Description
Created for the Star League Defense Force in 2680 as part of need for mobile fire support. The SLDF's Quartermaster Command was responsible for choicing this design due to its excellent armor protection & its advance CASE protection system. Which allows the crew & vehicle to survive ammunition explosion, the QC felt it worth the cost. The vehicle was critized initially for being limited due to its Wheeled configuration.
In 2735, Brooks Incorporated created a cheap knock-off of the Thor, named Thumper.[1]
Armament
The vehicle mounts a 15 ton Thumper Artillery Piece with 40 rounds of ammunition. For self-defense purposes, the vehicle has two Medium Lasers mounted on a elevated turret just above the main body.
Variants
- Thor Artillery Vehicle (C3i) - Armed with only the Thumper Artillery Piece, with 40 rounds. The vehicle is enhanced with C3i network computer to allow better accuracy.
- Thor Artillery Vehicle (Clan) - Equipt with Clan technology, with Thumper Artillery piece with same number of rounds. It features two Clan ER Medium Lasers mounted in the overhang turret.
Vehicle Notes
Not mention in the initial article, the Marksman article in Technical Readout: 2750 mentions Thor fullname to be Thor Armored Fighting Vehicle.[2]
