Fire Support Vehicle: Robin Jupiter
Unlike most factions, NOR has only one FSV. The Fire Support Vehicle is technically a wheeled fighting vehicle, designed for various missions, such as infantry support, reconnaissance, and even engaging tanks to a degree. However, NOR already has plenty of other vehicles in the Multi-Function category that fills this role. Hence, NOR has only one pure FSV.

Overview
The Robin Jupiter is a massive upgrade of older FSV models, especially that of the Rotem Jupiter. Like most FSVs, it is designed to be fast but strong. Combined with its ability to carry troops and amphibious power, it fills a distinct niche of its own.
Armor and Appearance
It is virtually identical to the original Rotem Jupiter, but bigger (plus, its turret and gun are distinctly semi-futuristic in appearance). It also has modular armor, so that it can better withstand blasts. At 24 t, it can still move in water, but it loses this when it becomes 28 t.
Weapons
It is armed with a 175-mm gun, which is very odd for a FSV. It can fire all 175-mm and even 155-mm rounds. It has an autoloader. The turret is specially designed to rotate faster than most tank turrets.
It has no secondary armament, relying on its troops to defend it.
Other Traits
The Robin Jupiter was supposed to have been eliminated. However, the makers decided to modify it to wield a 175-mm gun, and it worked. Plus, it can carry troops and even move in water, advantages that allowed it to stay in production. In battle, it is mostly used to surprise enemies, who usually do not expect a wheeled vehicle to wield such a big gun.
