==Description==<br />
Designed by the Quikscell Company of [[Pandora]], the '''Skanda Light Tank''' was a general use light combat vehicle first produced in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]]. Introduced in the last decade of the [[thirty-first century]], the vehicle would be sold throughout the Inner Sphere until the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] Invasion of the Commonwealth in [[3142]], when the vehicle would become exclusive to the Clan as part of the Falcon's garrison forces.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', pp. 22, 26-27 - Falcons invasion of the Commonwealth noted with year listed.</ref><ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', pp. 18-19 - Skanda's background.</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
The Skanda is swift for a tracked vehicle; this is due in part of its 245-rated extralight fusion engine, powering the vehicle upwards to 118 km/h. This speed allows the tank to serve as ground reconnaissance element for forces unable to deploy airborne units. Modestly armored for a light tank, the Skanda's armored hide is protected with 6.5 tons of Compound VM22 Ferro-Fibrous. <br />
<br />
A turretless design, the Tank’s weaponry is all fixed forward. Its long-reaching firepower, which gives the vehicle the ability to take down airborne elements, comes from a pair of Ultra Class 2 Autocannons. Backup for the autocannons comes in the form of a pair of Series 2b Extended Range Medium Lasers. The tank's fire-control systems are geared towards being able to target opponents at long ranges.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', pp. 18-19 - Skanda's capacities and weaponry.</ref><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* The Skanda was originally conceived by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its Falcon's Prey expansion set. The figure would be used as a general use vehicle in the CGC game. The Vehicle was later adopted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined in the tabletop game once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].<br />
