Vehicles/MERKAVA VIII

==Description==
The Merkava (meaning 'chariot' in Hebrew) was the main heavy tank of the Terran Alliance, with variants of the design in service continually since the late 23rd century. The Merkava started its service life with the Terran Alliance when the Mk I first deployed in 2294; after the formation of the Terran Hegemony in the early twenty-fourth century, the Merkava Mk. II became a key component of the Hegemony Armed Forces armored units from its introduction in 2384. The Merkava, produced by Leopard Armor of Terra, was deployed as a front line battle tank throughout the Age of War. The tank gained a kind of symbolic status during its service in the Terran Hegemony and had seen multiple revisions of its basic design over the course of the three centuries it was in service.
