The IFV-1 is the Kamarthian State Arsenal's latest armoured personnel carrier. It borrows conceptually from both the IDC's armoured speeders and the more traditional heavily armed IKA assault transports. The IFV-1 is noted for it's balanced armament, having both a general-purpose gun and surface-to-air missiles. However, whilst balanced, it's weapon's firepower is somewhat lacking. The turret is armoured to assault tank standards in the frontal aspect but only lightly defended from the sides/rear -a compromise to save weight.

An unarmed version can carry 8 persons (2 more).

The SAMs have a low altitude limit, poor range and slow reaction/rate-of-fire. This makes them inadequate for general air-defence although they are of course useful force multipliers.
