The Bandit hover tank is a formidable 50-ton combat vehicle that has played a significant role in the Inner Sphere conflicts. Originally designed by the Clan, this highly adaptable OmniVehicle was brought to the Inner Sphere by Wolf’s Dragoons. Equipped with three Blackwell Opal medium lasers in its turret, two front-mounted Blackwell Pilum SRM-2 launchers, and a machine gun, the Bandit is a versatile vehicle that can provide both short and long-range fire support. Its carrying capacity of up to eight tons of infantry space also makes it an ideal vehicle for transporting troops into battle. The Bandit was primarily used by the Wolf’s Dragoons, who took great care to conceal its true nature and often reconfigured the tanks to confuse enemy attempts to estimate the actual quantity of their forces. Its impressive capabilities and rich history make it an essential part of BattleTech lore.
