[b]MPFS-A "Vörðr" | Federation of Reiss MLRS[/b]
[b]Unit:[/b] 1st Panzer Division, 301th Lehrbataillon.
[b]Conflict:[/b] Second Aethelian War (Year 933).
[b]Historical Note:[/b] This vehicle belonged to the elite 301st Lehrbataillon (Demonstration Battalion), which was urgently deployed to the frontlines during the breakthrough of the "Siegfried II" line. During the defensive phase of the conflict, the 301st crews were the first to mass-deploy "roving battery" tactics, exploiting the wheeled chassis and modular reloading advantages to evade counter-battery fire. Thanks to deep integration into the digital battlespace via the DPKK system, MPFS units provided real-time fire support to forward elements, effectively stalling the San-Laurelian mechanized columns. This conflict cemented the system's reputation as the "Federation's Scalpel," capable of delivering surgical strikes in sectors where conventional tube artillery proved ineffective.

The [b]The MPFS-A "Vörðr"[/b] (pronounced as Vorthr) is a highly mobile, wheeled multiple launch rocket system optimized for "shoot-and-scoot" operations. Built on a KVZ GR-30 6x6 chassis, it features a modular packet loading system that allows for rapid ammunition replenishment and multi-mission adaptability in the field. The launcher is fully integrated into the Federation's tactical network via the proprietary DPKK datalink, enabling instant coordinate reception and fire execution within seconds of halting. The system supports a diverse family of munitions:
