Approved Vehicle T-3D Skimmer

[Torgath Warsaw]

"The T-3D Skimmer is an experimental vehicle designed after heavy repulsor tanks on the open-market. While it is not considerably powerful on its own in direct combat with some of the more advanced models such as those from Breshig War Forge or Jaeger Industries. Its armament and shielding is more than sufficient for planetary defense forces and those individuals outfitting private armies across the galaxy. ." --- Dr. Torgath Warsaw ​

• Advanced Defensive Systems:
  • Equipped with a combination of ablative plating, reinforced shielding, and advanced electronic warfare capabilities, the T-3D Skimmer provides a solid defense against a wide range of threats. Its shielding system, which includes particle and concussion barriers, along with electronic countermeasures, enhances its survivability on the battlefield, making it suitable for frontline engagements even against moderately advanced weaponry.
• Limited Direct Combat Power:
  • While the T-3D Skimmer is sufficiently armed for planetary defense forces, it lacks the firepower and advanced systems found in more sophisticated models from competitors like Breshig War Forge and Jaeger Industries.

The inception of the T-3D Skimmer can be traced back to a growing demand for versatile and cost-effective military vehicles among various factions and private contractors in the galaxy. This demand intensified in the wake of numerous conflicts that highlighted the inadequacies of existing light tanks, particularly their inability to adapt to rapidly changing battlefield conditions and the diverse needs of planetary defense forces.

Dr. Torgath Warsaw a noted engineer within the Galactic Trade Federation, recognized this gap in the market while observing the performance of heavy repulsor tanks during skirmishes on various worlds. He envisioned a new type of vehicle that would blend the agility and speed of light tanks with the defensive capabilities of heavier models.

The team focused on creating a vehicle that would not just meet the needs of the Galactic Trade Federation but also appeal to the open market, where private armies and defense forces sought affordable yet effective options. After several prototypes and extensive testing in various conditions, the T-3D Skimmer was finally unveiled to the public.

The initial response was mixed; while some praised its adaptability and defensive capabilities, others pointed out its limitations in terms of firepower compared to established competitors. Nevertheless, the vehicle quickly found its niche among smaller factions and planetary defense forces that valued versatility and cost-effectiveness over sheer power.
