Description
The Chevalier Light Tank was produced by and for the Star League. The Succession Wars devastated the stores of the Chevalier as the Successor States often cannibalized them for parts. Only Millennium Industries of Terra continued to produce the design, and that was snapped up by ComStar. Though the top speed is only 97 km/h, it is still respectable for a wheeled vehicle. It is protected by six and a half tons of armor.
Armament
Though the Chevalier's armament is weak compared to modern designs, it has an extremely ammunition-efficient design, allowing it to stay in the fight for longer than other vehicles from the same weight class. For long range, it mounts an ER Large Laser in its turret. A pair of front-mounted Streak SRM-2 allow it to exploit any holes it may have made in an opponent's armor.
Variants
- Probe - This variant that is popular with the Explorer Corps removes armor to mount additional components. It adds a Beagle Active Probe and a Machine Gun. BV (1.0) = 431
- Speed - In use with the 31st Division of the ComGuard, this variant speeds the Chevalier up to a top speed of 119 km/h. In order to accomplish this, it had to remove two tons of armor and one of the missile launchers. BV (1.0) = 140
