Type-65 walker (FT)

The Type-65 walker is a medium bipedal walker developed by the New Greater Empire and used by the Imperial Army during the War of Imperial Restoration, Third Imperial Civil War, the First Venturan Conflict and First Empire-Hierarchy War.

Developed as a fast-moving cavalry walker, the Type-65 was designed to provide heavy fire support for infantry as well as operate independently or in squadrons to ambush enemy armour. A rushed production and the lack of resources available to the Imperial Holdouts meant that the walker had several drawbacks, and it had a generally average performance as a second-generation walker. The Type-65 was supplanted by the Type-90 walker in Imperial service and has since been retired entirely by the Imperial Army, but remains in use with the Imperial Frontier Army and various minor militia groups despite its age and extremely outdated design and equipment.

Description
7 metres. Dual pilot; gunner/commander sits behind the driver in a tandem configuration. Open top because the walkers were supposed to be fast-moving ambush predators.

2nd-gen combat walker that led the charge for Imperial Restoration (1st gen was Sentinels). However, it is ridiculously outdated now and only used by the Imperial Frontier and some militias.

The 100 mm high-velocity COMA gun is still pretty dangerous, even if the walkers are slow and clumsy by modern standards. The twin 31.5's are also pretty good at suppressing infantry, but not much else.
