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> − ==Weapons and Equipment== − The Scimitar mounts an autocannon and a pair of SRM launchers. The autocannon gives it the same range as the [[Saracen]], yet can be used at a closer range than the LRMs of the former machine. Splitting the SRMs into multiple launchers allowed the Scimitar crew to target multiple foes, as well as maintain some weapons capability when one launcher is damaged or jams. All of the weapons are mounted in a turret.<ref name=TROR40 /> − The [[Armstrong J11]] Autocannon/5 is an often used design. Mounted on such classics as the ''[[Clint]]'', the Scarborough engineers knew the weapon was already battle tested and would prove a reliable main cannon for their Scimitar.<ref name=TROR40 /><ref name=TROR41 /><ref name=TRO51 />+ ==Armament== − − The Guided Technologies SRM-2s were already being used by other Scarborough vehicles and provided a nice punch in a lightweight package.<ref name=TROR40 /><ref name=TROR41 /><ref name=TRO51 /> ==Variants== ==Variants== − *;Missile : This [[2957]] variant simply swaps the autocannon for an [[LRM-15]].

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.
