Description[edit]
The Chevalier Light Tank was produced by and for the Star League. The Succession Wars devastated the stores of the Chevalier as the Successor States often cannibalized them for parts. Only Millennium Industries of Terra continued to produce the design, and that was snapped up by ComStar. Though the top speed is only 97 km/h, it is still respectable for a wheeled vehicle. It is protected by six and a half tons of armor.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
Though the Chevalier's armament is weak compared to modern designs, it has an extremely ammunition-efficient design, allowing it to stay in the fight for longer than other vehicles from the same weight class. For long range, it mounts a Blankenburg ER Large Laser in its turret. A pair of front-mounted Zone-Tone Streak SRM-2 allow it to exploit any holes it may have made in an opponent's armor.[1]
Variants[edit]
- BAP
- This variant that is popular with the Explorer Corps removes armor to mount additional components. It adds a Beagle Active Probe and a Machine Gun. BV (1.0) = 431,[3][6] BV (2.0) = 583[7]
- Speed
- In use with the 31st Division of the Com Guards, this variant increases the Chevalier's top speed to 119 km/h. In order to accomplish this, it had to remove two tons of armor and one of the missile launchers. BV (1.0) = 140,[3][6] BV (2.0) = 613
- MML
- This is a Jihad era variant that revamps the vehicle's missile firepower. Armed with the baseline vehicle's ER Large Laser, the tank's SRMs are removed for a 5-Tube Multi-Missile Launcher with 2 tons of ammunition. The vehicle's armor is increased due to the use of Heavy Ferro-Fibrous as well. BV (2.0) = 671[8]
