Description:
When a certain Sithling reached an appropriate age, she began to inspect the ships, vehicles and weapons of the Confederacy. She found a lack of high speed, and highly mobile attack forces. Aiming to fix this, she pushed the CIS armory and droid makers to begin working on the next generation of CIS repulsorlift tanks. This artillery was created to help in hit and run missions, as well as rapid response to changing battle conditions. Its able to get into an area faster, be more maneuverable, and set up in a fraction of the time.
Sadly, its defensive ability was sacrificed for this new found speed and convenience, and it was nearly defenseless against air strikes. It overcame this, by using an advanced matrix that allowed the groups to work more effectively when they were together, and they were almost always escorted by Hailfire droids.
