================================================================================================
Overview:
    Developed specifically for the Hegemony Armed Forces roughly a century before the rise of
    the Star League, the Challenger was designed to operate in any environment economically and
    boasted a formidable weapons array capable of engaging nearly any target.
    
    The primary weapon was a class ten autocannon mounted in the right of the turret, while a
    sub-turret in the rear left carried a six-tube short range missile launcher, medium laser,
    and machine gun as secondary weapons. Two smoke deployment grenade launchers were also
    fitted to the left cheek of the turret. The primary flaw of the vehicle was a fairly light
    armor load, but otherwise it was fairly unremarkable.
    
    This version of the tank would be replaced by an upgraded version shortly prior to the
    founding of the Star League, which would eventually replace the vehicle completely; no
    Challengers of the original configuration are known to exist after 2568.

Capabilities:
    Possesses the Extinct (2598) Design Quirk.
