-====== OI-K2-1A Origin Main Battle Tank ======
-The OMBT is a tracked main battle tank produced in [[calendar:ye_34]] by [[corp:origin]].
-===== About =====
-As a Main Battle Tank, the OMBT is well armed, armored and fast for a vehicle of its class, providing its services at a low price. It is intended to assault enemy forces from long range with direct fire with its main cannon or  provide indirect fire as an artillery unit. The tank is also meant to provide armor and fire support for powered armored infantry, which in turn should protect and support the tank in close quarters. In addition, it is excellent for assaulting and demolishing fixed defenses with its main cannon and the powerful high explosive rounds it can fire. Though intended for longer range combat, the tank has a remote control dual autocannon turret, various mini-missiles and airburst grenade launchers for defense.
-===== History =====
-With the collapse of Paragon and a following business deal, Origin Industries suddenly found itself with the schematics and design details of the Havoc MBT. From this, the Origin Main Battle Tank was formed by upgrading and improving on what was already there. Redesigned from the ground up to to be a relatively inexpensive combat vehicle, and even reduced in size while retaining all of its offensive and defensive capability, the tank is capable of picking off targets with its main gun while utilizing its all-terrain capability to the fullest.
-===== Appearance =====
-The OMBT is a rather boxy, rectangular looking tank. However, the frontal armor of the tank is sloped, and there is some slope on the side armor as well despite the overall boxy shape and rough corners. Aside from the armored mudguards and heavy duty treads of the tank, the only other notable detail on the hull of the tank is the driver's sensor module located at the forward center of the tank at the upper hull. At times, it may 'button up' giving it a more slit-like appearance to its optics. To the right of the optics is the Driver's cupola used for entering and exiting the vehicle.
-Though the turret itself is just as boxy and rectangular as the hull of the tank, it is only the front that features sloped armor, the sides being rather flat. A single large antennae can be seen protruding from the top of the turret towards the rear. Forward and to the left is the tank commander's cupola, while at center right of the turret is the gunner's cupola.
-On the turret itself is the 125mm main gun protruding from the center of the turret with an autocannon acting as a coaxial - on the top of the armored mantlet, the primary sensors for the gunner can be seen. Like the driver's sensor module, it too can 'button up' and give itself a more armored appearance. To either side of the main gun are the sponson guns, one for each side. Atop the turret itself is the secondary turret, controlled by the commander. It sports two autocannons and a pair of mini-missile launchers. In appearance, it is practically identical to the one mounted on the [[armored_fighting_vehicle|Origin Armored Fighting Vehicle]].

-===== Interior Description =====
-==== Turret ====
-Both the Commander and Gunner reside inside the turret. However, most of the space is taken up by the gun, autoloader, and ammunition magazines, creating a semi-cramped work area. The commander station provides access to the tank's communication and computer system though a volumetric interface, as well as monitoring equipment used to scan the outside environment. In addition, the commander station provides control to the top mounted secondary turret that houses the lesser weapons of the tank.
-The gunner's station houses access to the controls of the main gun of the OMBT as well as volumetric controls to the autoloader. Inside the turret, the commander is typically located below the right cupola, with the gunner below the left cupola. The two are separated by the main gun's breech, and are further separated when the massive autoloader arm leaps forward to load a new round of ammunition - though dangerous, the system includes a safety sensor system that prevents the autoloader from working when there is an obstruction.
-Ammunition is stowed inside the automated magazine in the rear of the turret with a total of 60 rounds. Additional rounds of ammunition may be stowed in the hull.
-==== Hull ====
-The driver's compartment rests in the lower forward section of the hull and consists of a reclined crash seat with volumetric controls to the tank's systems as well as the steering wheel and pedals. Though more cramped than the other sections of the vehicle, the driver's is the most comfortable. Additional ammunition and supplies are often stored in the main hull directly below the turret, with the reactor and drive systems located to the rear of the tank's hull.
-===== Weapon Systems =====
-==== Primary Weapon System(s) ====
-=== 125mm Gauss Cannon ===
-Serving as the main weapon of the OMBT, the 125mm Gauss Cannon provides both powerful direct fire and high explosive indirect fire as artillery. It is well capable of sniping and picking off infantry kilometers away.

-===== System Descriptions =====
-==== Hull and Hull Integrated Systems ====
-The hull of the Origin Main Battle Tank consists of [[materials:adnr|ADNR]] coated with a titanium alloy to save weight yet provide ample structural integrity. Armor consists a composite using hardened tungsten alloy, ceramic plates and [[materials:durandium]] that are interlocked for rigidness and strength.
-=== NBC Protection Systems ===
-The nuclear, biological and chemical protection systems allow the vehicle to completely seal up and either filter air from the outside, or recycle internal atmosphere for up to 3 days. In the case of contaminated air getting inside the cabin, the NBC systems also have an emergency 'flush' mode where it goes into overdrive, rapidly blowing out contaminated air and replacing it with uncontaminated atmosphere to decontaminate the interior. In addition, the system can seal itself against the vacuum of space, and re-pressurize the cabin up to 4 times off its own air supply.
-=== Variable Voltage Defense System ===
-An electrical current may be safely run through the outer hull of the vehicle, as the interior is fully insulated. This enables the vehicle to discourage boarders, incapacitating them or even carbonizing personnel, depending on the setting. It must be manually activated by the crew in order to function.
-==== Power ====
-A trio of [[high_output_nuclear_energy#burst|BURST]] reactors set up in a clover leaf pattern supplies all the electrical power the OMBT needs in order to function, providing power for the motors, computer systems and sensors. For convenience of those inside the vehicle, there are several electrical outlets available for use located throughout the interior.
-==== Propulsion ====
-The tracks on the OMBT are driven by a pair of electrical motors that spin the drive wheels, offering good acceleration for a vehicle of its class and all-terrain capability. With the use of hardened, hard wearing polymer for the tracks, the vehicle is both less noisy than metal tracked contemporaries and easier to repair.
-==== Electronics ====
-Though originally intended for small craft and power armor, the vehicle uses a version of the [[destiny_ai_system#pawn|PAWN]] specifically modified for use in ground vehicles.
-=== Sensors ===
-The vehicle has sensors that have been scaled back for planetary use, having only roughly .0001% of the range the standard PAWN system has. This cuts back costs and potential user confusion when faced with vast quantities of information. Humorously, it still has a range of 1500 Kilometers, or 930 Miles which users often have to scale back further through the display settings to filter out information that is otherwise useless. The PAWN system reliably detects electromagnetic activity, scalar emissions, tachyon particles and more, in addition to the traditional visual sensors present.
-=== Targeting and Fire Control ===
-Like the standard system, the targeting systems can only track up to 10 targets with detailed information such as heading, velocity, type and energy signatures, with an additional 25 targets featuring IFF alongside position and orientation. The PAWN also provides excellent fire control for the weapons mounted, allowing them to be used to their fullest by compensating for atmospheric density, gravitational pull of the planet, rotation of the planet, the air's humidity, wind heading and so on.
-=== Communications ===
-The typical PAWN has systems for hyperspace, laser and radio, but being mounted on a ground vehicle not meant to be hurtling through space, designers saw fit to remove hyperspace communication capacities. Both laser and radio communications systems remain on board, though cut down to specifications better suiting its role on a planet's surface.
-==== Shields ====
-Both Gravmetric and Electromagnetic shields are used on board and projected as a bubble around the vehicle; a single module is used, making repairs and maintenance easy.
