Tanks were armored cavalry ground assault vehicles that were capable of extreme mobility thanks to their tracks, or a repulsorlift. Used by armies as part of armored cavalry units, they were designed for front-line combat as well as intimidation. They typically boasted large laser cannons mounted on turrets or other powerful anti-vehicle weaponry, and were heavily armored to protect the troops operating the weapons and the propulsion systems inside.[1]
