==Overview:==
The Saigia was born from the need of an infantry fighting vehicle that could
stand up to many of the new weapons that were entering the battlefield but at
the same time not break the bank of many of the powers and factions needing
the unit could afford.

Seeing the chance to cash in on things and gain a larger share of the market
Freguerson Arms Ltd. of Marne began to push heavily the Saigia and their mass
market and media PR campaign was something no one had seen in a long time.

Hundreds of hours of test footage and combat ROM files were made public, using
their interest in many mercenary units they were able to get the combat
footage of the Saigia and it's brethen laying waste to many a rebel or pirate
base. Clashes between mercenaries on raids also had many of the hours of
Saigias battling it out against each other.

All of this played well for the company as orders prouded in and profits went
up. Sales are still strong and look to be for a long time.
