MTU-575 Matador

The MTU-575 Matador is a United Earth Federation 8x8 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicle and tank destroyer. Developed by the UEF after experiences in the Pirate War or First Space War, it focused heavily on mobility and firepower. Designed primarily for flanking maneuvers and reconnaissance, it could also carry 4-6 passengers in the back.

The Matador would see heavy action during the 1st Interstellar War and later the Sentinel Wars before being replaced by the superior FAV-313 near the end of the 2nd Sentinel War.

Armament
The Matador uses a revolver/drum autoloading system to load its powerful 150mm KA Cannon. Two drums with 15 shells each, for a total of 30 shells, and can be configured to carry different shells. Such shells include; discarding sabot, high-explosive, anti-personnel flechette shells. However as a consequence of this system the vehicle is overall only limited to 30 shells and cannot be reloaded from inside the turret, effectively forcing the vehicle to withdraw to a supply vehicle, base or unit. This was not seen as a major issue however and the vehicle saw a successful service life.
