================================================================================================
Overview:
Initially produced by the Quikscell Company in 2807, the Scorpion tank is well known for
being easy to repair, available in numbers, and, best of all, cheap. Because of these
properties, it has achieved the nickname of "The Budget Tank." Found on many backwater and
Periphery worlds, the Scorpion is a proven favorite due to its low cost.
Only marginally effective for a light tank, the Scorpion has proven effective in mass
numbers. Swarms of Scorpions, easily procured due to their low cost, are an
often-encountered danger on poorer worlds. The famed Scorpion's Nest training scenario was
given its name because of this property.
These properties are the reason why the Scorpion was chosen by AFFC for their Mechanized
Calvary initiative. Quickscell was provided a substantial grant to re-engineer the Scorpion
using captured Omni technology from the Clan front. The purpose of this engineering effort
was to create an array of combat vehicle capable of working in consort with the AFFC's new
battle armor infantry battalions without the need of specialized APCs. Each tank would be
paired with and trained alongside a squad of battle armored infantry , thus increasing the
tactical flexibility of both units in combined arms engagements.
