Line 26: ==Description== ==Description== − Introduced in [[2620]] by Leopard Armor of [[Terra]] for the [[Star League Defense Force]] and named in honor of [[Colonel]] [[Alfred Padilla]], the '''Padilla Heavy Artillery Tank''' was created as companion to the [[Chaparral]]. Stationed well back from the front lines, the Padilla was usually paired with light, fast [[BattleMechs]] equipped with [[Target Acquisition Gear]] to make better use of their missile artillery. If caught in a firefight, the Padilla relied on its speed and maneuverability for protection, as it was built with only five and a half tons of armoring.<ref name=RIp32>''Rhonda's Irregulars, p. 32''</ref> + Introduced in [[2620]] by Leopard Armor of [[Terra]] for the [[SLDF]], the '''Padilla''' artillery tank was created as companion to the ''[[Chaparral]]''.
