Intent: This submission will make use of the Rosebush weapon system in a non-aerial platform for the first time and is meant to be a multi-role juggernaut of anti-air/anti-armor
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Ri'ess Regal Drives
Model: Scion-Class Anti-Air/Anti-Armor Super-Heavy Battle Tank
Affiliation: The Confederacy of Independent Systems
Modularity: Modular Loadout, Optional Miscellaneous Equipment
Production: Limited (200)
Material: Ceramic Ablative Plating, Durasteel Chassis & Armor, Terenthium-Desh Suspension Rig, Misc. Component Metals and Compounds
Description: Packing approximately 25.4 cm. of armor with ablative reactive plating included and weighing in at around 80 tons, the Scion SHBT is a colossal armored vehicle. It's primary gun and secondary turret options are both anti-air focused, however the Rosebush can be loaded with RRDI's patented Umbra I-AT munition which allows the tank to conversely take an anti-armor role. Connected to the main gun turret is also another turret mounted on a mechanical swivel. The secondary turret has several options; an air burst missile rack for high trajectory ground attacks, a concussion missile silo for anti-air, and an internally man-operated rotary blaster cannon turret. All of these weapons are readily available to be swapped out with each other when not in combat, requiring minimal tools and effort, and an engine lift. Production is heavily limited as RRDI's primary facilitation is devoted to the production of spacecraft and vehicle weapon systems, and maintenance costs are high due to radical design aspects.
