Designer Notes
The Visigoth has been the Southern Republic's mainstay workhorse for close to three generations. The tank is well liked by all who serve with it and has been part of almost all the major battles fought by the Republic since it entered service in TN 1786. Commissioned in 1779, its history is fraight with political battles and backroom power plays. Military historians will remember the Erbenstein Scandal, which resulted in the dishonorable discharge of Consol Joseph-Frencoix Erbenstein for fraud, treason, and conflict of interest in the weapons contracts surrounding the Visigoth. The Consul has exerted political muscle to ensure that the contract for the main gun on the Visigoth would be assigned to a company in which he had invested a great deal of his fortune. Unfortunately, due to counter-machinations from his political enemies, Compact Weaponry was revealed to be a company partially owend by several Norlight investors.

Most of the Visigoth's lower functions are processed by its automated systems, leaving the important decision-making to the two-man crew. The wide and low hull is carried on independently powered twin sets of treads. The driver compartment is completely armored and information about the vehicle's surroundings are sensor-fed to the driver. The tank's main armament is composed of the 140mm MAGISTER II soft-recoil heavy field gun and a RFC-097 40mm rapid-fire autocannon for use against small targets. A sub-turret placed on the main turret houses a 15MW laser gun for area and anti-aircraft defense. The Visigoth's main weaknesses, aside from its dependency on electronic sensors, is its large signature on the radar.
