Schorpioen I Pantserstrijdwagen

The Schorpioen I Pantserstrijdwagen is a medium tank that is being developed by Osthügel Motorenwerke in cooperation with the Army of the Republic of the United Cities in the Lanzerwald that is expected to take it into service. Development of the vehicle began in 1712 as during the Uprising of Bisera, the army recognised that it needed to invest in modern army capabilities to increase the military advantage of the Lanzerwald republic in comparison to the independent tribes of the Lanzerwald. The medium tanks run on diesel, which is expected to be produced in the refinery of Prins Haven after 1720. In 1713, prospectors of the republic found oil reserves in the coastal waters of Prins Haven, additional reserves have been found inland in 1714 and 1715.
