Development of the Scorpion light tank began in 2005 when the then-San Doradan Army realized its growing arsenal of Silverado main battle tanks was ill suited for the sort of rapid, air-assault-oriented mobile warfare operations preferred by the SDA. Whilst the Silverado was highly survivable its heavy armor was not necessary to defend against light RPGs and AT-guns, and its relatively heavy weight (45 tons) made air-transport difficult.

abstract	Development of the Scorpion light tank began in 2005 when the then-San Doradan Army realized its growing arsenal of Silverado main battle tanks was ill suited for the sort of rapid, air-assault-oriented mobile warfare operations preferred by the SDA. Whilst the Silverado was highly survivable its heavy armor was not necessary to defend against light RPGs and AT-guns, and its relatively heavy weight (45 tons) made air-transport difficult. The army decided it wanted a lighter, more mobile vehicle for light combat operations that would still be able to fight potential contingency operations against more heavily armed foes. In Februari '05 the contract was handed to Universal Motors, who began development of what would become the UMA 66 Scorpion light tank. Although by the time the project was finished the SDA no longer existed, the North Frequesuan Army was nevertheless impressed with the design and as of 2017 has begun to incorporate the Scorpion into its air assault and mechanized formations. The Scorpion utilizes a host of next-generation combat capabilities. It can provide beyond-line-of-sight offensive firepower capability and has a low profile due to its unmanned turret. Two remote weapons stations provide additional close-in firepower. Improved modular composite armor and underbelly armored protection offer enhanced safety for the crew. The tank crew can use on-board computers to plug into networks in order to accommodate net-generation battle command technologies and are able to beam radio and satellite images, data, and video across the force in real time. The Scorpion also uses hybrid-electric propulsion, which combined with a smaller caliber gun and a consequently greater number of rounds carried vastly simplifies logistics support.
