Description
The Korvin Tank was built in the early 2300s around the Large Laser, which had recently been developed by the Terran Hegemony and copied by the Capellan Confederation. The penetrating power of the energy weapon was second to none at the time and it gave the Korvin a powerful edge as even most combat vehicles were ill-prepared for it. The Korvin did not age well. As armor became better and a single blast from its signature weapon was no longer enough to penetrate to the internal structure, the Korvin was not as successful, so it was relegated to garrison duty. Wu Industries attempted to bring it back with a new model in 2430. The average design was not able to save the company, which failed in 2612.[2]
The Fusion Engine that was needed to power the laser also gave the Korvin an edge as it was lighter than Internal Combustion Engine. It gave the tank enough power to get up to 86 km/h. Eight tons of armor provide reasonable protection for the vehicle.[3]
Armament
The signature Wu Heavy Laser is mounted in the Korvin's turret alongside a Longbow LRM-10. Five Browning Large Caliber Machine Guns protect all sides of the tank from infantry.[2]
Variants
- KRV-2 – An older model, the KRV-2 was slower and less well-protected as almost all of its components were heavier. In addition, the new laser needed almost constant attention, as did the Fusion Engine, leading to higher crew requirements.[2] BV (1.0) = ??, BV (2.0) = 647
