==Overview:==
Based heavily off of the Goblin infantry support tank, the Hobgoblin is,
larger and carriers heavier fire power as it helps to defend the Goblin IST.
Originally built on the same chassie in 3035 the Hobgoblin was intended to do
to much and never made it past the prototype stage. Later as the Goblin
earned fame the design was looked at several times for revival, each time it
was reshelved or renamed and given a new role. In 3060 one of the original
design members was hired on by NAIS Weapons LLC, as a consultant in the
factories vehicle design wing. when he went to the department head and
mentioned the Hobgoblin project the Department head went to up the ladder to
see about aquireing the blueprints and rights to produce the vehicle. By 3061
NAIS had the rights and was methodically taking the vehicle apart and putting
it back together again.
==Capabilities:==
The designers started by removing and replaceing the cargo hold, this had a
two fold effect by freeing up some much needed tonage and allowed for roomier
cockpit and fire controls. Second the weapon systems were removed and replaced
with NAIS equilivents, the designers also opted to add a second of the Large
Pulse lasers to the turret along with 2 4 tube streak short range missle
systems with one ton of ammo. Rounding out the weapons are a pair of Flamers
supported by a ton of ammo each.
When all was said and done the designers were extremely impressed that they
were able to get all of that on such a light chassie. Then they tried to move
it. With the current armor and weapon systems they had a vehicle that was
little more than a pill box. So heading back to the drawing board they looked
at different ways to keep the weapons load out and armor the same and make the
unit fast enough to keep up with its sibling. After several tries they opted
to use the chassie from a 60 ton vehicle and armor it accordingly. Much to the
delight of the design team the Hobgoblin was born.
After the chassie refit the designers still felt the tank was a little short
on armor and added nearely 9 tons of Heavy Ferro Fibrous, and a Beagle active
probe, A guardian was initally slated to be added as well but was later
scrapped due to weight restrictions.
==Variants:==
One Varient has been suggested that removes a Streak system and replaces it
with the Guardian. A third replaces all of the secondary weapons, adds a
targeting comp and Guardian combo. It is unclear which design will be the most
popular.
==Deployment==
Currentely undergoing extensive testing at NAIS headquarters.
