The Subterranean Armoured Personal Carrier was a transport vehicle used by the Brotherhood of Nod during the Second Tiberium War.

[edit] History

These APC's were capable of travelling underground by tunneling through the soil in order to reach far away locations which made them effective heavy assault carriers for Nod personnel. As such, they were typically used for sneak attacks into enemy bases which allowed them to deploy infantry at a moments notice without having to worry about exposure to Tiberium during transport. During the conflict of the Second Tiberium War, Anton Slavik was convicted by General Hassan to death. However, the leader of the Black Hand managed to escape to a nearby base where his forces were assault by soldiers loyal to Hassan who made use of Subterranean APC's in their attacks. Later, another such transport was used by Slavik and his aide Oxanna Kristos after they escaped capture by the Global Defense Initiative.

After the Firestorm Crisis, the practice of using subterranean vehicles ended and they were decommissioned by the Brotherhood thus they had no part to play in the Third Tiberium War. Instead, their duties were largely taken over by the Reckoner transports which were capable of being deployed as bunkers on the battlefield. However, in the years preceding the Fourth Tiberium War, Nod created a modified version of the Reckoner which possessed subterranean travelling capabilities.

[edit] Description

Subterannean APCs were equipped with heavy drills that allowed them to move beneath the surface of the earth. This allowed it to bypass enemy defenses and fortifications, ambush enemies and avoid tiberium that would pose a risk to the health of the solders inside. In keeping with Nod tactics, the vehicle could not be seen as it was underground However, the Mobile Sensor Array was able to detect such vehicles as they traveled below ground.
