Clan Rearmament Project | C-Class Vehicles
With industry devastated by the Wolf War but with an urgent need to rearm and prepare for REVIVAL the Clan Council instituted a series of crash programs to bulk out their touman. One of these was the standardization of combat vehicle designs to bulk out the Touman. Although the Clan’s manufactured a wide range of vehicle designs few made it past the selection panels with many being under protected and over gunned.
Instead, modifications were made to SLDF vehicles found within old Goliath Scorpion Brian Caches, these were then tested, and upgrades suggested. These upgrades would consist of upgrading the basic weaponry with the more easily manufactured ‘improved’ versions and use of more advanced ferro-fibrous armor that was rejected for Mech use by the Hell’s Horses.
While they were initially supposed to all be omni-vehicles for cost-efficiency only the Carnivore retained this characteristic as its large pod space gives it the best modularity and its 54 km/h speed is still a faster and smoother ride for an Elemental. This made the Chimera and Cuirass significantly cheaper as well ensuring that more could be produced and lost in battle if necessary.
Clan Star Adder also utilized a common drivetrain and engine with the Chimera to develop their Castellon drone command unit.

Maximum Speed: 54 kph
Armor: Heavy Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
2 Vehicular Grenade Launcher
2 Anti-Missile System
30.0 tons of pod space
Manufacturer: UPPS (United Pentagon Power Systems)
Primary Factory: Pentagon Worlds
REVIVAL Forward Factory: Castle Vannes Complex
Communication System: Carnivore Comm-trac
Targeting & Tracking System: Predator TOTS
Cost: 6,113,250 C-bills
Description – The Carnivore is the Clan’s standard assault tank, durable and reliable it frequently occupies the center of an armored column and delivers powerful, accurate long-range firepower. Its anti-missile systems and smoke grenade launchers provide limited protection from enemy fire. Even against Clan weaponry fifteen tons of heavy ferro-fibrous ensure it has incredible longevity.
Armed principally with ballistic weaponry in its primary configuration it is a mech killer.
When carrying a quartet of mortars, it can lay waste to formations of Elementals and conventional infantry from relative safety.
It can also mount a pair of Arrow IV tactical missile launchers and project power at extreme ranges.
With an abundance of pod space and a heavy turret the Carnivore can be reconfigured in the field to serve multiple battlefield roles.

Description – The Chimera is the Clan’s standard main battle tank, although it is little more than a Manticore IIC it is better protected than its original design. Due to this protection, enhanced by the Clantech Anti-Missile systems and smoke grenade launchers, and its mobility it is popular with crews who are provided with multiple options for targeting enemy units and supporting its Starmates on the advance behind thick but inexpensive armor.

Communication System: Cuirass C-Trac
Targeting & Tracking System: Gladius G-Band
Cost: 1,736,000 C-bills
Description – The Cuirass was initially developed as a low-cost replacement for the Chimera that would fit in smaller transport bays. With roughly half the cost but significantly less capability it serves principally in occupation clusters as part of a mechanized unit. Testing by Clan Hell’s Horses however has shown while it is less capable than the Chimera its greater speed does allow additional tactical options and so it was approved for front-line use as a flanker capable of enveloping an enemy formation or for raids on lightly defended targets.

Cost: 3,098,400 C-bills
Description – The Castellon is the culmination of Clan Star Adder’s long held dominance in the information battlespace. One of the few Clans to utilize extensive inventories of drones for attack, area control, reconnaissance, and utility because of fighting Clan Mongoose for centuries. The Star Adders based their Castellon on Hi-Scout Drone Carriers brought back by the Wolf’s Dragoons and sought to provide their Star Commanders with a single point of contact to activate and control the proper support assets from anywhere within an 80 sq-km area (sans satellite uplink) to handle whatever situation they might encounter.
With four drone control consoles and an extensive array of communications equipment the Star Adder’s can manage four M-class drones, monitor remote sensors, establish satellite uplinks, and are reasonably well-protected from enemy attack. The Castellon is also capable of fighting off light threats with its lasers and grenades, as well as intercepting enemy missiles with its anti-missile systems.
