Skulker Wheeled Scout Tank X-5

The Skulker Wheeled Scout Tank X-5 is a 20-ton wheeled combat vehicle built for the scout role. Where the base model runs on an ICE and mounts a Medium Laser facing front, the X-5 switches to a fusion engine and swaps that weapon for an ER Medium Laser in the same front position. Cruising speed rises from 76 to 86 km/h, with a top speed climbing from 119 to 130 km/h. The hull adds an Angel ECM suite and a Bloodhound active probe, neither carried on the base model, and armor remains standard plate. Joint Equipment Systems builds the X-5 at Panpour, a change from the original's Alshain production line.
