Carrying 3 tons of missiles, this gives the Testudo's crews some choices of ammunition types to employ against its targets. Its main conventional weapon is an Imperator Automatic Ultra Class 10 Autocannon, which is fed by 30 rounds of ammunition. Against infantry, the tank has a pair of Light Machine Guns, one found in the turret and another mounted in the front. The hull of the tank is protected by 12.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor, with the addition of CASE to protect its crew from ammunition explosions. The Testudo is powered by a 225-rated [[fuel cell]] engine, which gives the tank a modest speed while being able to carry its array of weaponry and armor.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries'', pp. 20-21 - Stats</ref> ==Design Quirks== The Testudo has the following [[Design Quirk]]: * [[Distracting]] ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Record Sheets: 3145 Unabridged]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3145 Mercenaries]]'' [[Category:75 ton Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Heavy Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Artillery Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Artillery Support Unit]] [[Category:Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Tracked Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Fire Support Combat Vehicles]] [[Category:Periphery Combat Vehicles]]
