------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
Built by GM-Nissan Conglomerate of NorAm, the Doberman IFV has become a
standard partol vehicle on many worlds since it has both impressive firepower
and protection.

The best coverage of this vehicle in action was during the Food Riots of 3084
on Trigu Three. The riots started in the second largest spaceport on the
planet, Tom City, and soon engulfed the whole world. The local milita and
police responded with everything that they had in their arsenals and that
included two companys worth of Doberman IFVs. After two months of fighting the
Trigu Milita had secured most of the major cities and with several merc units
hired by the Del Amonta Food Group, who owned 60% of the planets' argi lands,
had battered the rioters and the rebels into small groups that could be dealt
with easier. The Doberman was very vicious in the close fighting in the city
of Pesca. There the rebel group El Macheta tried to make a stand declaring
that they were a new nation called the Social People's Worker Union of Trigu.
This new nation lasted all of 96 hours. A troop of Doberman, back up by severl
firesupport mechs and heavy tanks and foot soldiers, went into the city and
started to clear it. Block by block the fighting went on, and no part of the
city was left untouched. The SPWU forces tried to fight their way and in the
process tried to show that the forces of imperialist leaders and such could be
defeat, ended up dying in a blaze of white hot fire as infernos slammed into
their headquaters.

After the battles, GM-Nissian studied the reports and maintance records of the
Dobermans and soon started pushing the vehilce to other worlds and mega
corperations.

The vehicle is a nice design with a lot of firepower (slower, but at least it won't leave the soldiers it fights with), but I'm not sure if it is a militia design (FF, fusion engine, ER lasers... well, not that I understand what happens in post-Jihad era). It would also use some weapons to deal with soft targets (not that an exchange of infantry space and lasers for armor, I.C. engine and a few MGs would be that hard...)

Useful support thing for infantry, but I'm puzzled by the size of inf. bay. 2.5t?
