Description[edit]

Named for Morgan Hasek-Davion, the DI Morgan was created as fire support vehicle as a replacement of the aging Schrek PPC carrier in House Steiner's armed forces. The vehicle was first created after the loss of many of the old Lyran standby during the onslaught of the Jihad.[3]

However, due to its expensive equipment, the vehicle had a high price tag and few smaller commands could afford the vehicle. Defiance offered low-interest loans to allow the vehicle to be more affordable.[3]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The vehicle's primary armaments are its three Defiance 1001 model Extended Particle Projection Cannons in its turret. This gives the vehicle solid and devastating firepower. Pair of Machine Guns are mounted in front with half ton of ammunition.[3]

Variants[edit]

To make up for the loss of many designs used by Lyran armed forces (Alacorns and SturmFeurs), Defiance created two variants of the vehicle: [3]

  • LRM Variant 
    4 x LRM-20s with Artemis in turret, 2 x ER Medium Lasers, CASE, and C3 slave unit. This vehicle is intended to fill in for the SturmFeur Missile Tank. However, the vehicle has less armor than the Lyran tank, despite being encased in Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor. BV (2.0) = 1,869[5][6]
  • Gauss variant 
    3 x Gauss rifles mounted in the turret, which is linked to a targeting computer and a C3 slave. The vehicle's engine is downgraded to a 200 XL fusion, and its armor reduced by two and half tons. (2.0) = 1,623[7], 1,621[8]
