==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Saracen Mk II HCV''' is a [[thirty-second century]] updated version of Scarborough Ltd.'s old [[Third Succession War]] [[Saracen|design]] by the same name. Produced in [[3137]] alongside the company’s other hovertank designs, the new Mk II version of the tank became highly popular among [[Draconis Combine|Draconis Combine's]] forces, initially with the [[Ryuken Regiments]].  The tank along with its other famous trio of tanks became a staple unit of many of the [[DCMS|DCMS's]] vehicle formations.  The Saracen Mk II would see significant action in the Combine's initial campaign in the heavily contested [[Draconis Reach]] region.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', p. 12: Saracen MK II HCV - Background</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
Powered by a 175-rated Omni [[fusion engine]], the power plant would allow the Saracen Mk II to go 33 km/h faster than the original design. The tank's armor, though only a ton less than its predecessor's 7 tons of armor, makes up for it with superior protection by using heavy ferro-fibrous instead of [[standard armor]].

The tank's main battery is a single Doombud 7-Tube multi-missile launcher, which is mounted in the turret.  While not having a large number of missile launchers, the flexible Doombud's 2 tons of ammunition makes up for it with heavy throwing power in both short and long ranges.  Backing up the launcher is a pair of Diverse Optics Extended-Range Medium Lasers, also found in the turret, giving the tank a reliable and prolonged source of firepower to allow it to remain combat-effective should its ammo bins run dry.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 12–13, 63: Saracen MK II HCV - Stats</ref>

*; Saracen Mk II (BC3) : Introduced in [[3138]] by the request of the [[DCMS]], the BC3 variant is a networked version of the standard model. Not as heavily armed as the standard model, the [[Technology Rating|advanced tech]] variant is armed with the [[MML 5|5-tubed Multi-Missile Launcher]] instead of the 7.  Also to make room for the [[C3 boosted slave unit]], engineers would have to drop one of the tank's ER Medium Lasers.
