==Overview:==
The Sturmtiger was created to fulfill what was percieved to be a need among
the Lyran military: a light-end artillery piece. A number of military
commanders had been demanding such an item, as their towed Thumper cannons
were often ineffective and heavier self-propelled pieces couldn't keep pace
with the rest of the unit. 

The Sturmtiger itself is a blocky tank, due in part to its useage of heavy
ferro fibrous armor. The decision was made to use this armor so that the tank
would not be quite so vulnerable in the event that battle armor or other such
units managed to make it back and attack the vehicle.

In the center of the chassis is a Sniper cannon and two tons of ammo, allowing
the tank to continuously fire for just over three minutes without running dry.
Its position in the center means that it has the bulk of the armor wrapped
around it. 

A pair of medium lasers is mounted in a turret located on top of the chassis.
Medium lasers are a good multi-purpose weapon, and so will allow the tank to
defend itself. 

==Variants:==
It's been proposed that one of the medium lasers be dropped in favor of a
flamer, allowing the tank to deal with infantry in the event that such units
show up. 

==Deployment==
The Sturmtiger is being issued to units on the border with the Jade Falcons
and in the Chaos March; other units who have requested lighter self-propelled
units will get them later.
