The TX-130 Saber-Class Hovertank was originally a Republic-era vehicle, later adopted and upgraded by Imperial forces for frontline engagements. Its design emphasizes speed, maneuverability, and heavy firepower, using repulsorlift technology to glide effortlessly over varied terrain. The tank is typically armed with twin laser cannons and modular hardpoints that can be fitted with concussion missile launchers or ion weaponry, making it a versatile tool against both infantry and armored threats.
Within the Ashlon Empire, the TX-130 has been refitted and standardized as one of their mainline armored units. On their fortress world of Terminus, these hovertanks are a common sight in both military parades and defensive patrols, boosting the morale of the few remnant battalions left and symbolizing the Empire’s resilience and adaptation. Ashlon engineers have reinforced the tanks with heavier armor plating and upgraded targeting computers, giving them an edge in both urban combat and open-field warfare.
The Saber-Class plays a crucial role in maintaining control over Terminus, patrolling its vast industrial sectors and rugged outlands. To the Ashlon Empire’s citizens, the hovertank represents security and strength. To its enemies, the sight of a Saber gliding across the battlefield is a reminder that the Ashlon Empire is far from defeated.
Really nice little vehicle. Simple and clean, but you've captured the look really well. I wish you had build a bit of terrain to tie it better to the system you post it in. There's nothing in the build that tells me where we are in the SW galaxy - could be anywhere. And any time. 😉
