Description

Created for the Star League Defense Force in 2680 as part of need for mobile fire support. The SLDF's Quartermaster Command was responsible for choicing this design due to its excellent armor protection & its advance CASE protection system. Which allows the crew & vehicle to survive ammunition explosion, the QC felt it worth the cost. The vehicle was critized initially for being limited due to its Wheeled configuration.

In 2735, Brooks Incorporated created a cheap knock-off of the Thor, named Thumper.[1]

Armament

The vehicle mounts a 15 ton Thumper Artillery Piece with 40 rounds of ammunition. For self-defense purposes, the vehicle has two Medium Lasers mounted on a elevated turret just above the main body.
