Development
Development began in the late 1990s when Maverican/Menghe relations started to deteriorate. While both nations possessed large militaries both were begining to age and Maverica had the smaller of the two. To combat this a new IFV was ordered to be created along with gradual updateing of older military equipment. Development was slow from the begining as the project's development team was mired in disagreements and corruption. By 2001 almost nothing has been accomplished.
