Kinnol MBT

The Kinnol main battle tank is a frontline combat unit that served the Republic of the Sphere's RAF since 3083. The tank was produced by Aldis Industries as part of the Republic's attempt to create a standard armor unit for its armed forces. The vehicle was named for General Nicolas Kinnol, the third commanding officer of the Star League Defense Force.

The Kinnol conducted a number of secret combat trials prior to its production being approved in 3083. The Republic deployed a lance of vehicles to various pirate-ridden worlds such as Astrokaszy. The Kinnol lance was credited with demolishing a mixed company of 'Mechs and tanks. These trials were deemed a success, as the Kinnol lance only lost one of its vehicles.

The Republic had the vehicle designed with an expensive XL fusion engine to allow the vehicle enough speed to outmaneuver its enemies. Also, the vehicle is protected by twelve tons of ferro-fibrous armor, with a higher amount of armor allotted to its front.
