Introduced in 2944[1], the Vargr (meaning 'wolf' in old norse) is an APC used by various factions to move infantry units.[2]. Relatively large for an APC, the Vargr's seven ton infantry bay allows it to carry a significant amount of infantry to the battlefield, while its substantial armor protection means it's likely to last long enough to deliver those infantry.
Weapons and Equipment
Owing to its role as an armored personnel carrier, the Vargr is relatively lightly armed. It carries two Machine Guns and two medium lasers in a turret, allowing it to effectively support its payload of infantry after delivering them.

Canonicity
The Vargr first appeared in the apocryphal BattleTech video game, and was subsequently canonized in House Arano (The Aurigan Coalition), where it received record sheets for both its variants.
