Designed around the Yutrane-Trackata T4-B platform, the T4-C heavy tank is intended to be an alternative to walkers and repulsorcraft with regards to engaging enemy heavy armor and structures. The tracked design allows for greater maneuverability than a walker while still allowing use on planets where repulsor fields cannot function. The T4-B fits a Mir hypermatter annihilation reactor, an easy task given its size, which powers the vehicle's mobility, weapons, and shielding. Armament-wise, the T4-C fits a twin turbolaser turret, giving it exceptional anti-armor power. To engage infantry and low-flying fighters and bombers, the T4-C also fits a tri-barrel general purpose missile launcher capable of using a wide variety of missile, torpedo, and other common ordnance types. This flexibility, combined with a relatively low cost per unit, is meant to encourage buyers to purchase the T4-C and utilize it in a variety of combat roles.
