A Slammers tank was a slope-sided iridium
hull whose turret, smooth to avoid shot
traps, held a twenty-cM powergun. The three-
barreled automatic weapon in the cupola
could operate independently or be locked to
the same point of aim as the main gun. Eight
intake ducts pierced the upper surface of
the hull, feeding air down to drive fans in
armored nacelles below.
At rest, the tanks sat on their steel skirts.
When the~vehicles were under way, they
floated on a cushion of air pressurized by the
fans. At full throttle, the power required to
drive a tank was enormous, and the fusion
bottle which provided that power filled the
rear third of the hull.
The tanks were hideously expensive. Their
electronics were so complex and sensitive
that at least a small portion of every tank s
suite was deadlined at any one time. The
hulls and running gear were rugged, but
the vehicles own size and weight im-
posed stresses which required constant
maintenance.
When they worked, and to the extent they
worked, the Slammers tanks were the most
effective weapons in the human universe. As
Warrior was about to prove to two divisions
of Republican infantry
