==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Kokou Defense Tank''' is an early [[Clan]] combat vehicle first developed by [[Clan Star Adder]] from the [[SLDF]]'s Royal [[Burke (Combat Vehicle)|Burke]]. In fact the development happened so quickly that the "Block A" Kokous underperformed in the field. [[Clan Mongoose]] forces defeated the Block A Kokous at least nineteen times. However when the improved "Block B" Kokous arrived, the tide quickly turned and the Adders successfully defended their territory.<ref name=trogc8/>

Given its low speed, the Kokou is used primarily as a defensive unit. One noted use in this role was [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Beta Galaxy's]] defense of their Clan's [[Tokasha MechWorks Alpha]] factory on [[Tokasha]] in [[2921]] from [[Clan Ghost Bear]].<ref>''Turning Points: Tokasha'', pp. 1 Holding the Line - Short Story of gunner of Kokou fighting off the Ghost Bears.</ref>

Its long-range weapon is a [[LRM-10|10-Tubed Long-Range Missile Launcher]] mounted on the front of the tank's hull. The two tons of ammunition for the launcher is protected by [[CASE]]. Intermediate and close range threats are handled by the blistering power of three [[Kolibri Delta Series (LPL)|Kolibri Delta Series]] [[Large Pulse Laser]]s found in its turret. Thirty heat sinks are fitted to dissipate the immense heat of the lasers.<ref name=trogc9/>
