History
The M113 was first use in 1962 V.C. Eventually, the M113 was the most widely used armored vehicle of the Aquilan Army in the Aquilan-Lizardmen conflict and was used to break through heavy thickets in the midst of the jungle to attack and overrun enemy positions. It was largely known as an "APC" or an "ACAV" (armored cavalry assault vehicle) by the Guardians of the Tacitus.

The M113 was the first aluminum hull combat vehicle to be put into mass production. Much lighter than earlier similar vehicles, its aluminum armor was designed to be thick enough to protect the crew and passengers against small arms fire, but light enough that the vehicle was air transportable and moderately amphibious.

The M113's versatility spawned a wide variety of adaptations that live on worldwide and in Aquilan service.
