Description

The Nuberu Anti-Aircraft Tank is a post-Jihad design, which was developed jointly by Clan Snow Raven and Outworlds Alliance in early 3080s. After the end of the Jihad, pirate activity in the newly expanded Raven Alliance began to increase to point that the OA's armed forces were no longer able provide adequate aircover for its worlds' ground forces.

Based on the Partisan, the Nuberu use advanced technology to provide a greater air-defense capacity to both Clan and Alliance ground forces. Powered by a 180 Rated Fuel Cell engine, vehicle allows also but modest 54 kilometer per hour, keep pace with slower combat vehicles. Protecting its hull, Clan Scientists have added 9.5 tons of Clan Laser Reflective Armor.[5]
