== Description ==
The '''Tyr infantry support vehicle''' was a joint design by [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and Joint Equipment Systems, part of a plan by the Clan's leadership to reach out more to the conquered Rasalhagian populace. The first Tyrs rolled off JES' assembly line in [[3063]], making it one of the first Ghost Bear–Rasalhague joint ventures.<ref name="TRO:3067p32+"/>

The [[combat vehicle]] is an infantry transport that has enough firepower to support the same. It has a five-ton cargo bay, enough to carry a full [[Point]] of [[Elemental]]s. Since most front-line units have [[OmniMech]]s that the battle armor troopers can ride in on, the Tyr has mostly been distributed to second-line forces. In order to safely deliver its cargo, the Tyr is protected by six and a half tons of armor. It has a top speed of 151 km/h, enabling it to quickly put the infantry Point where it is needed and get out safely.<ref name="TRO:3067p32+"/>

While the Tyr is defensively formidable, it also has respectable firepower. A turret houses a Type 22g [[ER Large Laser]] and two Pattern J4 [[Streak SRM-4]]s. This gives the crew of the Tyr the ability to support its charges either from a distance or up close.<ref name="TRO:3067p32+"/>
