"ASTRA" CLASS MAIN BATTLE TANK
This versatile, fast and decently armored tank - designed by StarCorps finest engineers - has everything needed for any full scale military operation.

A small overall silhouette wit a slightly raised turret are the main characteristics of this design. The triangular shape gives a superb armor protection for the front...
...while therefore lacking a bit of back protection. But that is seldom needed, for retreat is never an option.
The "Astra" is designed to be mass produced in large quantities in short time, so that battlefields can quickly get reinforcements.
The BOAST: This tank design came into being along three seperate drinking sessions with several cands and bottles of different beers. It may be that some types of schnapps were involved, too. It uses the rough design language used for the "Templin", which was built right before and stood on the table as reference the whole time. As you can see, the name of one of the involved beers gave the inspiration for the tank's name.
Happy Blarney Build!
