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.
