Common Pool: Galaxy, Liberator, Lodestar and Volture
Description:
The gaint airborn Galaxy transport ship can hold 3 gunners, 6 Passengers, 2 MAXes, and a single vehicle up to the size of an Assault Buggy, meaning the Galaxy can insert a sizeable attack force into just about any locale. The Liberator Bomber is a three-crew vehicle. The pilot not only flies the vehicle, but also has a fixed-forward firing 35mm heavy machinegun. The tailgunner has a highly-maneuverable 25mm machinegun to cover the rear of the aircraft. The Liberator can drop bombs of two varieties, either 'tankbuster' or 'anti-personnel'. The Lodestar is a single-crew aircraft that can carry any manned ground vehicle in its rear cargo bay and provides on the field repairs for any vehicle. The Vulture is a fast attack support bomber variant of the Liberator and can only be gained via the Bomber Ace Bronze merit.
Common Pool: Lighting
Description:
The Lightning is a one-man light tank that supports a single 75mm Light Tank Cannon in addition to a 20mm Recoiless machine gun.
Empire Specific: Prowler (TR), Vanguard (NC), and Magrider (VS)
Description:
The TR Prowler supports a pilot, a primary gunner that operates the dual 100mm Tank Cannon, and a secondary gunner that controls the dual rotary chaingun for light anti-personnel support. The NC Vanguard has a 150mm Tank Cannon and the gunner can switch to firing dual 20mm recoilless cannons for light anti-personnel support. The Magrider's gunner operates the Heavy Rail beam, a direct fire weapon that can easily pierce the toughest of armor. For secondary light anti-personnel support, the Pilot has access to a fixed forward, Light Pulsed Particle Accelerator. It also has a anti-gravitic drive propulsion system, meaning it can go on water.
Prerequisite: Armored Assault 1
Common Pool: Harasser and Skyguard
Empire Specific: Marauder (TR), Enforcer (NC) and Thresher (VS)
Description:
The TR Marauder supports a driver, a primary gunner using a 360 degree capable Pounder, and a secondary gunner using a rotary chaingun for light anti-personnel support. The NC Enforcer supports a driver, and gunner who has a 360 degree capable Firebird Missile system. The VS Thresher has a anti-gravitic drive propulsion system, meaning it can go on water and supports a pilot and gunner, the weapon system controlled by the gunner is the Flux Cannon, a fast firing energy orb weapon. The Skyguard is a two-crew buggy that has a driver forward and a gunner behind. The gunner can choose between firing a fast-firing Flak Cannon (against air targets) or a 12mm Rotary Chaingun (against dismounted infantry). The Harasser has room for a driver and a gunner. Both people sit in an open-air compartment that affords little protection, but lightens the vehicle to increase its speed. The passenger position has a mounted 12mm Rotary Chaingun.
Common Pool: Basilisk, Fury and Wraith
CoreCombat: Switchblade
Description:
The Assault Basilisk, a fast four-wheel cycle with weaponry. Incredibly nimble the Basilisk is capable of traversing great distances over rough terrain. The Fury packs in Hell Fire Rockets, capable of riping into enemy MAX units and vehicles. The Wraith quad-cycle can be cloaked from view if the rider has an operational Infiltration Suit, otherwise it functions as a normal cycle. The Switchblade is a single person hover cycle that can transform into a fixed hover-turret. While in hover cycle mode, it carries a forward firing energy cannon called a Scythe, and in turret mode, has complete 360-degree coverage with faster fire rate. The Switchblade can be deployed in its turret mode on any surface - even over water.

Description:
Requires imprint with Auraxian core, 5 cave facility captures with resistance and 75 kills to gain. The BFR features a powerful shield that can absorb massive amounts of damage. In addition to it's base defense, the shield recharges continually over time, allowing it to take a significant amount of fire before taking damage to it's armor.
The BFR comes in two configurations: Gunner and Flight, each empire has it's own version of BFR, and each has specialized weaponry unique to that empire. To get a Flight variant you must kill 100 enemy, and then get a streak of 7 unique kills without dieing.

Prerequisite: Armored Assault 2
Common Pool: Advanced Mobile Station (AMS)
CoreCombat: Router
Description:
The AMS is often the lynchpin of a successful assault upon a facility due to its ability to become a Respawning station out in the field. A handy Binding terminal on the front, a deconstructing station at the back and two equipment terminals either side allows soldiers to quickly outfit themselves for battle once again. Defensively the AMS relies on a 'cloaking bubble' to hide its location from enemy eyes. The Router allows soldiers to instantly teleport between it and a deployed telepad once set up.
