| Designer Notes |
| The Klemm, named after a famous Terranovan officer of the early days of the Norlight Confederacy, is the main CNCS light battle tank. They were commissioned in TN 1798 by the Norlight Armed Forces to intimidate the two neighboring leagues (UMF and WFP) to avoid confrontations, and initially designed by Variance Industries. The latter only manufactured 200 units before selling them to the Norlight army and transferring all manufacturing rights to a new branch of Variance, Norlight Industries, which was partially owned by the Norlight government. While it was never proven, there were always strong suspicions that Variance (whcih went bankrupt in TN 1881) had been coerced into selling the rights to the Klemm; it never received other contracts from the NLC and never prospered as it should rightfully have. Since its first production run, there have been two revisions to the Klemm's design, one to improve its fire control system (in TN 1820) and another one to upgrade its internal electronics (in TN 1878). There have been discussions of another overhaul of the Klemm during the coming cycles, particularly with the re-emergence of North-South tensions, but budgets may not allow for it. |
