■ 86K-c “Ranseur”

○ Class: Assault Tank

○ This evolution of the “Bardiche” is fitted quad-mounted RPG launchers paired with a high-velocity 12.7mm cannon. The “Ranseur” indicates progress in Kraunian design as they continue to leverage outdated equipment to create deadly, modern armour. ■ Gallagher Highwayman Mk. III
