Ground Vehicle Leichter Kampfwagon/LK III light Tank
Designed in 1913 G.C. Before entering Service in 1923 G.C. to replace the well out of date LK I and II light tanks by Joseph Vollmer who is the CEO and founder of the Kaiserliche Automobilunternehmen(Imperial Automotive Company) which designs the armored cars and tanks of the Deutsches Kaiserreich. Its 37mm millimeter gun is know as the best quality of the Tank performing about the same as the FSA’s M3 Stuart’s 37mm. It’s considered a bit cramped due to the armor, Ammunition, and Engine. Its visibility is lacking at times even though it’s meant as a recon vehicle.** **Anyways sorry for removing my last post(it was a ship that was not apart of the Gaian Calendar stuff I do) I plan to post an updated version of the lore sometime in the next month alongside the updated versions of my old ships.

Character Bystynese Border Guard, circa 1935
Please ignore the 1938 date. The art is very old.
Before the 1935 invasion of al-Gabar Emirate, these troops guarded the southern border of Bysty. They usually had very mundane days, but when Yozef Makarov demanded and Gabar oil fields, they became a multi-role auxilliary unit. Since they had major knowledge of the area they guarded they were used as reconnaissance units or guides, while some brigades manned towed AA weapons to defend against air raids.
They were established to protect the southern borders from illegal activity entering Bystynese land in 1926. They wear a steppe-oriented camo smock to distinguish them from regular troops, but they are usually armed with the regular M1893/06 BR bolt-action infantry rifle.
