This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on
a website or the like. The files at omeyer.gmxhome.de are down until
I fix the automatic PDF generation, which should be one of these
days - see sourceforge.net/projects/gurpsml

Space Marine Medium Grav Tank Mk.II v1.0 (TL13)
Copyright 2013 by Onno Meyer
The Medium Grav Tank is used to spearhead spacemobile operations when
orbital bombardment is not an option. The antiparticle beam can destroy
hardened targets from the protection of heavy armor and stealth.
In addition to the 5.76-gigajoule antiparticle accelerator, the Mk.II
is armed with a coaxial grav mortar and four point defense systems. The
weapons are mounted in a remotely operated turret, with the power cell
and active and passive sensors. The crew has protected workstations in
the rear of the hull, behind a 180mm glacis plate and the reactor. The
mortar magazines are down in hull as well, for ease of reloading.
It takes 13 minutes to recharge one antiparticle shot. A full load of
80mm ammunition is $50,050.
Subassemblies: Body +5, full-rotation Turret +4.
Powertrain: Two 100,000-lb. vectored mega reactionless thrusters; four
500,000-lb. contragrav generators; 30,000-kW fusion reactor;
504,000,000-kWs rechargeable power cell.
