Jaguar class grav tank
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Vehicles contents

The Jaguar class grav tank was the first grav tank design to enter service with the United Worlds Commonwealth. A number of variants exist and a large number remain in service with reserve and training units.

Designed at the same time as the Fox class armoured personnel carrier the Jaguar shares many components resulting in a lower parts inventory being required. Compared to the APC the Jaguar grav tank is slow, but for its time well armoured and armed.
