Editing Velatine Federal Republic (section)

==Industry==

===Used Designs===

====Battlemechs====

'''Archer''' - The sheer amount of Archers means that the Republic can always maintain at least a few of them - its engineers are also skilled at replacing burnt out weapon systems on the mech for newer loadouts. "Frankenmech" Archers are thusly quite common. 

'''Jaegermech''' - The VFR has a limited production run of Jaegermechs

'''Locust''' - The Locust is the only Battlemech that the VFR can produce in any number.

====Vehicles====

'''Partisan'''

'''Po''' - The Stradioti once took payment from the Capellen Confederation in a shipment of Po tanks for their military.

===Homegrown Designs===

====Battlemechs====
'''Banshee BNC-3V''' - Standard variant for the Presidential Guard. All four PG Banshees retain the 4/6 movement profile, but replace all stock weaponry with four SRM6 racks, a ton of ammo each, and a 17th SHS. A half ton of armor is also removed to accommodate the additional SHS. [[Media:Banshee_BNC-3V.png]]

'''Vicuña VCN-3Q''' - Homegrown trooper BattleMech. Built around the LTV 160 Fusion Engine available due to local production of the Locust BattleMech. Rare, and a prestigious assignment for any VFR Mechwarrior. A lance of them are always deployed with the Stradioti as a point of national pride. [[Media:Vicuña_VCN-3Q.png]]

'''Dalmatian DLM-1A''' - The Dalmatian is a very cheaply made light mech, using Primitive equipment. It is mainly designed to be used as a harasser, relying on LRMs to keep the distance between it and stronger foes - it mounts Machineguns as well to let it be pressed into dealing with conventional forces if needed. 

'''Velatine Dragons''' - As the Draconis Combine phased out the Dragon, the Stradioti acquired and purchased some models which were refitted for easier maintenance by the Periphery nations, and to better convert them to brawlers - reports indicate Dragons with ACs upgraded to 10s, and LRMs swapped for Rocket Launchers. A later adjusted version was made to include a melee weapon. 

'''Velatine Trebuchets''' - The Stradioti returned from one very successful campaign in the Draconis Combine with some Trebuchets which had been intended for usage in the mostly abandoned 7K projects. Reports indicate that these Trebuchets were refitted to combine other Trebuchet designs, mixing an AC-5 with LRMS. As these are more support mechs made to hang back, and because they are rare, they are mostly only used by Velatine officers.

====Vehicles====

'''Tartaruga''' - Mass-produced Medium Tank for the VFR. Outperforms the Scorpion Light Tank, but at a significant cost and weight increase. Cheaper than the heavier Vedette, and featuring more firepower, the design was adopted before the Third Succession War as the VFR's main production tank design. [[Media:Tartaruga TTG-1A.png]]

'''Parang''' -
