The main battle tank of the Yaeger, the Claw has proven quite
successful against Imperial armor, dealing with the Imperial class
hovertanks with ease, and often taking on AT series walkers with
some measure of success. Unlike Imperial design, which stresses
triumph over the elements, the Claw is designed to become a part of
it's environment, enabling it to be relatively stealthy, often
getting it's first salvo off at unaware targets.
Claw tanks have a very low profile, and their ceramic/duralloy
armor has some sensor baffling properties, raising the difficulty
of sensor checks to pick up the vehicle by one level. The Claw has
very powerful primary drive, enabling it to carry several hundred
kilograms of additional camouflage (earth, branches, etc.), raising
the sensor difficulty another level.
The Claw is a very adaptable vehicle, designed to be used in
virtually any atmospheric condition. Modifications for the most
common conditions are standardized, but even unusual terrain types
can be handled by the Claw, with a little effort on the part of the
maintaining techs.
The speed, power and camouflage of the Claw renders it ideal
for hit and fade attacks, and it's superior armor allows it to
stand and fight for a few rounds before it flees. Still, Yaeger
heavy ground forces are almost always highly outnumbered by their
Imperial counterparts, so Claw commanders will rarely risk their
vehicles in that manner, seldom taking more than a single salvo
before heading for the hills.
