"Lion rearing for combat!"

Tactical analysis

 * Hear me roar: The lion is the MBT of the Warband, armed with a powerful tesla cannon and the heaviest armor the Navaheims can put while keeping its speed relatively unscathed.
 * Charge: Despite its armor still being weak when compared to other factions equivalent it should not be taken lightly, with Lion drivers being known for their tendency to charge at the enemy lines, shifting almost all of their forcefield to the front, while firing as quickly as possible, something which can turn the tide of battle. The speed at which the Lion moves and their reinforced front makes it difficult for enemies to hit it, and with its considerable mass, it can be used as a literal battering ram. On the other hand, this maneuver could easily leave the tank in a poor position afterwards.
 * Covering fire: The Lion also carries a sonic rocket on its turret, which can fire farther then its cannon, which can stun a group on units before they charge in
 * Exposed back: Note that its aggressive design while giving it a frontal armor tougher then others comes with the cost having weak side armor and non-existent rear armor so watch out for flankers and heavy anti-tank weapons. Especially since has little health compared to its armor and other counterparts

History
After going through multiple skirmishes, mostly Reclaimers, the Navaheim had found a frustrating problem. Despite their best effort they kept suffering from heavy tank causalities.

The root of said problem had stemmed from their military doctrine, weakening the enemy with a few long range strike then charge in with full force to roll over the weakened forces, since their old tanks they had were suited for hit and run, prioritizing speed and power over armor, and would crumble to a direct anti-tank shot. And despite focusing on trying to find a suitable design all of it had a problem, either it was armored enough but too slow and/or weak, or it was fast but lacked the armor needed and/or lacked power. Until an engineer suggested a design deviating from the template. And thus had came the Lion.

The Lion is equipped with a high-powered tesla cannon able to punch holes into any armor. A powerful engine allows the vehicle to reach astounding speeds despite its armor, and a small rocket that fires off a sonic wave that leaves infantry and vehicle crews reeling. This lightning fast tank is not only an ideal counter-offense against conventional forces, it lives up to its name as a swift instrument of death. But to accommodate for the powerful engine and heat generation of the cannon its rear is almost completely unarmored and taken up by its huge engine, with nothing defending it but a forcefield, leading to many commanders mockingly call it 'the tank without pants'. But those who survived tend to warn others to not underestimate its funny nickname.
