M6 Gryphon MBT

Overview

The Gryphon is a general purpose grav fighting vehicle (designated here as a Main Battle Tank) manufactured in large quantities in the frontier regions of the Imperium. A reliable design, it was standard with the Imperial forces when they were equipped at TL13, and the data package is now generally available. With space rated armor and computers, the Gryphon is capable of combat from a planetary surface out to orbit, and can be launched from orbit for a planetary assault operation.

Armament is laid out "over and under", with the pulse laser in a remote turret on the upper surface of the vehicle, and the fusion gun in a turret on the lower surface. The two 5MW beam laser are mounted on the sides, and are intended for antipersonnel use.
