-13, it remains a staple weapon mostly in higher end parts of the army and navy. It is placed at a CK of 2.

Man Portable Machinegun "POS" 1924

Regarded as the worst weapon in the republic arsenal, this Higgins machinegun passed the trials only because it was marginally better than the other, almost equally horrible, bids. Cloth belts with metal round fasteners that damage the round of they are removed, said round fasteners also hug the rounds to tightly and cause feeding issues, cloth belt bags that are easily worn down and eroded by the environment. It is safe to say the Republic very much so is lacking in the machine gun department and could use a replacement soon. It fires .30-06 in cloth belts. It has a firing rate of 450 rounds per minute. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Finally innovating over its predecessor, the MPM-31 it uses newly developed metal belt links for ammo which greatly reduce the chance of jamming compared to the old cloth belts. It's slightly longer than the older 'POS' giving it alittle more range and muzzle velocity at the cost of weight and unwieldiness.  It has a firing rate of 500 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 2,900 FPS. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Special Issue Machine Gun "Chunker" 1931
A robust and crude weapon, the Marines wanted it despite the fact it lost the bid. Despite its short comings it proved itself to be able to handle the elements and be cheap enough to be fielded effectively. With only a few slight modifications to increase its resistance to corrosion. It has a fire rate of 310 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of 2,700 FPS. It is placed at a CK of 3.

Where older machine guns may have been able to rip a target up, the HSMG shreds them. walls wood metal and thin concrete are beat like a drum and taken apart in seconds. It fires at 600 RPM and uses metal belt linked .50 RHC. It has a muzzle velocity of 3,000 FPS. It is placed at a CK of 4.

Anti Infantry and Emplacement Projection Platform 1934 'Imolator'
The AIEPP is a three fold Tool. A defoliant, an anti infantry weapon, and anti emplacement weapon, and an area denial weapon. It can fire out a stream of flammable jelly or gasoline to rid an area of vegetation or infantry, or be equipped with thermite gel and a secondary igniter to destroy emplacements after coating with the gel. It has 'one and done' variant with self contained fuel tanks on the unit for use in assaults and ditched quickly after, as well as 'sustained battlefield use' variant that features an armored backpack for continued battlefield support with lessened risk for shock units like the Beast Hunters. Army shocktroops and engineers however can be found using these weapons as well. Both variants work on a similar chassis with multiple overlapping components, but the second design had a secondary tank that stored the thermite gel and a stream switch system to swap between from said thermite gel and normal fuel.

A ubiquitous and easy to produce fragmentation grenade made after the Independence war Issued to specialist grenadier infantry and shock troops. It is placed at a CK of 4.

MK-2FG 5 Meter Kill Radius, 4 Sec Fuse

Smoke Grenade 1910
A smoke grenade used for visually obstructing the enemies sight. Issued to all signal troops shocktroops and officers.

MK-2SG 4 Sec Fuse

Concussion Grenade 1915

Built in response to the Marines request for a grenade that did not produce fragmentation to allow them to storm enemy positions faster, the CG does exactly that. It is a grenade made purely for the purpose of detonating its explosive filler and generates no shrapnel. Specialist Marine shock troops and rarely Army grenadiers are issued it. It is placed at a CK of 4.

Heavy Arms of the Republic

Man Portable Mortar System 1927 50mm

The MPMS-27 is a light 50mm mortar able to be carried and operated by 2 men. Both the Army and Marines make use of it, as such it features an end cap to assist in keeping debris, more specifically water, out of the tube.

Light Towed Field Artillery Piece 1915 75mm

Built in an early time of horse pulled logistics, this artillery piece is not one to be trifled with. Able to be pushed short distances by a crew of 4 men and towed with ease by vehicles across large distances it is a staple of Marrlan's Marine QRF forces. Army units also use this as a heavy direct fire platform along their trench lines.

Medium Towed Artillery Piece 1923 100mm

This middle of the road artillery piece is beloved by its 5 man crews for its reliability. It is able to be wheeled around by its crew or towed and has very good barrel life span and easily replaced parts. A rarity compared to the other pieces which can at times be quite a pain to maintain.

Medium Towed Artillery Piece 1931 107mm


Created in response to the CNRC standardization effort, the MTAP-1932 has better shrapnel characteristics compared to its slightly older brother. They are in shorter supply than the former design but are slowly being rolled out as a companion platform to the MTAP-23 until a proper stock of 107 is created.

Heavy Towed Artillery Piece 1926 200mm

Recent advances in recoil absorption technology have allowed this monster gun to not destroy itself upon firing or send it 15 yards backwards. It is only used in coastal defense batteries and heavily entrenched areas due to its extreme weight. Upon its commissioning, a new supply vehicle was made specifically to tow it as the previous one would destroy its engine after 5 minutes of travel.

Emplaced Autocannon Platform-1924

A strange design from Rolbeck arms, the EAP is a emplaced autocannon that uses cranks instead of wheels to traverse. Many describe it as a clutch steered gun, though its operation is no laughing matter as it is notorious for thrown shoulders and extreme upper body workouts. The gunner sits in a cramped seat and operates the elevation on his left and rotation lever on his right with the left and right arm. The gun is fired via a foot trigger.
The legs have forks for use in the ground when setup in concrete but they spread the weight strangely and without swapping the legs out after roughly 100 days of field use they may start to crack and break. This issue is negated when they are placed on forts or boats with a much more expensive and rare rotating base. It fires 30mm HCC HEGP or Solid Shot.

Vehicles of the Republic

Ground Vehicles

JA/GLV-1926 (Jeanne-Arthur General Logistics Vehicle)

The GLV-26 was designed and entered production immediately following the HTAP-26' production to be able to tow the behemoth without breaking. Due to its semi rushed production it is not as reliable as the old GLV-18 but it does its Job well. It has a top speed of 58 MPH on roads and 30 MPH off road. It has a operational range of 540 Miles.

JA/ATTGT-1932 "Ardent Bus" (All-Terrain Tracked General Transport)
A further developed GLV taking lessons from the troubles incurred by mud and ground scarred by constant bombardment, the Ardent Bus tackles these difficulties head on with its wide tracks able to keep it form sinking into mud, snow, sand, and slurry. While it lacks in speed, it makes up for this in carrying capacity and torque. It has a top speed of 32 MPH and 28 Off Road. It has an operational range of 410 Miles.



AUTV-32 'Packer'
While not as fast as its counterparts, the Packer excels at what its design was made to do. Move men and supplies without being susceptible to small arms, light AT weaponry, and light tanks. Primarily an infantry transport, the AUTV still finds itself in logistical roles, fulfilling the duties of the Ardent Bus where hostile fire may be to great of a risk. It can carry 8 troops in its rear cab, and can protect and support them with a roof mounted .50. It has a top speed of 28 MPH on roads and 20 off road. It has an operational range of 511 miles.





TM-10 "Tin Box" (Tracked Machine)

A tankette prototype fielded by the Marrlan Army. Has a crew of 2. A gunner/commander/loader and a driver. It has a 20mm Gun with 30 rounds of HEGP and 1000 rounds of .30-06 for the hull mounted machine gun. It has a max speed of 10 MPH on Roads, 7 MPH Off Road, and 5 in particularly tough terrain. It has an operational range of 90 miles. It has very quickly been phased out in favor of the TM-32 and TMJ-32 families of tankette.



TM-32

A new tankette fielded by the Marrlan Army. It has a 30mm main gun mounted within a crank driven turret. It has a crew of 3. 1 Gunner, 1 Commander/Loader, and a Driver. It has a max speed of 18 MPH on Roads, 12 MPH Off Road, and 9 MPH in particularly rough terrain. The turret can traverse at a rate of 10 degrees a second, and the gun has 50 rounds of HEGP (High Explosive General Purpose). It has an operational range of 90 miles.

TM-32A1
An upscaled version of the original TM-32 while retaining the original hull plan with minor changes, the TM-32A1 is just a larger version of the original vehicle with new components. More space, slightly more armor, and slightly bigger internals along with some optimizations.  It has a 37mm main gun mounted within a crank and electric traversal driven turret, and a roof mounted .30-06 machine gun.  It has a crew of 3. 1 Gunner, 1 Commander/Loader, and a Driver. It has a max speed of 20 MPH on Roads, 14 MPH Off Road, and 10 MPH in particularly rough terrain. The turret can traverse at a rate of 10 degrees a second, and the gun has 50 rounds of HEGP (High Explosive General Purpose). It has an operational range of 110 miles.


TMJ-32 "Slug"

The most recent tankette borne of the Marrish Tracked Machine development project in 1932, finally getting its spotlight in the great war. It has a crew of 3: a Gunner/Loader, a Commander, and a Driver. It has a top speed of 25 MPH on roads, and 19 MPH off-road and 18 in rough terrain. The turret can traverse at a rate of 10.7 degrees a second, and it houses a 37mm gun with 104 rounds of HEGP. It has an operational range of 145 miles. It is built with the forests and jungles of Touli in mind, hence its small stature and strong torque heavy engine allowing it to knock over trees multiple times its size.



TM-32L "Dodger"
The dodger is a tankette that straddles the line between its more diminutive kin and the more versatile class of light tanks.  While only partially completing its objective it remains a useful armored vehicle, and a vital stepping stone in Marrish tank development.
The turret can traverse at a rate of 9.3 degrees a second, and it houses a high velocity 50mm gun that fires HEGP(40 rounds) and APCS(30 rounds) allowing it to punch above its weight when confronting larger enemy armor. It has a crew of 34: a Gunner, Loader, Commander, and a Driver. It has a top speed of 20 MPH on roads, and 18 MPH off-road and 18 MPH in rough terrain. It has an operational range of 156 miles. It's wide tracks and stocky build afford it great ground pressure making it extremely capable in soft terrain like mud and sand.





TM-14 "Sardine"

A landship fielded by the Marrlan Army. Has a crew of 10. 4 Loaders and 4 Gunners, 1 Commander, 1 Driver. It has a maximum speed of 6 MPH on Roads, 5 MPH Off Road, and 3 MPH in particularly rough terrain. It has 4 75mm guns with 70 rounds of HEGP and 3000 rounds of .30-06 for the 2 roof mounted machine guns and 2 driver operated machine guns or 8000 rounds of .30-06 for the female versions machine guns. It has an operational range of 110 miles.




TM-14A1 "Sardine"

A great improvement upon the original design, the TM-14A1 is a modernization effort by the Marrish DoD to bring its older cheaper tank stock up to spec. It has a crew of 10. 3 Loaders and 3 Gunners, 1 Commander, 1 Driver. It has a maximum speed of 16 MPH on Roads, 10 MPH Off Road, and 8 MPH in particularly rough terrain. It has 2 75mm guns with 70 rounds of HEGP, and 60mm gun in the turret with 40 rounds of APCS, along with and 2 driver operated machine guns. It has an operational range of 125 miles.


TM-34 "Canner"

Marrlans first Medium tank design. Taking elements from the Slug, Cougar, and TM-32. Originally slated to be a light tank, the engine and armor ended up both oversized and heavier respectively giving way to a much more versatile and survivable vehicle.
It has a 60mm main gun with a vertical and horizontal gun stabilizer[38 rounds of HEGP, 38 rounds of APCS], coaxial .30-06 machine gun (Vehicle variant of the MPM-31), and a roof mounted .50 to combat infantry and air threats usable by the commander and a spotlight slaved to it. It can travel up to 20MPH on roads (28 if the speed governor is removed but engine damage can be incurred at such a high RPM.), 18 off road, and 15 in rougher terrain. It has an operational range of 138 miles. It incurs no significant terrain penalties beyond these as it strikes a good balance between track width and weight to mitigate ground pressure issues. It like other Marrish armor features no radio, but has a 2 inch flare mortar for communication with other elements. With lessons learned from previous engagements with Grinvish armor, crew survivability has been improved by adding more optimally placed escape hatches.




TM-32H "Cougar"

The first Marrish Heavy Tracked Machine. It has a crew of 6: A commander, a Driver, a Gunner, 2 Loaders, and a helper. Its turret can traverse up to 11 degrees per second and houses a 60mm gun and a coaxial 37mm gun with 74 (42 HEGP 32 AP) rounds for the 60mm and 213 (HEGP) for the 37mm. It has a maximum speed of 16 MPH on roads, 9 MPH off-road, and 6 in rough terrain. It has an operational range of 120 miles.




GPLAV-1932 (General Purpose Light Armored Vehicle)

A basic armored car built on a civilian frame with plates (15mm thick) that can withstand rifle caliber rounds. With expansion and experimentation in mind, the design takes the jack of all trades approach allowing for the basic design to be expanded upon or repurposed for other tasks. It can carry 6 men in the back, and has 2 seats in the front and a canvas roof. A secondary support variant has a metal roof with a mounted machine gun. It has a top speed of 29 Miles Per Hour. On trails and basic dirt paths this is reduced to 18 MPH. On Rough terrain it slows to 15 MPH, and in Sand it grinds down to 10 MPH. It has an operational range of 230 miles.



GPLAV-UA-1932

The up armored cousin of the traditional GPLAV, this variant is dedicated to infantry support at the cost of carrying capacity. It has a crew of 3, 1 Driver, 1 Assistant Driver, and 1 Commander/Gunner/Loader. It carries 2000 rounds of .50 for its heavy machine gun. It has a top speed of 22 Miles Per Hour. On trails and basic dirt paths this is reduced to 15 MPH. On Rough terrain it slows to 11 MPH, and in Sand it grinds down to 10 MPH. It has an operational range of 200 miles.




GPLAV-HSV/TMD (Heavy Support Variant/Tracked Machine Destroyer) 'Timmy'
Based on the previous GPLAV platforms on the same idea of modularity, a light support and scouting platform was devised with better armor to keep speed on its side. . It has a crew of 3, 1 Driver, 1 Assistant Driver,  1 Commander, 1 Gunner, and 1 Loader. It has a 37mm main gun, and a coaxial .30-06 machine gun. It has a top speed of 22 Miles Per Hour (24MPH without speed limiter.). It also has a vertical and horizontal stabilizer. On trails and basic dirt paths this is reduced to 14 MPH. On Rough terrain it slows to 12 MPH, and in Sand it grinds down to 10 MPH. It has an operational range of 200 miles.


MGP-32 'Knuckle'
The MGP-32 is the epitome of Marrlans QRF concept brought to fruition. It is a speedy gun platform made for fire support in assaults and defensive scenarios that carries a powerful gun capable of damaging structures just as well as armor.

Walkers

BSP-34 'Ostrich'
The Ostrich is a Bipedal Platform or BP for short that is designed to fight within cities and urban environments. It can crouch behind objects for cover or peak over them to fire on enemies and has decent mobility for its stature. Its wide stance affords it great stability, and coupled with its gun stabilizer it is a force to be reckoned with. It has a crew of 3, 1 Driver, 1 Assistant Driver, 1 Commander, 1 Gunner, and 1 Loader. It has a 37mm main gun with a horizontal and vertical stabilizer, a coaxial .30-06 machine gun, and a roof mounted .50 for commander use. It has a stop speed of 19MPH(23MPH if speed limiter is disengaged but has potential to overstress and detonate leg hydraulic system.)  On trails and basic dirt paths this is reduced to 18 MPH. On Rough terrain it barely slows to 17 MPH being designed to handle rubble and other uneven environments, in Sand it grinds down to 9 MPH and can run into sinking issues as the feet are less well suited to softer materials though it simply sinking into the snow and finds solid ground granting it a more forgiving 14 MPH. It has an operational range of 143 miles.

Rations of the Republic

While many types of food are available at home, a Marrlan soldier must come to terms that comfort may be the aim of the DoD Food Labs branch is not always able to accommodate this. Still, the Marrlan soldiers rations reflect his or her culture well and are filled with a plethora of nutritious and enjoyable food. Utensils and a small can opener are issued to all service members along with a small metal mess tin.
The Rations the MAF field are separated into 3 types.
Field Provisions, Post Rations, and Base Provisions.

Field Provisions are stored in metal or cardboard containers small enough to fit in a Haversack. They are comprised of small things to keep one going for a day roughly the size of a small meal.
The contents are stored in a layered system with 3 menu's that contain 3 food units, an accessory packet, and a heating implement. Spare can openers were stuck to the lid with a small strip of tape.
Menu A: Canned Salted Tuna, Pemmican, Crackers, Accessory Packet, Mini Stove with 2 lumps of coal.
Menu B: Canned Salmon Burger, Canned Bread, Canned Dehydrated Spinach, Accessory Packet, Mini Stove with 2 lumps of coal.
Menu C: Canned Farro, Canned Crab Bits, Crackers, Accessory Packet, Mini Stove with 2 lumps of coal.

Accessory packets had 2 patterns, which pattern a ration had depended on what was readily available in the packing plant which resulted in slight variations.
Pattern A: Garum, Toilet paper, Coffee Instant Type 1 (A circle of compressed coffee), and one Cigarette.
Pattern B: Old Bay seasoning packet, Toilet Paper Coffee Instant Type 1, and a stick of gum.



Post Rations, are heavier units made of cardboard or wood the size of a milk crate. They are filled with more pleasant and fulfilling foods than the more quick to chew on FP's. All rations within them are still less palatable and savory than one might wish for, but allows for more variety and nutritional value. They are made for use by a platoon as a communal food to be shared in whatever camp or post they operate out of.
It contains multiple FP's and a set of larger ration cans. The ration cans include:
Canned Dehydrated Cream and Crab Chunks, Canned Salted Farro, Canned Ham, Canned Sausage, Canned Dehydrated Spinach, Canned Dehydrated Broccoli, Canned Deans Roots, Canned Crackers, Canned Cookies, Canned Chocolate Bars, and a Packet of Cigarettes and Matches.


Base Provisions, are large cases of canned food that is fresh for use in field kitchens at larger fortifications and rear echelon facilities. Their lifespan is not as great as the other rations, but gives a great boost to morale as the food is of much higher quality and is much more palatable. They are stored in large wooden crates the size of steamer trunks and have a wide array of foods.
