Description:
With the finalization of the contract signed, the teams at KSLH Corporation went to work on the assault tank. Having several miscellaneous blueprints in varying stages for future merchandise - they picked certain ideas to incorporate into this tank. By the request of the client - they wanted a tank that could fight hard on the battlefield thus the birth of the "Brawler."
The tank could be used in several different roles but only one realistically stood out. The assault tank was designed to add firepower on the field of battle. With three different canon types, it could direct concentrated fire on a single target or fire on three separate targets. The quad laser mounted on the left side could also double as an anti-ship canon but since the tank has no auto tracking capabilities - it must rely on the gunner's ability to hit flying targets.
The Brawler's shielding is the chempat shield generator. The shield was originally designed for starships and fighters - but the teams at KSLH were able to tweak the shield. However the shield was not full proof - meaning that when the tank fired it's main cannon the shielding grew weaker. It did not fully dissipate only growing weaker allowing the tank to be slightly more vulnerable than with full shield capacity. To help counter this weakness - a smoke launcher was installed to help "hide" the tank from line-of-sight vision but not from sensors.
For an assault tank it has poor speed - but with legs rather than wheels or tracks the tank could move through most terrains. The legs were powerful enough to avoid getting stuck in swampy, snowy, or muddy soils. However - the legs worked on a hydraulic system so in the event one of the lines was severed or destroyed the tank would lose one functioning appendage. This would not stop the tank from moving but it would absolutely hamper both speed and maneuverability significantly.
