An upgraded version of the [[Capellan Confederation]]'s [[Po]] Tank. While the original was an exceedingly cheap and simplistic design, the '''Po II''' is a considerably more expensive Main Battle Tank. − Developed to quickly fill both the depleted post–[[Fourth Succession War]] [[CCAF]] and the Capellan Treasury through export sales, the Po easily exceeded expectations. But while minor weapon upgrades were made as increasing volumes of advanced technology filtered down to the Confederation after the initial [[Clan Invasion]], for the most part the tank was left unchanged from when it was first introduced, as the [[Strategios]] were unwilling to lose the sales income the Po generated in the time it would take to halt production to retool and upgrade it more completely. The annihilation of the Ceres Metal Industries [[St. Ives]] Po turret production lines during the [[Word of Blake]]'s assaults against the [[St. Ives Compact|St. Ives Commonality]] capital forced such a halt as the line was rebuilt and provided the Capellan engineers the opportunity to finally redesign and upgrade the Po.<ref name="TRO:3085p36+"/> + Developed to quickly fill both the depleted post–[[Fourth Succession War]] [[CCAF]] and the Capellan Treasury through export sales, the Po easily exceeded expectations.
