the military approached us with an order for a fast, light, maneuverable,
heavy-hitting artillery unit. our first impulse was to build a mounted gun,
like the Diomedes, and put a very large engine in it. we soon realised that
that would not fulfill the military's expectations. then one bright R&D tech
hit upon the solution. "why just one gun?". swiftly the prelimenary edsign
was drafted up, with two light guns, rather than one heavy gun. after much
deliberation, a treaded chassis was chosen for the vehicle, and the L.A.S.T.
was born. don't let the name fool you, it stands for "Light Artillery
Support Tank". designed to be deployed in groups of three or more, the
LAST's powerful 6" guns can lob High Explosive shells close to 50 miles,
thanks to a liquid propellant system, which also reduces muzzle flash. it
also carries an advanced comms and sensor package, allowing it to locate
it's target regardless of weather conditions. the L.A.S.T. is now undergoing
field trials by the military, and will be operational within the year.

continuing with our successful SP-44 chassis, R&D developed this latest
juggernaut for Ground Assaults. most noticable is the heavy Tachyon cannon,
upgraded from the original SP-44, slung under the chin. directly above that
sits a twin heavy vulcan cannon, with two heavy machine guns in the forward
mounts. the cockpit-side turrets house exparimental Sound-wave guns, which
use high-frequency sound-waves to shake enemy vehicles to pieces. mounted on
the rackmount pod, facing aft, is a double minimissile launcher. each
projectile carries six pounds of high explosive, but can be fitted with
incendiary, smoke, poison gas, or even small-scale nuclear warheads. four
more minimissile launchers are mounted in pairs on either side of the
rackmount, facing forward. the forward facing launcher are actually aimed
slightly downwards to launch clear of the sound-wave guns. we predict that
the GA will become the enemy's worst nightmare, and the military's best
friend.
