Empire of Dreams
A vehicle design inspired by Lizard back in October 1998, but far be it from me not to take advantage of good inspiration and gorgeous artwork. ;-)
Matchoka Vehicles is a company which dates back to the Century of Fire, possibly even earlier. It makes vehicles - from personal hovercars to massive bulk transport cruisers. It is very weak in military vehicles, however, with only one of its designs in common use: the MK-78B Overrunner Fast Fusion Tank.
Vehicle is TL12, except where noted.
Subassemblies and Body Features: Body (Bo), full-traverse turret (Tu), pod (Po), three retractable skids (Sk). Superior streamlining. Armor slope on Body: 60 degrees front, 30 degrees right, 30 degrees left, 30 degrees back. Armor slope on Turret: 60 degrees front, 30 degrees right, 30 degrees left.
Propulsion and Aerostatic Lift: Two ruggidized fusion air-rams, each 80,000 pounds thrust (body, HP 300). Contragravity generator with 150,000 pounds lift (Body, HP 14, 150 KW).
Weaponry: One 133mm low-power gravitic cannon (TuF, HP 75, 3300 KW per shot). One 25,000 Kj output CPB (TuF, HP 15, 50,000 KW per shot). One 25,000 Kj output CPB (BoF, HP 15, 50,000 KW per shot). Eight tube 220mm misslee launcher (Po). Twenty (20) rounds APFSDSHD, fifty (50) rounds HEAT, and fifty (50) rounds SAPHE ammo for gravcannon (Tu, HP 50). Eight 220mm SAPHE missiles (Po, HP 18 each) and launcher (Po, HP 50).
Weapon Accessories: Gravcannon is fully stabilized (Tu, HP 16) in a cyberslave mount (Tu, HP 75), primary CPB is fully stabilized (Tu, HP 4) in a cyberslave mount (Tu, HP 18), secondary CPB is fully stabilized (Tu, HP 4) in a cyberslave mount (Tu, HP 18), anti-blast magazine for 133mm gravcannon ammo, anti-blast magazine for 220mm missiles and launcher (Po).
