==Description==
The '''Scimitar Medium Hover Tank''' is very similar to the [[Saracen]]. Following the success of that [[combat vehicle]], [[Scarborough Limited]] designed another pair of tanks with the same chassis to capitalize on sales. Their plan was successful, and Scarborough had another hit on their hands, five years after the release of the Saracen.<ref name=TROR40>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', p. 40</ref>

*;TAG : This [[3050]] upgrade to the Scimitar does not use the autocannon. In its place were a variety of systems. A [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] spotting laser was included to guide missiles and [[Arrow IV Artillery]] homing shells. The missile launchers were upgraded to paired [[SRM-4]]s, enhanced by an onboard [[Narc Missile Beacon]]. The remaining ton is added to the armor plating.
