==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Cizin''' is a hover tank developed by [[Clan Nova Cat]] during the last years of the [[thirty-first century]]. Designed to be fast and hard hitting, the Cizin is capable of demolishing opponents with its intermediate and close-range firepower.
+
The '''Cizin''' is a hover vehicle design that first appeared during the [[Dark Age]] period. While its exact specifications are unknown, it is a fast, mobile hover vehicle with a predominantly energy-based weapons payload. Its size is comparable with medium tank designs.  Cosmetic detailing on the Cizin, including its cockpit design and neo-gothic architecture, point to its [[Clan Nova Cat]] origins.<ref>[http://www.ccgrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522377 Wizkids (archived)- Elements of Style: Clan Nova Cat]:  Confirmation of design origins</ref>
  
After the political fallout of the [[Second Combine-Dominion War]], the Nova Cats would be forced to sell the design to [[Clan Sea Fox]], where they would put the vehicle into production at their own production facilities on [[Itabaiana]]. Only later by permission of the [[Draconis Combine]], the Nova Cats would be permitted to resume production on a limited basis at their own production facilities on [[Irece]] in 3120.
+
The Cizin is named after the Mayan god of earthquakes and death.  
 
+
==Armament==
The vehicle would be effectively used during Clan Nova Cat's uprising and would become accepted to Draconis Combine's own forces after the Clan's demise. LAW would then add additional production facilities for the Cizin on [[Luthien]] by [[3145]].
+
The Cizin mounts four weapons of an unknown type on a turret mount. These weapons are similar in style and design to the Dark Age era [[Shadow Cat]]'s laser mountsIt also sports a pair of missile launchers, one on each side of its main body.

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
Powered by a Clan Consolidated 215-Rated XL Fusion Engine, the power plant allows the Cizin to outmaneuver many of its opponents. Its hull is protected by 7 tons of Clan Nova Cat's [[ferro-fibrous|Alpha Compound Ferro-Fibrous]] armor, which is focused mainly in its front with modest armoring found in the turret and its sides while benefiting from integrated [[CASE]] protection.
 
 
 
Most of the Cizin's firepower comes from four Series 2d Extended-Range Medium Lasers found in the tank's turretBacking up the turret weapons is pair of 2-tubed Pattern D-II SRM Launchers mounted in its front with 1 ton of ammunition.  The turreted energy weapons are all tied in to a [[Targeting Computer]] mounted in the main body.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 18–19, 70: Cizin - BV2</ref>
 
  
 
==Variants==
 
==Variants==
*; Support : Designed for long-range engagements, the Support variant was introduced in [[3124]]. Its main weapon is a turreted [[ER Large Laser]] guided by the tank's Targeting Computer. A single [[Streak LRM-15]] mounted in the front with sixteen volleys worth of fire. The Tank's protection is augmented by an [[ECM Suite]], allowing to act as a [[Star (Formation)|Star]]'s electronic warfare support.
