Caernarvic Main-Battle Tank
The Caernarvic Main-Battle Tank is the aptly named main-battle tank used by the The Tyrralorean Defense Initiative. The tank itself represents a careful, yet powerful balance of armor, armament, speed, mobility, and auxiliary functions in an effort to provide as many uses of the vehicle as possible while keeping costs down, allowing the Caernarvic to become mass-producible despite its technological sophistication. The tank comes in two variants, the Mk1, which is tracked, and the Mk2, which is P.U.L.S.E.-lifted. Below describes the P.U.L.S.E.-lifted, Mk2 variety, which has now fully replaced the tracked Mk1 variety.
