Its revival would be due in part to the [[Draconis Combine]]'s invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]] in the 3130s. The vehicle would later be deployed as part of the forces invading the [[Federated Suns]] in 3140s. The Saladin Mk II would be assigned to such regimental units such as the [[Ryuken-go]] and later with elements of [[Wolf's Dragoons]]. The Dragoons were impressed with the tank's performance and they purchased many of them for their own use.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 10: Saladin Mk II - Background</ref>

While retaining the speed of the original model, the Saladin MK II is considerably better protected by Scarborough engineers using 5.5 tons of Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor.

The tank's primary weapon is its front-mounted Magna Flarestar Snub-Nose Particle Projection Cannon. While this has less punch than the original's heavy Autocannon, the PPC has no ammunition needs, allowing it to keep fighting longer and at greater ranges. To help offset the loss in overall firepower, the Saladin Mk II has a secondary weapon in the form of a 4-Tubed Guided Technologies 2nd Generation Streak SRM launcher with 25 rounds of ammunition.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 10–11, 61: Saladin Mk II - Stats</ref>
