Overview:
The PCM-15I Personal Combat Mobile is an individually operated, armed casemate tankette. No
larger than a commercial truck, it boasts an unusually spacious interior compared to the
cramped interior of conventional tanks. The vehicle was originally conceived as a pension
reward for retired veterans choosing a quiet life on the Periphery frontier. While slow by
modern combat standards, the tankette is exceptionally well-protected, dedicating one-third
of its total mass to standard-grade armor. For offense, it utilizes two forward-mounted
small lasers. The domestic interior features a reclining operator's seat that doubles as a
bunk, a small atmospheric condenser unit to convert ambient humidity into drinkable water, a
specialized suction commode that flash-dries waste into compact cartridges for safe
disposal, and storage for survival rations and personal stowage. At the heart of the vehicle
is a 75-rated internal combustion engine (ICE) that propels the vehicle up to 86 km/h.
