Atacama Primitive Light Tank (NIH)

==Description==
Designed by state-operated Mackenzie company in 2965,, the Atacama is a light tank built with basic materials available on Wynn's Roost, which is a mix of standard and Primitive Technology.
Not regarded as best of vehicles, but often compared more favorably than the Inner Sphere based Quikcell company, which is known for its lack of good quantity control.
The vehicle was created for fan story, Not Invented Here by Acksed
==Armament & Equipment==
Made to combat the most common light tank & partially based upon captured Scorpion chassis itself, the Atacama is mostly used as intimidation: its Medium Rifle barely makes a dent in modern armour, while the industrial armour it is clad in can only hold off at most two AC/5 shots. Any pirate observing from orbit will, however, see one or two full tank lances, and hopefully think twice. Though they were cheap to make, the price to the government was significantly higher, as each one was hand-built, due to the varying states of repair (or completeness) of the chassis. Its only advantage was the increased speed - room was found to cram in a Mackenzie V14 lifted from a tractor, which was then tuned like a sports car and given a transmission and suspension to match. Official stated top speed with tracks was 84 km/h - anecdotal evidence suggests 10 or 15 more unladen and without tracks. Rumours of Atacama racing by bored militia are unsubstantiated.
