Description: The MACAU is one of the faster tanks in the Sith Empire's armoury, and it uses this speed and its laser cannon to wreak havoc on the battlefield, capable of running rings round most tanks due to the low weight of its primarily duraplast armour. This armour does make it weaker than most tanks, and it is susceptible to heat weapons which will melt its plating.
It also lacks an anti-infantry weapon, and is therefore more suited to destroy tanks of a similar size or fixed gun positions, which often have difficulty aiming at its small frame. The repulsorlifts that keep the tank afloat allow it to navigate hostile terrain, and it is suited for jungles and urban battlefields due to its small width and high speed.
