==Description==
Designed and produced during the [[Star League Civil War]], the '''LB-X Carrier''' (also known officially as Weapon Carrier, Tracked) was a mass-produced combat vehicle built for the [[SLDF]] forces combating [[Stefan Amaris]]'s combat troops for control of the [[Star League]] and the [[Terran Hegemony]]. Based on [[Primitive Technology|Primitive]] [[Weapon Carrier|Weapons Carriers]] produced during the [[Age of War]], the LB-X Carrier was devised by SLDF Engineers as a means to simplify the manufacturing and replacement of combat vehicles during the conflict.

Based on [[Primitive Technology|Primitive]] [[Weapons Carriers]] produced during the [[Age of War]], the LB-X Carrier (also known officially as Weapon Carrier, Tracked.) was devised by SLDF Engineers as means to simplify manufacturing of replacement of combat vehicles during the conflict.  
  
The vehicle was designed as a support unit, and was deployed en masse to increase survival throughout the war. The LB-X Carrier's manufacturer, Drago Limited of [[Skye]], was but one of many companies mass producing the vehicle. However, the quality of the vehicle varied from company to company.  The resulting poor quality meant that these vehicles would be laid up for maintenance prior to entering service with their intended combat units.

The LB-X Carrier itself would remain in service until the Succession Wars, where, due to the loss of technology, it would soon disappear and be replaced by slightly more primitive Weapons Carriers.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 141-142 & 155 LB-X Carrier - Background</ref>

==Armament & Capacities==
Named for its primary weapon systems, the LB-X Carrier is armed with a pair of Defiance Ravager LB 10-X Autocannons found in its front.  The guns are supplied by four tons of ammunition, giving it plenty of room for optional ammunition types. In addition to its namesake weapon system, the vehicle also mounts three forward-mounted 5-tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers, which have been allotted two tons of ammunition.

Its 180-rated [[fusion engine]] and other vitals are protected by 6.5 tons of Aldis heavy ferro-fibrous armor, which is distributed evenly in the front side arcs but lightly in its rear.<ref>''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 141-142 & 155 LB-X Carrier - Stats and abilities</ref>
