−	== Description ==	+	==Description==
−	The '''Ajax Assault Tank''' is an Omni-capable [[combat vehicle]] that is the followup to [[GM]]'s [[Challenger]] X MBT. The Ajax follows on the heels of the successful [[Manteuffel]] [[OmniVehicle]]. The Ajax is slow, only capable of attaining speeds up to 54 km/h. Since speed is not its defense, the designers gave the Ajax nineteen tons of armor. The room for all of this armor comes from the [[XL engine]] the Ajax uses for power.<ref name="TRO:3067p26"/>	+	The '''Ajax Assault Tank''' is an Omni-capable [[combat vehicle]] that is the follow-up to [[GM]]'s [[Challenger]] X MBT.

−	== Weapons and Equipment ==	+	==Armament==
−	The primary configuration of the Ajax carries an [[Ultra Autocannon/10]] and a [[Gauss rifle]]. Both weapons carry sufficient ammunition for most engagements. For backup, the Ajax mounts a pair of [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s and a [[Streak SRM-4]]. All the weapons are mounted in a turret, allowing the crew of the Ajax to bring them all to bear on any target within range, regardless of where it is in relation to the tank's facing. A [[C3 slave unit]] allows the Assault Tank to tie into a C3 network, making it weapons fire all the more accurate.<ref name="TRO:3067p26"/>	+	The primary configuration of the Ajax carries an [[Ultra Autocannon/10]] and a [[Gauss Rifle]].

Six tons of ammunition rarely leave the missile launchers out of supply. A [[C3 computer]] makes this an effective command vehicle, allowing the Ajax B to coordinate the fire of a lance or company.

A single [[Streak SRM-6]] is also in the turret, while three more Streak SRM-6 systems are mounted on the front of the tank. Additional firepower comes from a bow-mounted [[MRM-40]] launcher.

−	*;Alternate Configuration D : This configuration is apparently intended for artillery and command support developed in [[Introduction Year::3075]]<ref name="MUL5"/>. The turret houses a single [[Arrow IV]] missile launcher and a pair of [[ER Medium Laser]]s. Each side is protected from infantry and battle armor by a [[Light Machine Gun]]. There is a Guardian ECM Suite in the hull, but the Ajax-D also has a [[Drone Carrier Control System]] that can control six drone systems.

−	*;Sealed : This configuration is intended to support amphibious assaults and was introduced in [[Introduction Year::3078]]<ref name="MUL6"/>. As such it uses [[Environmental Sealing]] to create a watertight tank. An [[SRT-6]] with 30 salvos provides defense against submarine threats, while an [[MML-9]] with 2 tons of ammo, [[ER Large Laser]] and two [[Medium Pulse Laser]]s provide firepower against other threats.
