The tank is based on the [[Age of War]] [[Augustus A-3 Tank]], Brooks took the ancient design and updated it for the needs of the Duchy.  The tank began production in [[3076]], and has since been dispersed among the League forces on station in the Duchy.  Outside parties have inquired to Brooks for purchasing the tank for their forces.  Brook Inc's has forwarded these requests to the government offices for approval.<ref name="JHS:3076p111"/>
