The Powell M-20 IFV was one of the last IFV's produced before the rifts and is in the same range as the Iron Maiden produced by Iron Heart. The two are very similar in design and weapon systems, and it is very probable that the Iron Maiden was based on the Powell M-20. Some of these infantry vehicles have managed to survive in hidden underground bunkers at old military bases scattered across the country. A few see service today in feudal kingdoms and mercenary groups.
