Thus, it has been [[Environmental Sealing|environmentally sealed]] against a vacuum. [[Blue Shield Particle Field Dampener|Particle Field Dampener]]s and [[Reflective Armor|laser reflective armor]] provide the Partisan with phenomenal defense against the energy weapons typical of aerospace fighters, but leave it vulnerable to ballistics. Two [[Large X-Pulse Laser]]s provide the necessary punch to knock out incoming fighters. To coordinate with other units, it carries a [[C3 Boosted Slave]].

| − | *; | + | *;Nike : This variant of the Partisan focuses on firepower rather than the command and coordination abilities of later models. By using less-expensive technology, customers who couldn't afford a Partisan still get a solid anti-aircraft platform. Using a [[Armored Chassis|modified support vehicle chassis]], a [[Fuel Cell]] engine provides a top speed of 54 kp/h while thirteen tons of [[BAR|BAR 9]] armor provides protection against most weaponry. Offensively, the Nike carries a pair of [[Light AC/2]]s and a pair of [[LB 5-X AC]]s with each weapon backed by a two ton ammunition bay. Due to the bulkier nature of some components the Nike weighs 90 tons - ten tons heavier than its inspiration. BV (2.0) = 688<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: RetroTech'', p. 11</ref> |
| − | *; | + | *;C3 : Many militias during the FedCom Civil War who were unable to pay the much higher price tag for the upgraded Partisans modified their originals by removing the [[machine guns]] and adding in a [[CASE]] system to protect the crews from an ammunition explosion, while also installing a [[C3 slave]] to create a inexpensive C3 lance mate. To compensate for the obsolete weapons, militias invest in various special munitions, making the guns more accurate and powerful on the cheap.
