Description
Tonnage: 75

Introduced in 2620 by Leopard Armor of Terra for the Star League Defense Force, named in honor of Colonel Alfred Padilla, the Padilla heavy artillery tank was created as companion to the Chaparral. Stationed well back from the front lines, the Padilla was usually paired with light, fast BattleMechs equipped with Target Acquisition Gear. If caught in a firefight, the Padilla relied on its speed and manoeuvrability for protection, as it was built with only five and a half tons of armoring. The vehicle's primary weaponry is its forward mounted Arrow IV Missile Launcher, stocked with six tons of ammunition. The vehicle's defensive weaponry consists of a pair of  Medium Pulse Lasers and an Anti-Missile System with two tons of ammunition. Th tank also mounts a TAG.
