The '''Pilum Heavy Tank''' is a product of Valiant Vehicles of [[Johnsondale]], as a new combat vehicle for the [[Federated Commonwealth|Federated Commonwealth's]] [[AFFC|Armed Forces]]. Valiant Vehicles created the vehicle based on the success of its [[Striker (Combat Vehicle)|Striker]] Missile Vehicle.  Initially introduced in [[3058]], the vehicle received criticism for its chassis, which is based on a wheeled configuration instead of the more traditional tracked option.  The company had experienced production problems in its first production run.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3058'' p. 80 - Original Pilum Heavy Tank fluff.</ref>

The tank saw deployment to the AFFC's and later AFFS' frontline units. Many among those who received the tank liked its speed and maneuverability. These qualities proved their effectiveness when the tank was deployed against the Clans and during the [[FedCom Civil War]].  Notable use of the Pilum was with the [[Eighth Crucis Lancers ]] during their last stand on [[Proserpina]] in March [[3066]].  Pilums were used to great effect in combination with other tank assets of the 8th Crucis in their fight with [[Draconis Combine|Draconis Combine]] forces.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'' p. 108</ref>
