The Empyria Institute of Science and its Arms Manufacturing Industry Wing, after fulfilling Empyria's goal for a new company of tanks and new equipment for its infantry divisions, is prepared to open its doors to the world for the export of our new equipment. While our economy is strong, we believe it would be a good idea for our government funded military industry to open our doors to pay for our Arms Research without having to raise the taxes of the people of our country. The following is a list of new equipment ready for export and the amount of which are ready for export. We are however, working on a Cash and Carry policy. While payment over six months is acceptable, transportation of the materials bought must be provided by the recipient.

More Equipment shall be added to the list as the industrial complexes are ready.

MT-45 'Archon' Medium Tank
Crew: 3
Armament: One 'Hunter F12' 105mm Cannon; One Dual 7.62mm co-axial machine-gun; One 12.76mm Anit-Aircraft machine-gun (Prime Variant); Two Turret-Mounted 'Saber' Missiles (Hellfire Variant); Two Turret-Mounted Rapier Rocket Systems (Lightfoot Variant)
Armour: Steel Welded with Glacis Plate.
Dimensions: Length (including main aramament) 30ft 9in; Length (hull) 21ft 5in; Width 10ft 6in; Height 7ft 1in;
Weight: 86,985 lb
Engine: Omnipotent-1500 produces 1034hp
Performance: Road Speed 49 mph; road range 310 miles
SideNotes: Spacious area for the three crewmembers: Driver, Commander and Gunner. The Loader has been removed from the Archon Medium Tank in favor of an autoloader. Carries a normal loadout of 65 rounds of ammunition. Driver is on the left with the gunner and commander in the turret. The 'Hellfire' Variant carries two Saber missiles on the right side of the turret as a means of quickly defeating heavier Main Battle Tanks. The Sabers however, replace the Anti-Aircraft machine gun. The 'Lightfoot' Variant carriers two 'Rapier' Rocket System with one Rapier System on each side of the turret. The Rockets are dumbfire with the same degree of elevation as the gun turret. Each System has six rocket ports with 24 rockets per system. They are meant to deal with infantry in hard cover or in place where using the cannon is impractical or a waste of good ammunition.
Cost: $20 Million

Although not as powerful as Empyria's Stormfire Main Battle Tank or Black Knight Heavy Battle Tank, the Archon Medium Tank sacrifices armour and firepower in exchange for speed and manueverability. While the 105mm cannon is nowhere near the firepower of the Stormfire's 120mm Smoothbore or the Black Knight's 125mm Smoothbore, the Archon can stand toe-to-toe with many combatants. Where the Archon suffers is armour plating, though she can stand one to two shots without taking serious damage. If seriously threatened, her speed and smokescreen system enable her to escape quickly.

MT-60 'Stormfire' Main Battle Tank
Crew: 3
Armament: One 'Illustrator' 120mm Smoothbore Cannon; One 7.62 co-axial machine-gun; two 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine-gun
Armour: Steel Welded with Glacis Plate.
Dimensions: Length (including main aramament) 32ft 9in; Length (hull) 24ft 7in; Width 12ft 5in; Height 7ft 3in;
Weight: 90,153 lb
Engine: Omnipotent-2900 produces 1271hp
Performance: Road Speed 46 mph; road range 310 miles
SideNotes: Like the Archon Medium Tank the Stormfire also has an autoloader, so the crew is at three. The ammunition amount for the tank is 75 rounds.
