• Fast The vehicle is capable of high speeds thanks to its tracked nature at the cost of turning speed.
• Armored Despite the average weight, the vehicle does come with commendable armor for its purpose.
• Fangs Carrying a dedicated main gun and a coaxial laser cannon, this vehicle is a worthy fight on its own.

• Limited The tank cannot engage much larger targets given its limited weapons and armor except to make a buy for time.
• Coating and Alloy While the outer coating provides a decent camouflage pattern that adapts and the alloy blend provides low grade scanner avoidance, they are only small measures to make the vehicle less noticeable.

Another dive into providing for the Priddy General Security Contractors in the form of a dedicated fast response tank.

While not able to store any cargo, the vehicle's design is more centered around getting a heavier weapon to the front with speed. Aiding infantry with heavier targets and possibly taking action to engage larger targets to distract them, the Fast Response Tank is made for supporting firepower on the move rather than dedicated brawling attempts. The armor, while capable, likely would break against more dedicated tank units or heavy weapons emplacements. With this in mind, the traverse capabilities of the weapon were maximized, allowing the vehicle to function as impromptu artillery in case of shifting circumstances. A driver sits in the foremost section of the vehicle, commanding a clear view of the path ahead. The gunner is situated behind and right of the driver manning the main gun with a switch enabling coaxial control of the roof mounted laser cannon. A commander sits behind the driver and to the left operating the coms as well as the coaxial laser cannon when it is not engaged by the gunner. All occupants have clear vision capabilities via the viewports in the hatch each one has available to them.

With satisfactory requirements met for the vehicle, the schematics were uploaded to the PGEM system and ready for production.
