-Before it was improved to become the Coyote, it was originally developed and fielded by the forces of the BRR as the //"Mod-38"//(Modular weapons platform, YE-38). The Mod-38 was a key cavalry tank that asserted the BRRs superiority over the militia forces of New Bernese. Acting in groups where they could locate and flank armor columns in quick succession, they easily out maneuvered the mass-produced Origin-bought tanks, destroying them from their flanks with powerful plasma and 105mm cannon rounds. This allowed their lighter armed counterparts to rapidly devastate lighter vehicles and infantry with rapid-fire high explosive rounds. For a time, militia intelligence surmised that the Mod-38 was, in fact, several completely different tank variants. This lasted until the BRR came up against the mechanized NSMC 309th and their heavier, more advanced, and more capable [[faction:nepleslia:vehicles:maximus_ruse|Maximus]] main battle tanks.+Before it was improved to become the Coyote, it was originally developed and fielded by the forces of the BRR as the //"Mod-38"//(Modular weapons platform, YE 38).

 In the closing stages of the war's peace talks, the BRR leadership agreed to a partial disarming in regards to their devastating armor and air force in return for continued autonomy and the start of good-faith relation with the DIoN. Thousands of Mod-38's, other tanks, and equipment were turned over to the militia and DIoN officials. In the closing stages of the war's peace talks, the BRR leadership agreed to a partial disarming in regards to their devastating armor and air force in return for continued autonomy and the start of good-faith relation with the DIoN.

-Added with the ye-45 SABER upgrade a dual origin [[corp:origin:heavy_pulse_laser_vulcan]] can replace any of the main weapons to configure two rapid-firing heavy lasers allowing considerable area saturation. While not as up to par for anti-vehicle use it is still capable of melting through other tanks with sustained fire, cutting powered armor and fighters out of the sky, and tearing through hard cover. +Added with the YE 45 SABER upgrade a dual origin [[corp:origin:heavy_pulse_laser_vulcan]] can replace any of the main weapons to configure two rapid-firing heavy lasers allowing considerable area saturation.

-In ye-45 for the SABER upgrade a [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:nam_safety_net|]] system was installed in the space one taking up the larger diesel engine. The safety net projects a gravity-shield style zero-field around the tank that while not blocking projectiles will divert rockets and heavier projectile from potential killshots by attempting to divert them either away from the coyote, or away from critical areas and onto the tanks armor. +In YE 45 for the SABER upgrade a [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:nam_safety_net|]] system was installed in the space one taking up the larger diesel engine.

 Two [[technology:nepleslia:ultra-compact_fusion_generator]] are also installed in the coyote and can be drawn upon to offset the power requirements of the tank. They cannot be drawn from when actively charging a plasma lance and will slow the tank's movements as a result.  Two [[technology:nepleslia:ultra-compact_fusion_generator]] are also installed in the coyote and can be drawn upon to offset the power requirements of the tank.
