Variants:
The Royal Kanga hover jump tank was the final development of this design by the Star League
and only saw minimal deployment before its fall. Exchanging the weighty ICE engine for a
fusion power core enabled the engineers to replace the type 5 autocannon with the
experimental snub-nose PPC, which did not quite have the extended range of the autocannon,
but packed an equivalent punch at its long-range bracket, and inflicted even more damage as
the tank closed in on its targets. Additionally, three two-packs of short-range missiles
feeding from a single ton of reloads covered the sides and rear of the tank; which were
blind spots on the original model. The lift and thrust capability of the jump jet system was
improved, making it possible for the design to make leaps of up to 210 meters at a time in
this new version, and the armor protection was improved by switching the standard armor
plate for ferro-fibrous plating. This new model only saw deployment in a few select units
prior to the fall of the Star League, so it’s not really known just how many were
manufactured before the fall.
