The Dean Files Pegasus Armaments LTX (Military Landcraft)

The Pegasus Armaments LTX (Light Tank Experimental) was designed in response to a solicitation by the Parlek Corporation Security Department for a low maintenance, low manpower light armored vehicle primarily for starport security duties. The Parlek Corporation's idea of what that might entail included a specification that the main weapon was to be capable of penetrating a typical unarmored starship hull. Long range weaponry was not a major requirement, and it was determined that a 16cm gun/mortar system would be suitable. The control and sensor systems are adequate to eliminate the need for more than one operator. Four prototypes are still being evaluated.
