Trajan II Heavy AFV<br />

Overview:<br />

Alexander Trajan, founder of the 5th Roman Empire, that has<br />

evolved into the TOG. The tank that bears his name continues<br />

to be a mainstay of the TOG forces, leading assults and<br />

crushing opposition as it did when it first entered service over<br />

5 decades ago. That age, however, was beginning to show.<br />

Though more than capable, the Trajan’s venerable status was<br />

showing through in it’s electronics, difficulty of repair, and<br />

just all-around older design technology.<br />

The TOG military wasn’t about to lose it’s showpiece assault<br />

tank, especially not one with a name and history as infamous as<br />

the Trajan’s. So, in 6830, proposals were requested to upgrade<br />

the Trajan to current standards. After a quick submittal period,<br />

the firm producing the current Trajans (a government-owned<br />

consortium) won the bid and began immediatly producing<br />

Trajan IIs.<br />

Capabilities:<br />

The Trajan II begins with the Trajan, employing the very same<br />

basic structure frame, modified only to fix up some problem<br />

areas. While the armour foundation process is new, the value<br />

remains the same, as does the shield ratings. Newer Tru-Guard<br />

generators replace the aging Stativari models, improving<br />

efficiency. Newer NBC equipment, internal electronics and<br />

command equipment complete the main hull’s upgrading.<br />

The weapon’s layout of the Trajan has performed well over<br />

the years, and the design team was therefore reluctant to<br />

play with the mix to extensively. As a result, the new Trajan<br />

shares much with it’s older bretheren. The Persius Industries<br />

200mm cannon, the twin Massingale 7.5/6 lasers and the<br />

SMLM launcher remain in their same configuration as before,<br />

occupying familiar terrirory. Revising the Trajan’s mission,<br />

the two AP lasers were removed in favour of more capable<br />

direct-fire weaponry. A GMDC class 15 was added to the<br />

turret, occupying the area once inhabited by the AP lasers.<br />

This still provides good AP potential, while adding a good<br />

punch against tanks and soft targets. The older vulcan has been<br />

replaced by a brand new hi-BUZZ AGAMs system. Equally<br />

effective against missiles as the vulcan, it too helps alleviate<br />

the loss of the AP lasers and can add to the soft-target damage<br />

of the GMDC-15.<br />

Monstrous as it was, the missile system in the Trajan’s belly was re-designed. Twin 4-<br />

tube TVLG systems now reside between the sponsons, while two class 2 Heavy Missiles<br />

were installed with a firing port for each missile nesled again between the sponsons. By<br />

replacing the TVLG-12 system, designers gave the missile system more redundancy,<br />

while adding flexibility with the HMs.<br />

Deployment:<br />

In the final analysis, the Trajan II<br />

becomes no more expensive than<br />

the original. With new technologies<br />

replacing the old, supply costs actually<br />

went down, while the combat potential<br />

went way up. Front-line units are<br />

preparing to take possession, a move<br />

certainly that will create an almost<br />

unwanted deception. This new Trajan<br />

undoubtedly will cause as much havoc<br />

as did the introduction of the original,<br />

leading the TOG to new victories across<br />

the front.<br />
