OOC: To give a positive ending to this debate, after all the passion has died down...

IC: Technicians inspect the massive Armored Aerospace Boarding Vehicle (AABV), one of the contenders in the failed Warp AFV project. 10 pulse jets distributed around the hull enable it to traverse in space, while electromagnetic tracks theoretically allow it to maneuver on an enemy ship's deck. The prototype warp drive, a modified and cut-down version of the 'Paladin'' aerospace fighter's, takes up most of the space (the cooling vents on the roof are clearly seen), so it's armament is limited to a radar-guided triple 25mm gun, and it has capacity for a crew of 2 and just a full platoon of 12 space troopers. Initially seen as a cheaper and less technologically-challenging alternative to the Centaur APC, it was also cancelled due to currently insurmountable problems with the warp drive and because its size means it can only be deployed via the giant but unarmed and lightly armored transports like Outremer and Pascal.
