STRENGTHS

• Skakoan Army Knife : Utilized in its role as a main battle tank the newest variant of the 'Cataphracht' is a take all comers vehicle viable in most any ground combat scenario with a suit of systems and high caliber weaponry.
• "Pound em flat!": When the 'Cataphracht' is set down on its landing gear position it is fixed into a stabilized firing posiition - able to redirect all of its power to its armaments and defenses. The result being a stationary siege tank capable of dealing devastating damage whilst being immovably impenetrable.

WEAKNESSES

• Heavy Metal: With its advanced systems, power supply and heavy armament aboard the vehicle is weighed down with little cargo or crew room, leaving a cramped crew compartment and stingy cargo space typically leaving the crews to rely on external stowage compartments to hold their required tools and supplies.
• Bye! Bye bye!: With the Cataphract's sole purpose being ground combat it can find itself exposed to attacks from the air - its weaker top armor proving vulnerable to opposing airstrikes with few means of actually intercepting said airstrikes.

DESCRIPTION
Designed as an updated version to the incredibly successful XT-58, the XT-60a is a more privatized version of its Sith-Imperial counterpart, overhauling the repulsortank with better and upgraded armaments and internal systems whilst building upon the strengths of the previous model and partially mitigating the flaws of the XT-58 to create another addition to the line of battle proven main battle tanks.
