Designed at the wake of the [[Victoria War]], the '''Hanse''' Main Battle Tank is an early [[thirty-second century]] Combat Vehicle originally produced for the armed forces of the [[Federated Suns]].  The [[AFFS]] commissioned the creation of the tank using the lessons the service had learned from the conflict. However, despite the best of intentions, the Hanse MBT would end up having a significant flaw in its overall good design. Though it had the firepower to eradicate enemy units it confronted, the vehicle lacked the critical flexibility of a turret that would have brought those weapons to bear more quickly.  This flaw made the tank highly vulnerable to flanking attacks as well as [[battle armor]] attacks.
