Overview:
    Following inner sphere tank developments, the TDF deemed it necessary to bolster its own
    armour regiments with a new armoured vehicle to supplement its forces and phase out dated
    designs. To accommodate this, the TDF requested a heavy tank, 60-70 tonnes, with multirole
    capability and high battlefield endurance, while retaining reasonable cost of production and
    acquisition. Vandenburg Mechanised Industries delivered, winning the contract with the Bison
    BSN-1.

Capabilities:
    Armed with a mixed ammo-energy loadout, the Bison has high versatility, and can still
    provide support even after its ammo reliant weapons run dry. Its main calibre is an
    Imperator Code Red LB 10-X autocannon in the turret, with 1 tonne each slug and cluster
    ammunition for engaging a variety of targets. For use at long range, and in fire support, an
    LRM 10 is mounted with a tonne of ammunition. A large laser is also positioned in the turret
    for long to medium range combat, and to ensure the Bison keeps its horns even after the main
    calibre runs dry. Finally, it mounts 2 small lasers in the hull for close range and
    anti-infantry purposes. The Bison is powered by a new domestic Regent 195 rated fusion
    engine, derived from the Magna 260 produced by Taurus Territorial Industries, that propels
    it at standard combat speeds for its weight, and is well protected by 14 tonnes of Durallex
    medium ferro-fibrous armour.

Deployment:
    The Bison is deployed as per Taurian combined arms tactics, in heavy tank maniples to
    support and supplement the advance of infantry platoons and Battlemech lances. Additionally,
    with all its larger armament being mounted in the turret, it is effective in hull down
    positions for point and operational defence.

Notable MechWarriors:
    Bison BSN-1TE 'Raging Bull'
    Utilised by Cornet Sebastian Threll and his crew, Maniple leader in the Taurian
    Expeditionary's 2nd Battlemech Battalion's Armoured Auxiliary Company. The Raging Bull has
    been refitted in the field, removing the large laser and adding 2 Medium Pulse Lasers and an
    extra tonne of armour for improved medium to close range combat.
