==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.
