Chatham MBT
Overview

Yorian military thinking seems to be influenced in part by that of the Sword Worlds Confederation. As such the Chatham MBT is light on sensors, relying on data from forward observers, deployed sensors and recon drones.

The Chatham main battle tank sports a turret (with a fusion gun) and an enclosed rear section. To save redesigning the power plant the main weapon has its own fusion plant which is located in the enclosed rear section, along with the gunner's station. The VRF Gauss Gun is mounted inside the front hull and has a limited firing arc.

The MBTs of the 50th Battalion have all been equiped with point defense modules as an experiment.
