December 29, 3065 – Kressly Warworks has purchased two blueprints for two tanks from the Star League era from Word of Blake, and now they own the sole rights of distribution. No one is making them for centuries.
Lightning Hover Tank – Originally made in 2696. We’ll be making an RL variant that uses Rocket Launchers, innovated in the periphery, and used with frequency in the alied powers, including Blake, Capella, Taurian Concordat and Magistracy. 7 15 missile rocket launchrs, and two anti-missile systems. 35 ton, 11/17 hover vee, with 62 point sof armor (light), 1,882,750 CBills and 709 BV.
Beagle Hover Tank – First made in 2666, this 15 ton reconnaissance vehicle has a Beagle Active probe, 1 medium laser, small laser, 12/18 movement, and 53 points of armor. 602,875 CBills. BV of 335. We are also making a variant for Blake-only that has a C3i for them.
We are making 3 Lightnings a month and 2 Beagles a month for us and 2 a month for Blake.
The Beagle will give us a very good version of a typical Savannah Master scout hover vee, with the beagle probe as a nice touch. And the Lightning is highly unusual. A rocket launcher is a one-shot weapon, and it this case, fires 15 missiles, unaimed. Is has 7, and that gives it a strong quick strike and retreat profile (the original Lightning was the same, with one-shot SRM launchers, and this is much better with that goal).
We know tanks, and we have the blueprints. We expect to have these coming off the lines in a year.
