================================================================================================
Overview:
Designed by Clan Blood Spirit and latter disseminated as isorla to the rest of the
Clans, the Crimson Antlion is intended by design to excel at urban defense by taking enemies
off-guard with heavy weaponry. This leaves it quite slow for its size, but that is
considered an acceptable tradeoff since speed would be limited by its intended combat
environment of urban areas anyway.
Capabilities:
The 30-ton Shank is built on a York WT Endo-Steel chassis, which supports a 90-rated XL
Engine and 5 tons of Compound Alpha Ferro-Fibrous armor. With its lighter armor and
underpowered engine, it is reliant on cover for avoiding damage - pidgeonhole-ing it as an
ambusher archetype design. However, this leaves it with 60% of its weight being available as
OmniPod space. As for electronics, its communications are provided by a York Y2-Comm unit,
while target acquisition and tracking is handled by a York Y2-T&T tuned for increased
accuracy in close quarters.
DESIGN QUIRKS: Narrow/Low Profile, Improved Targeting (Short), Stable, Poor Performance,
No/Minimal Arms
