| Designer Notes |
| When Brok Enterprises designed the Caiman APC in TN 1877, the vehicle was answering a need for a relatively fast transport with some bite that would deliver its infantry rapidly and safely. Unfortunately, while the design was more than valid prior to the War of the Alliance, and despite its good performance even during the War, it was ill-equipped to deal with the GREL threat. The arrival of the Colonial Expeditionary Force in TN 1913 made military commanders realize they needed more than an APC; they needed an armored fighting vehicle that could survive and perhaps defeat a hovertank. There was little time to create a new design, so the engineers recycled the Caiman APC and came up with the Crocodile AFV. The Crocodile fared well against GRELs, and while outmatched it could even holds its own against some of the lighter colonial tanks. Some did even better and occasionally came back unscathed from the battlefield. Sadly, too many units equipped with Crocodile fared poorly. By the end of the War, they were staffed by mostly combat-inexperienced personnel and most were destroyed piece-meal. |
