The '''VCI-74''' ('''Vehículo de Combate de Infantería''', Infantry Combat Vehicle) is an {{wpl|Infantry Fighting Vehicle}} developed by [[Armachd ]] of [[Temuair]] for the [[Imperial Army of Temuair]]. Entering service in 1974, it was the primary tracked armored fighting vehicle in service with the Imperial Army, and has spawned a variety of variants which fill several roles within the Imperial Army, including light tank, armored recovery vehicles, and mobile armored command posts. It has been mostly replaced by the [[Unified Tracked Combat Vehicle|VCRU-I]] infantry fighting vehicle, though some remain in service with reserve formations.  
The '''Fagiano''' is an {{wpl|Infantry Fighting Vehicle}} developed by [[Amante S.p.A]] of [[Luminerra]] for the [[Lumenic Army]]. Entering service in 1980, it was the primary tracked armored fighting vehicle in service with the Lumenic Army, and had also spawned a variety of variants to fulfill several roles within the Lumenic Legion, including an armored recovery vehicles, and mobile armored command posts. It has been replaced in service by the [[Dardo IFV]]. Though not considered to be as unsuccessful as the related [[Mangusta Main Battle Tank]], the Fagiano was, in general, considered to be a subpar infantry vehicle and was quickly replaced when newer options became alliable. Some versions of the vehicle remain in service in specialized roles.

<History stuff>
The success experience by the Imperial Army in using the VCI-74's chassis to create multiple variant vehicles lead the Imperial Army to initiated the ''Vehículo de Combate Unified'' program in the late 1990's to replace a variety of wheeled vehicles in service. This resulted in the [[Unified Combat Vehicle|Vehículo de Combate Unified]] being selected by the Imperial Army in 2005, with several variants entering production hat same year. To date, there are 10 unique variants of the UCV in service.
In the mid-1990's through the late 2000's, the Imperial Army initiated a program to modernize many of the VCI-74 and variant vehicles systems. This included upgrades mostly revolving around improved electronics and equipment. One of the most important additions is that of an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) mounted on the back of the tank. The externally mounted APU allows for lower fuel consumption and quieter operation when static by allowing the vehicle and its systems to be operated with the vehicle main engine turned off. In addition, the turrets hydraulic system was replaced with an all-electric design, increasing traverse speed. Automatic fire suppression systems were added to both the fighting and engine compartments. Improvements were also made to the vehicles optics and senors, including providing the drivers station with a short-range thermal camera, while the gunner and commanders stations received more sophisticated thermal imaging equipment with built-in laser rangefinder. The on-board computer systems received extensive upgrades both internally, including a new meteorological processing unit working with the fire control computer to account for weather conditions, thereby improving the accuracy of long range fire, and externally by way of new digital monitors and gauges replacing analog components.

The Fagiano is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle developed by Amante S.p.A of Luminerra for the Lumenic Army. Entering service in 1980, it was the primary tracked armored fighting vehicle in service with the Lumenic Army, and had also spawned a variety of variants to fulfill several roles within the Lumenic Legion, including an armored recovery vehicles, and mobile armored command posts. It has been replaced in service by the Dardo IFV. Though not considered to be as unsuccessful as the related Mangusta Main Battle Tank, the Fagiano was, in general, considered to be a subpar infantry vehicle and was quickly replaced when newer options became alliable.
