Overview
The Bast, or 'Bad Kitty' as she is known to her crews, is the standard fusion main battle tank for the Periphery March expeditionary forces. While fusion engines are consideed too expensive for reserve forces, sharing powerplants with the battlemechs used on raids and rapid deployments makes for a simplified logistics train.
Deployment
The B model Bad Kitty packs a close-in punch - a massive Defiance Killer Type T Autocannon, with a signature trio of Defiance B3M medium lasers. Working as a bodyguard for it's PPC armed stablemates or as a urban abush predator, the Bast B can create a 'zone of no' on a battlefield as lighter units simply stay out of rnage rather than risk engagement.
