Depicted is an Imperial Repulsortank 1-M actively serving within the ranks of the Imperial Army.
A medium repulsortank was a specific class of tank that hovered, using repulsorlift tech for movement. These repulsortanks lacked the heavy armor or the potent firepower of a heavy repulsortank. They also didn't have the enhanced speed, agility, and handling of a light repulsortank. The design aimed to merge the strengths of both types. However, this did not always work out as planned.
The classification of medium repulsortank was formally recognized within the Imperial army. A standard imperial armor platoon would consist of eight of these tanks, in addition to a command vehicle. In contrast, platoons of heavy repulsortanks were structured with only four tanks. This number could be increased by doubling it, with the addition of four armor sections. Each of these armor sections would contain two medium repulsortanks.
