The MV5835 Maronesa is the flagship heavy infantry fighting vehicle of the Carlosian Army. Experience from the Bourgougian Blitz indicated the need to replace the aging fleet of MV4344 Jiron armoured vehicles with a more durable 'battle taxi' for the transport and protection of mechanised infantry. Misrias Steelworks answered by presenting a prototype that would eventually evolve into the MV5835 Maronesa to the Carlosian Armed Forces Procurements Office on 29 June 1995. Meeting the requirements for a vehicle that was able to transport a full infantry squad, match the speed of the MV4344 Jiron, provide superior protection and be highly modular, the MV5835 Maronesa entered into service with the Carlosian Army starting in 1999. Since entering service, it has only been used in low-intensity combat situations. It has not been exported to other countries.
