Bear-Cat

The Bear-Cat is an incredibly robust heavy repulsor tank built by Trantek. The Bear-Cat is aerodynamically designed with a dorsal turret positioned towards the rear of the vehicle. The turret mounts a powerful X-10 heavy laser cannon, which is capable of bringing down some the heaviest opponents on today's modern battlefield. The Bear-Cat also has two forward firing lighter laser cannons which are used against smaller vehicles. The tank commander operates the turret, whilst the pilot operates the lighter lasers. The Bear-Cat has tough armour plating and a number of redundant operating systems, which allows it to shrug off most minor hits. Considering the amount of weight that the Bear-Cat carries, it is surprisingly fast and maneuverable. This is thanks to the powerful WH5 power plant and repulsor drive.

Many owners of the Bear-Cat believe that the high price tag is well worth the investment, due to its endurance. The Bear-Cat is mainly used by planetary defense forces, but a few have also been 'acquired' by the Alliance.
