The Clan Scientists used their influence pushed to have Benson and Bjorn to produce what would be an unpopular ground vehicle among garrison forces. The resulting design would be regarded as being so bad, that Benson and Bjorn would have issue civilian [[Trial of Refusal]] pitting one company's [[Axel IIC]] tanks against ''Vidar'' to prove its inferiority. Slow and sluggish Vidar would soon lose to nimbler Tank, cementing its bad reputation. − Feeling threatened by the superiority of native Rasalhagian-designed [[Clan]]-tech combat vehicles and tanks developed in the latter half of the [[Jihad]], [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|the Clan ''touman'']] solicited bids for a low-cost defensive tank to supplement the massive [[Mars (Combat Vehicle)|Mars]] and [[Huitzilopochtli]]. The loss of honor forced the Clan Ghost Bear [[Scientist Caste]] to respond, pulling strings to get the Vidar accepted and using their ties with the [[Merchant Caste]] to force an unwilling Benson and Bjorn to manufacture it. The resulting design would be regarded as being so bad that Benson & Bjorn would have an unsanctioned civilian [[Trial of Refusal]] pitting one of the company's [[Axel#Variants|Axel IIC]] tanks against the Vidar to prove its inferiority, defeating it within five minutes. This cemented its bad reputation among the mostly Rasalhagian crews forced to pilot it. The Vidar would finally prove its worth in battle against pirates attacking the Dominion world of [[Porthos]].<ref name=TRP-78/>+ The Vidar is a slow tank, using inexpensive 150 rated [[Fuel Cell]] engine to propel it barely above 30 kph.
