- | ==== About and History ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Though the introduction and sale of the Origin Main Battle Tank in early [[calendar: | ||
- | |||
- | To ensure quality and approval amongst the ranks of Star Army soldiers, veteran tank and vehicle crews of the fleet were in constant communication with the Origin Development Team responsible for the production of the new version, which was then rolled out of testing status and into production as quickly as possible. | ||
- | |||
- | The end result was the OI-K2-2A, which went on to become the Type 34 Main Battle Tank, with its first production run being conducted in YE 34. As it arrived in inventory, the vehicle was put through its paces and evaluated for strengths, weaknesses, and uses it had on the battlefield by the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Appearance ==== | ||
- | |||
- | As the Type 34 is a provisional unit intended for field testing, the tank does not come in parade colors when rolling off the production line as with typical production. Instead, the vehicle is automatically given a Multi-Net Camouflage pattern. Overall, the tank is very boxy in appearance, and though both the armor of the hull and the turret is reasonably sloped, it can be described as a box, on top of a box as a turret, with another mini-turret on top. The tank is bristling with weapons, with its main gun being very visible, present at the center of the turret, with its attachment point well guarded by a sealed, armored and well sloped mantlet. | ||
- | |||
- | A powerful coaxial gun is present at the main gun's side - two more of the same autocannons can be seen on the remote control weapon station on top, arranged in an over under pattern, which appears as a smaller turret. This weapon station also has a pair of rectangular boxes, which serves as the offensive mini-missile racks. Additional boxlike mini-missile racks of significantly smaller capacity are located across the hull, holding numerous counter-missiles, | ||
- | |||
- | The entirety of the vehicle is suspended upon a sturdy, tracked system of propulsion, which is partially covered by mudguards made out of thick metal sheets, which also serve as spaced armor. For the crew, several electronic sensors are visible throughout the hull, providing high definition visual feed and information. | ||

- | ===== 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' | ||
- | |||
- | 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, but is not advised - only the turret ammunition racks feature blowout panels which serve to protect the crew in the event of the magazine being penetrated. Small, neat and tidy analog control systems are also present within the tank should volumetric systems give out - though the visual feed within the tank provides a full 360 degree view, should they go down, a pair of heavy goggles would need to be worn in several cases. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Hull ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The driver' | ||
- | |||
- | An added modification is a V-Shaped lower hull. This serves to protect the tank and its crew from explosions directly underneath the tank where the belly is softest. The V-Shape helps to direct the concussive blast of high explosives and plasma away, rather than providing a flat surface to go straight up against. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Weapon Systems ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Primary Weapon System(s) ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === 125mm Gauss Cannon === | ||
- | |||
- | Serving as the main weapon of the Type 34, 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 or raining shells down from above, both easily done from kilometers away. | ||

- | |||
- | ==== Secondary Weapon System(s) ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === 25mm Automatic Gauss Cannon (3) === | ||
- | |||
- | A robust and easy to maintain weapon, the 25mm AGC provides reasonable firepower for the Type 34, capable of demolishing buildings, wrecking havoc on infantry and damaging power armors. It comes with two mounted on a secondary turret up top, and the third as a coaxial weapon. | ||

- | |||
- | ==== Optional Weapons ==== | ||
- | |||
- | === Multi-Flare Launcher === | ||
- | |||
- | Optionally mounted on the rear top of the turret and facing up into the air, the modified CAP fires flares. These serve to provide either visible light or infrared illumination on the battlefield. In addition, they may also fire numerous signal flares as well, provided the rounds are loaded. The launcher is typically positioned on the left side of the turret roof. | ||

- | === Multi-Spectrum Smoke-Chaff Launchers === | ||
- | |||
- | Another optional piece of equipment, the MSSC Launchers serve to instantly generate smoke and chaff to break weapons locks. The missiles, typically located at the rear right of the turret roof, fire up into the air roughly two meters before detonating, instantly obscuring the tank in Smoke and Chaff. The smoke visually conceals the tank as the cloud rapidly billows out, and also prevents most sensors from getting a lock or detecting the tank itself. | ||

- | ===== System Descriptions ===== | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Hull and Armor ==== | ||
- | |||
- | The hull of the Type 34 MBT consists of interlocking pieces of [[materials: | ||
- | |||
- | With the usage of Yamataium in the armor, the Type 34 was able to be produced with a weight savings of 4 tons, allowing for improved power-to-weight ratio, ease of transport and terrain passability. | ||
- | |||
- | A powered winch with durandium tow cable and hook are attached to the rear of the armored hull for various uses. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Shields and Defensive Systems ==== | ||
- | |||
- | With the Type 34 entering military service with the Star Army of Yamatai, the shield systems for the tank were upgraded accordingly. The Graviton-Magnetic defensive field systems were made to be semi-conformal, | ||
- | |||
- | === 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 ' | ||
- | |||
- | === 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. | ||
- | |||
- | === CPS Control Device === | ||
- | |||
- | A Conformal Psionic Signal Control Device had been added and serves to protect the crew and a conformal area around the vehicle from being affected by psionic anomalies or attacks. The device prevents direct mental assault on the crew members inside, as well as subversion, intrusion and direct control. In addition, psyionic based attacks are often disrupted or dissipated altogether upon entering the conformal field emitted by the system. | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Propulsion ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Small, minute amounts of [[materials: | ||
- | |||
- | The tracks of the Type 34 are made out of Yamataium like its armor to ensure they remain well maintained and self repair any damage incurred. As a result, the tank's tracks are just as noisy as conventional ones made of steel. Despite this, the tracks also include high wear resistant polymer grousers which are very rubber-like in terms of grip and friction. | ||
- | |||
- | The final, and most notable change in the tank's design when altered for the Star Army would be the graviton manipulation plates mounted under the armor. These project their exotic particles through the hull, and interface with any body underneath the tank, allowing it to lessen or increase the effects of gravity exerted upon its hull, but not the crew. This greatly contributes to the vehicle' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Power ==== | ||
- | |||
- | A trio of [[corp: | ||
- | |||
- | For the Star Army of Yamatai, the Type 34 was made to also be capable of utilizing the very same micro-fusion reactors found within the M6 Daisy Power Armor' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Electronics ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Though outfitted with the [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | === Sensors === | ||
- | |||
- | The AIES reliably detects electromagnetic activity, scalar emissions and tachyon particles in addition to the traditional visual sensors present. A sensor sub-suite is also dedicated to detecting aether usage and aether based systems. | ||
- | |||
- | The primary sensors the Type 34s are relatively visible, and though they may ' | ||
- | |||
- | The very same goes for the driver and gunner. For the gunner, the main difference is a small volumetric gunnery panel. However, should even that fail, an eyepiece and facerest are available for use to aim and fire the gun. Meanwhile, the driver' | ||
- | |||
- | === Targeting and Fire Control === | ||
- | |||
- | The Targeting and Fire Control of the Type 34s are improved upon from their predecessors, | ||
- | |||
- | === Communications === | ||
- | |||
- | The typical AIES on the Type 34s have systems for hyperspace, laser and radio, but being mounted on a wheeled vehicles and tanks 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' | ||
- | |||
- | ==== Parts Commonality/ | ||
- | |||
- | //See: [[stararmy: | ||
- | |||
- | Due to the construction of the Type 34 Main Battle Tank, the vehicle has a 100% parts commonality or compatibility with the OI-K2-1 series tank. With the OI-K1-1 series, the Type 34 only has a comparatively marginal 35% parts commonality or compatibility, | ||
- | |||
- | This wide parts commonality and/or compatibility greatly reduces strain on logistics as well as overall repair costs. | ||
