Heavy Armour The Scarab Tank destroyer was quickly replaced by the Gallieni. The Scarab - despite being somewhat of a field expedience - had been a successful weapon system and its replacement  had a similar layout - a turret-less hull on a hover drive train with a fixed mount main weapon - however the laser based armament was replaced by two powerguns: a 20cm with a Tribarrel at the commanders hatch. The Gallieni had better frontal armour than the Scarab but managed to maintain the same speed. In addition to the Gallieni, however, a new turreted Heavy Tank Destroyer was specified: the Garibaldi. This system - also coming into use in the same period with their allies in the Gallic League the Compagnie de Barthe - is also fitted with powerguns, and - although smaller in calibre at 15cm than those fitted to the Gallieni - two of them are squeezed into a small turret. The Garibaldi also featured a tribarrel secondary and a small Manta ATGW launcher. The price it paid, though, was both bulk and speed: it was slower than the Gallieni and rather easier to spot. From the same source as the Compagnie de Barthe, the Legion also purchased hulls for a new medium tank and a new heavy tank to be called the Shamont and the Larminat. The turrets for both of these vehicles, however, came from Mitsusaki Industries on Hiroseke rather than the source for the hulls. Like on its predecessor, the Shamont Medium Tank uses an advanced 17cm Medium Laser for the main gun although - unlike the Firefly where the secondary weapon was another lighter laser - the powerplant on the Shamont is dedicated to only running the main weapon allowing for both finer control and prolonged bursts. In consequence, the secondary weapon is a self-contained powergun tribarrel. Both of these weapons can be used in the AAA role.
