The Bata Revo is named after a mythological wolf-like Naram animal known for its ferocity in defending its young. Humans have translated the name as Wolverine.
Design Philosophy and Tactical Role[]
Like the Viper, the Wolverine is a Naram double-hull grav combat vehicle. It is moderately well-protected, and its 100mm Gauss cannon is capable of savaging the armour of any opposing vehicle with a few shots. The Wolverine is a magnificent vehicle for planetary raids. Its AP laser is effective against TOG rear-area garrison units, which consist mostly of infantry, and its large missile load allows it to operate without resupply for a considerable time. Because of the tank´s low mass, an assault ship can carry a number of these vehicles, while its high acceleration limits the time the assault force is exposed to high-altitude defensive fire.
Even with all of these good features, some feel that the Wolverine is inferior to its TOG counterpart, the Aeneas. It also mounts an AP laser instead of a conventional light laser, as the Aeneas does. In a short battle, the Aeneas has a tactical advantage because it can utilise this extra laser, while the AP laser on the Wolverine is useless against tanks. Only after the Aeneas has expended its TVLGs does the advantage return to the Wolverine, which carries twice the missile load. Most tacticians believe that the outcome of a battle between those two vehicles would be decided well before that time.
