==Description==
The '''Demon''' medium tank was created by the [[Republic of the Sphere]], given the same name as the old [[Demon (Combat Vehicle)|SLDF Demon combat vehicle]] to give the crews a sense of history and esprit de corps.  The new version of the Demon has twice the speed of the original and is fifteen tons lighter. Originally the vehicle was designed for urban combat, with anti-battle armor and anti-infantry roles in mind.<ref name=DADossiers7>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 7: "Alec Denner"</ref>

The Demon medium tank was created at the same time as the [[M1 Marksman|M1 Marksman tank]], and the vehicle was considered inferior to other contemporary designs by its crews.<ref>''Ghost War'', p. 158</ref>

After the HPG [[Blackout]] in [[3132]], fighting broke out within Republic of the Sphere. Many of these vehicles found themselves in hands of the splinter militias fighting over Republic territory.<ref name=DADossiers7/>

== Weapons and Equipment ==

After the HPG Blackout in [[3132]], fighting within Republic of the Sphere broke out. Many of these vehicles found themselves in hands of these militia factions whom appeared just after blackout.  The vehicle was noted for its manuverablity and being able to out pace units while in city.<ref>Swordsworn Sgt. Alec Denner's Dosser - Commentary: Fighting on Addicks's Saint Randall showed Demon Medium Tank's ablity to outrun capital city's defenders.</ref>
The tank is armed with two medium pulse lasers in the turret, while a pair of light machine guns and vehicle flamers covers the front arc. A half-ton of ammunition is provided for the light machine guns, while the two vehicle flamers get a ton of ammo.<ref name="TRO:3085p24+"/>
 
  
== Variants ==

==Armament==
*;Brigadier Corporation : Produced on [[Oliver]] by the [[Brigadier Corporation]] this variant of the Demon Medium Tank had a completely different weapons load. Focusing purely on the anti-infantry and anti-battlesuit role, Brigadier's Demon was equipped with a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s, a pair of [[Vehicle Flamer]]s, and a pair of Machine Guns. Each of these weapons was particularly devastating to the [[Word of Blake]] forces that faced them, but were eventually replaced. BV (2.0) = 454<ref name="TRO:3085p24+"/>
+
The tank is armed with two [[BlazeFire]] Longshot Extended Medium Lasers and four [[GM]] [[Machine Gun|Miniguns]] with half ton ammunition.
  
*;Rifle carrier : This variant introduced in [[Introduction Year::3084]]<ref name="MUL2"/> of the Demon was designed to provide additional fire support. Instead of missiles or autocannon however, it uses a single [[Medium Rifle]] with two tons of ammunition. Though not particularly effective against modern armor, the rifle is more than adequate to smash enemy infantry formations. It also adds an extra half-ton of armor.<ref name="TRO:3085p24+"/> BV (2.0) = 386<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 24</ref><ref name="MUL2">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3610/yasha-vtol-spectre/ MUL online data for the Demon Medium Tank (Rifle) variant]''</ref>
+
==Notes==
 
+
Demon Medium Tank background fiction can only be found on defunct Wizkids Mechwarrior Dark Age website. Though no year of introduction is given, however the M1 Markman's background information that appeared in first publication of Mechwarrior Dark Age novel Ghost War mentions the vehicle was introduced same time as M1. The M1 was introduced in [[3083]].
*;Armor upgrade : This variant introduced in [[Introduction Year::3100]]<ref name="MUL3"/> of the Demon replaces the Medium Pulse Lasers with ER Medium Lasers, and drops the Flamers and Light Machine Guns, replacing them with a quartet of regular [[Machine Gun]]s. The weight freed by this weapon redesign is devoted to extra armor.<ref name="TRO:3145p209">''Technical Readout: 3145'', p. 209: "New Tech New Upgrades - Vehicles"</ref> BV (2.0) = 636<ref>''Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades'', p. 45</ref><ref name="MUL3">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/3610/yasha-vtol-spectre/ MUL online data for the Demon Medium Tank (Armor) variant]''</ref>
