Description[edit]

Designed by the Quikscell Company of Pandora, the Skanda Light Tank was a general use light combat vehicle first produced in the Lyran Commonwealth. Introduced in the last decade of the thirty-first century, the vehicle would be sold throughout the Inner Sphere until the Clan Jade Falcon Invasion of the Commonwealth in 3142, when the vehicle would become exclusive to the Clan as part of the Falcon's garrison forces.[4][5]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The Skanda is swift for a tracked vehicle; this is due in part of its 245-rated extralight fusion engine, powering the vehicle upwards to 118 km/h. This speed allows the tank to serve as ground reconnaissance element for forces unable to deploy airborne units. Modestly armored for a light tank, the Skanda's armored hide is protected with 6.5 tons of Compound VM22 Ferro-Fibrous.

A turretless design, the Tank’s weaponry is all fixed forward. Its long-reaching firepower, which gives the vehicle the ability to take down airborne elements, comes from a pair of Ultra Class 2 Autocannons. Backup for the autocannons comes in the form of a pair of Series 2b Extended Range Medium Lasers. The tank's fire-control systems are geared towards being able to target opponents at long ranges.[6]
