The scientist caste saw this as an opportunity to create a new cavalry vehicle, which they called the '''Bellona'''. Designed as a striker and flanker, the Bellona carries enough firepower on a nimble enough frame to keep up with even the fastest-advancing lines.<ref name=TRO128>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 128</ref> The original specs called for tracks, but test pilots for the vehicle cited that "speed is armor", which led to the Bellona being redesigned as a hovertank. The vehicle has eight tons of armor to protect the hull and motive systems.<ref name=TRO128 /> Coming off production lines on [[Tiber (Clan system)|Tiber]] in the [[Kerensky Cluster]], a large number were sent through the long chain of [[JumpShip]]s to front-line [[Cluster]]s fighting trials against [[Clan Wolf]] in the early 3070s.<ref name=TRO128 /> The vehicle has been seen in combat operations with variety of factions in [[Inner Sphere]] as late as the mid-3130s. ==Weapons and Equipment== The main gun is a Type 9 Ultra-Class 10 Autocannon with two tons of ammunition. It is mounted with two Type 14b Flamers in its turret. To deal with unarmored infantry, the vehicle has a pair of Series HL-II Light Machine Guns in its nose and one for each of its left and right sides.<ref name=TRO128 /> ==Variants== *;Laser : To reduce ammunition dependency, the autocannon and one Flamer are dropped for an [[Extended Range Large Laser]] and an [[LRM-10]]. Although the LRM is still ammunition hungry, it is primarily for harassment. The variant was still on the drawing board as of [[3075]].<ref name=TRO128 /> BV (2.0) = 1,262<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged'', p. 102</ref>, 1,270<ref>''Record Sheets: 3075 Unabridged - The Cutting Edge'', p. 247</ref> *;Bellona XL : This variant is based on the Laser model.
