Xanthos XNT-4O

The Xanthos XNT-4O is a 100-ton assault that fights at long range, a 3068 rework of the 2564 XNT-2O that traded its close-in brawling loadout for stand-off gunnery. Where the original juggernaut carried a Large Laser, an SRM 4, and an AC/10 across its torsos, the XNT-4O mounts a Light PPC and an ER Medium Laser in each side torso, an ER Small Laser facing rearward in the left torso, a Heavy PPC in the center torso, and an ER Medium Laser in the head. A Guardian ECM suite now sits in the left torso, and a jump capability of 90 metres gives it mobility the original lacked, though cruising speed holds at 32 km/h with a top speed of 54. The 360 fusion engine gives way to a 300 compact fusion engine, stealth armor replaces the primitive plating of the XNT-2O, and the heat-sink count falls from 18 single sinks to 15 double sinks. Hollis Incorporated builds the type at its Corey plant, with production also carried out at Loxley.
