Description
Founded by Richard Chaplain shortly after the advent of internal combustion, Chaplain automotives are one of the oldest manufacturers of cars and other self powered land vehicles in the world, continuing to hold a reputation for reliable and robust designs to this day. Due to their age, they were also some of the first to experiment with tank production, supplying the Coalition with its earliest armoured vehicles. While these models proved effective, they have struggled to keep up with the times, preferring to improve tried and tested vehicles over designing new ones; having somewhat fallen out of favour as a result. Nevertheless, when a vehicle needs to survive and endure where few others could, Chaplain always deliver.
