================================================================================================
Overview:
Developed in the wake of the Blackout in response to a contract solicitation for a command
vehicle for reconnaissance units in the Republic Armed Forces, the NZ-6 Nezara Heavy Command
Hovertank is a highly mobile 50-ton combat hovercraft designed and produced by Baal Defense
Solutions, so-named for an alien species of large, flesh-eating eusocial stink bugs native
to Lodestone. Equipped primarily to serve as both a command vehicle and a capable scout in
its own right, the Nezara sports a General Motors 265-rated extralight fusion powerplant for
a 162 kph top speed, along with a Beagle Active Probe and four tons of advanced
communications gear for target designation and effective coordination with friendly forces
at a battalion level. Offensive capability isn't neglected either, with a Baal Defense
Cyclosaur 500 rotary autocannon mounted in the vehicle's turret, while eight tons of heavy
ferro-fibrous armor prevent the vehicle from having to rely entirely upon its speed for
protection.
The Nezara was initially purchased in limited numbers by the RAF, but the contract was
terminated prematurely when the Fortress Republic plan was enacted in October 3135. BDS
attempted to sell the unfulfilled surplus to the various Republic Remnant factions, but had
little success. Luckily, however, the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns soon approached to
negotiate a limited contract for the vehicles, looking to equip militia units in and around
the Draconis Reach as the Combine began to take a more aggressive posture towards enforcing
its claims in the disputed region. This contract kept the design from being shelved, even as
the AFFS slowed down its procurement of the vehicle after the Draconis Reach was lost
entirely to the Combine in 3139. Demand would skyrocket later on however in the wake of the
Palmyra Disaster, as despite the AFFS's disasterous performance during the battle the Nezara
was purported to have performed admirably within in its intended role, helping to detect and
track Combine units as they maneuvered to ambush AFFS formations to which these vehicles
were attached, allowing these formations to reposition to engage such foes on more favorable
terms than might otherwise have been possible.
