The '''SM1 tank destroyer''' was designed as a speedy infighter by scientists from [[Clan Nova Cat]]. The machine is a cheap and effective [[combat vehicle]]. The vehicle has unique "glass" dual cockpits on the front of the vehicle that are functionally identical while mounting a smaller anti-infantry turret just behind its left side cockpit.<ref name=TRO130>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 130</ref> The vehicle's unique split cockpit design allows the cockpit modules to eject from the vehicle. Due to its appearance, the SM1 was dubbed the "Suicide Machine" by its first pilots because they felt overexposed with the tank's all ferro-glass cockpit.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3070'', p. 134-135</ref>

Working with [[Luthien Armor Works]], as it did with the [[Shoden]] project at LAW's defunct facilities on [[Irece]], this facility began to produce the SM1 Tank Destroyer in [[3065]]. Clan Nova Cat provided the advanced technology from their own factories after upgrading LAW's facilities on Irece. The deal with LAW gave the Clan shares in the manufacturing plant itself, and purchasing rights for the SM1's first five years of production.<ref name=TRO130 />
