Description

The Merkava is an ancient heavy battle tank design that started its service life with the Terran Alliance when the Mk. I first deployed in 2294; after the formation of the Terran Hegemony in the early twenty-fourth century, the Merkava Mk. II became a key component of the Hegemony Armed Forces armored units from its introduction in 2384 and was a main battle tank through the Age of War. Eventually, after technological increases left the tank behind, it became a periphery garrison tank where it served ably, if unimpressively, for centuries.
