The Bison is an armored personnel carrier of the United Nations Space Command, primarily utilized by the UNSC Army and colonial defense forces.

Specifications

Bisons are versatile, light armored vehicles that served as combat elements in a number of roles, including armored personnel carrier and recovery vehicle.

Operational history

Bisons served as combat elements of the old Colonial Military Authority and it remained in service with several UNSC Army units and local militias such as the Sedran Colonial Guard.

Between 2531 and 2537, Serina designed a Bison with a vacuum energy siphon, scientific instrumentation, and cryotech weaponry. As there are no Bisons aboard the UNSC Spirit of Fire, Isabel looked at improving and repurposing the siphon with her own research data on Forerunner vacuum energy cells, but the delicacy and intricacy of Serina's manufacturing template complicates this effort.
