==Description==
The '''Regulator''' hovertank was the result of the [[Capellan Confederation]] refining its surviving industries to produce better combat vehicles after the [[Fourth Succession War]] and the revival of [[Star League]] technology from the [[Helm Memory Core]].<ref name="TRO:3058p42">''Technical Readout: 3058'', p. 42, "Regulator Hovertank"</ref><ref name="TRO:3058Up86+"/>

The Regulator has been given 6 tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, which are concentrated heavily on the front and turret. Consequently, other areas of the tank are thinner, leaving it vulnerable to heavy damage from the sides and rear.  The General Motors 170 [[fusion engine]] gives it considerable speed and agility, however, making up somewhat for the thin protection on the flanks.<ref name="TRO:3058p42"/><ref name="TRO:3058Up86+"/>

==Variants==
*; Regulator Hover Tank (Arrow IV) : Created in [[Introduction Year::3064]]<ref name="MUL2"/>, Liao engineers removed the Regulator's Gauss rifle for an ''Di Yu Huo'' (Hellfire) [[Arrow IV]] System.  The engineers reduced the tank's armor protection to fit the new weapon and its 15 rounds of ammunition. Note: This variant uses [[Rules Rating/Advanced|Advanced Rules]] and is not legal for use in tournament play.

*  Regulator Hover Tank (Arrow IV Variant) - Created in the 3060s, Liao engineers removed the Regulator's Gauss Rifle for an ''Di Yu Huo'' (Hellfire) [[Arrow IV]] System.  The engineers reduced the tank's armor protection to fit the new weapon and its 15 rounds of ammunition. Note: This variant uses [[Rules Rating/Advanced|Advanced Rules]] and is not legal for use in tournament play.

*; Regulator Hover Tank (RAC) : This variant is a field refit that first appeared during [[Operation SOVEREIGN JUSTICE|George Hasek's War]] in [[Introduction Year::3068]]<ref name="MUL3"/>. It replaces the Gauss rifle and its ammunition with a [[Rotary AC/5]] linked to a [[targeting computer]] salvaged from [[Federated Suns|Davion]] wrecks. Among the Capellan forces, this variant's deadly accuracy has become legend. Due in part of rarity of salvage to put such a refit together, the vehicle's four tons of ammunition is protected by [[CASE]]. BV (1.0) = 1,009<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Upgrades'', p. 99</ref>, BV (2.0) = 1,282<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 90</ref><ref name="MUL3">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/2676/regulator-hovertank-rac/ MUL online data for the Regulator Hovertank (RAC) variant]''</ref>

*  Regulator Hover Tank (RAC/5 Variant) - The variant is a field refit that first appeared during [[Operation Sovereign Justice|George Hasek's War]] in 3068. The variant takes the Gauss rifle and its ammunition and replaces them with a [[Rotary AC/5]] linked to a [[targeting computer]] salvaged from [[Federated Suns|Davion]] wrecks.

*; Regulator II (Standard) : This version introduced in [[Introduction Year::3076]]<ref name="MUL5"/> weighs five tons more than the standard version. It uses an XL engine to drive the tank at 160 km/h. A single Gauss rifle is the only weapon on the tank. [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor protects the hull.

*; Regulator II (RAC) : Developed in [[Introduction Year::3083]]<ref name="MUL6"/>, this version in of the Regulator II replaces the Gauss rifle with an RAC/5 and targeting computer. In addition to the armor protection, this variant carries a [[Guardian ECM Suite]]<ref name="TRO:3085p31+"/>.

* Regulator Alan - A unique variant, this version of the Regulator uses a [[Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle]] as it's main gun. For protection it mounts [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Vehicular Stealth Armor]] and a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 9</ref> BV (2.0) = 896<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 22</ref>
  
*; Regulator II (Stealth) : This Capellan variant introduced in [[Introduction Year::3082]]<ref name="MUL7"/>, combines a [[light Gauss rifle]] with a stolen Targeting Computer to create a deadly sniper. To further increase its effectiveness, this variant uses a Guardian ECM Suite to power [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Vehicular Stealth Armor]]<ref name="TRO:3085p31+"/>.

* Regulator II Hovertank - Built in [[3083]] as a heavier but more resilient version of the Regulator, Aldis Industries remodeled the tank to mass 50 tons and replaced the main gun with an Imperator [[Light Gauss Rifle]]. Its hull was given Hellespont Lite V [[Ferro-Fibrous|Ferro-Fibrous Armor]]. The vehicle was given a LT 165 Rated Fusion Engine allowing it go to speeds up to 130 K/ph.<ref>''Dossier of Carmen Hern'' - Dossier includes details of vehicle.</ref>
*; Regulator Alan : A unique variant introduced in [[Introduction Year::3077]]<ref name="MUL4"/>, this version of the Regulator uses a [[Silver Bullet Gauss rifle]] as its main gun. For protection it mounts [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] [[Vehicular Stealth Armor]] and a [[Guardian ECM Suite]].<ref name="XTRO:Lp9">''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 9, "Regulator Alan"</ref> BV (2.0) = 896<ref name="XTRO:Lp22">''Experimental Technical Readout: Liao'', p. 22, "Record Sheet - Regulator Alan"</ref><ref name="MUL4">''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/2674/regulator-hovertank-alan/ MUL online data for the Regulator Hovertank Alan variant]''</ref>
