Production history

The assembly lines of the Citadel Arsenal were expected to be fully committed to fulfilling the orders received for the BK-VIII Light Infantry Scout Vehicle from the governments of Anahuaco, the Benacian Union, and Normark, for a period of up to twelve years commencing from 1723 AN.

By 1744 it would become one of the most widely produced vehicles in the Benacian Union, serving as a stopgap replacement for the vast materiel losses of the Benacian Union Defence Force during the Shiro-Benacian War.
