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 />
