History
Like many vehicles within the Imperial Military, the Ocelot has its humble origins right after the 17 Years War and during the massive rearmament program that the Empire undertook after learning several bloody lessons from the war. During the War it was discovered that the Empire’s older light tactical vehicle was too light, often getting stuck in the muddy ground, or was easily taken out by anti-armor units. The older vehicle also suffered from several mechanical problems when deployed on long scouting missions and when bogged down in mud or snow. Not to mention the older vehicle suffered from being undergunned, and could not effectively engage enemy forces. Then there was the economic aspect, the older light tactical vehicle was costly to manufacture and often needed complex materials in its construction. However, despite its downsides the older light tactical vehicle proved to be fast and quite agile, meaning it could quickly evade enemy forces and it had a powerful but complex spotting network allowing it to be quite the effective spotter vehicle.

Design and testing on a newer armored car would start right after the 17 Years War and would develop into the Type 110-P, this version was a larger and heavily armored version of the current Type 110, this version proved to be a well protected and powerful light tactical vehicle that was able to cross muddy or deep snow environments. This prototype sported a dual 25mm turret that could be remotely controlled from within the cabin. But it proved to be too heavy and slow, often becoming more of a target for anti-tank crews and mines. Which became a major concern with the Sror Counter-Insurgency Campaign leading to heavy casualties among armored car crews. With the end of the Counter-Insurgency campaign, the designers went back to the board. As they began looking at both the older style of light tactical vehicle and the newer prototype, cherry-picking ideas from each of the two. The first decided to reduce the overall size of the armored car and lighten the armor thickness, after that, they upgraded the engine of the vehicle to a V10 turbo fenvarium fuel engine. After that they took off one of the 25mm cannons and got rid of the remote control turret, instead opting for a manned one. This newer version of the prototype version was dubbed the Type 110-P and would soon get its battle scars.

However, it was not until the Border Crisis that the Type 110-P would finally be moved out of the prototype stage. During the Crisis, the Type 110-P would earn a fearsome reputation as an effective combat support vehicle, able to quickly navigate urban zones and cross rough terrain with ease. But it also provided fearsome firepower thanks to this quick-moving turret and rapid-fire 25mm cannon. In addition to this, it carried several troopers that could be used to secure perimeters and clear nearby buildings. After the Crisis, it was determined that the vehicle needed slightly heavier armor, shielding, and further variants before it was to enter combat service. This was an easy fix and not a year later in 2331, the modern Type 110 was placed into mass production
