Mk-11 Tamarta
Originally classified as the AT-16 (Armored Tractor 16), this tank was reclassified as the Mk-11 with the organizational changes that came about post Southern Tandara Bush War. The first 1 in the Tamarta's designation indicates it as a light tank, the second 1 indicating it as the first of its class, and these tanks would continue to see use for a surprisingly long time in the upcoming Twelve Years War.
The Tamarta was named after its designer, Samel Tamarta, who created the tank to serve in the Southern Tandara Bush War.
