Aderian Agmine
An Aderian Agmine is an armored carriage used by the Aderian Royal Army for transportation of troops; pulled and carried by 6 skows (a crossbreed between a sabodtonner and cattle), an agmine can carry anywhere between an ARA Squad and an ARA Platoon, with varying convenience. Individual carriages can be linked together to form a larger carriage if traveling via a paved road; this carriage is carried by 10 skows, thus allowing a unit to keep one pair of skows as backup. Though not intentional, this practice also leads to greater comfort for the passengers.
Propulsion
An agmine is carried by 6 skows (10 if linked), of whom 4 (8) are inside of it and a front pair is outside. The direction of movement is dictated by the front pair of wheels, which are connected to the yoke of the front pair of skows; this can be overridden by breaking an inner plank, allowing the agmine to be controlled via an internal front rudder.
Armor and defense
In essence, an agmine is a wooden box with steel plates on its lateral, front and top faces. In hostile territory, the skows in the front are armored and equipped with specialized bardings, utilizing a design similar to that used by the Osviri Thunders.
