Intent: To create a standard ground tank for the Omega Protectorate.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Fondor Terratech
Model: Hoplite-class repulsortank
Affiliation: Omega Protectorate
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-produced
Material: Durasteel alloy
Role: Main battle tank, anti-armour
Height: 4.4 metres
Length: 8.7 metres
Width: 4.8 metres
Weight: 45.1 tons
Propulsion: Repulsorlift
Top Speed: 330 km/h
Armaments: Heavy laser cannon turret, quad blaster cannon
Passenger Capacity: 2
Cargo Capacity: 650 kg
Misc. Equipment: Dual shield generator
The Hoplite-class was created in response to Omega's lack of a viable primary ground defence platform. A light, mobile platform, dedicated less to its armour and more to the power of the shield generators it mounts, the Hoplite-class is armed only with a single heavy laser cannon, unlike most repulsortanks that field either dual medium or dual heavy laser cannons due to the shields' power requirements. As such, it falls closer to the medium class than the heavy class, making it a viable mass-production unit for Omega's needs. Produced in large numbers and deployed in units of four, the Hoplite-class is able to deploy into most battlefields and engage heavy opponents using speed over attrition.
