Designed by United Mechanics, LLC on [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]] for the [[Rim Worlds Republic]] as an anti-insurgent vehicle. Originally based on an infantry personnel carrier, it was designed for urban assault against urban shelters.  The vehicle was used to ram its target buildings so it could deliver its infantry squad into the breached structure.  Originally named the '''Ram''', the vehicle crews during its original time of use, came to use another name. It was referred to as the '''Ignis''', with flamers reminding them of the Vedic god of fire.  The vehicle at that time was only used by the Republic's state security forces. The vehicle was retired after a decade of use. However, its usage made it a memorial vehicle in Rim Worlds history.<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/>

In [[2751]], President Stefan Amaris brought the Ignis back into production for his Amaris Dragoon regiments.  Exclusively assigning crews who had strong hatred for the [[Star League]]. When it was deployed with the Dragoons, the vehicle was deployed in dedicated Ignis companies.  Due to its high maintenance issues, units regularly kept a pool of twice as many vehicles as available crews, so enough vehicles would be available. During the [[Amaris Coup]], the Ignis was noted for its atrocities against civilians in the [[Terran Hegemony]].<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/>

The [[99th Amaris Dragoons|99th Amaris Dragoons']] Ignis platoons had notably committed such severe atrocities, but would be admired by the [[thirty-first century|thirty-first century's]] [[Word of Blake]].<ref name="TRO:3075p292+"/>
