−	This tank is assigned only to highest-profile units within the [[LAAF]] and [[AFFS]] because of its expense and technologies it uses, such as the [[Lyran Guards]] in the [[Lyran Alliance|Alliance]] and [[Davion Brigade of Guards]] in the [[Federated Suns|Suns]].

The primary variant sports three [[ER medium laser]]s and a deadly [[Rotary AC/5]]. It can cripple any unit, 'Mech or armor.
