The Chevalier is a well-designed, versatile tank capable of performing for extended periods between maintenance and resupply depots. A turret-mounted ER-large laser serves as the tank's primary weapon, while a pair of forward-firing Streak-2 short-range missile launchers provide additional firepower up to 300 meters. Originally designed as a fast reconnaissance tank, the Chevalier has been superseded by a host of new vehicles armed with sophisticated electronics systems. However, the ComGuard continues to employ massive numbers of Chevaliers for reconnaissance and among screening forces. The Explorer Corps commonly uses ComGuard Chevaliers as planetary rovers, deploying them with garrison forces.
