I wasn't particularly proud of the tank or the story, so I went back and rebooted the entire design and I like how it came out. The idea is to have a main battle tank (in fact, it's about the same weight as a full-up Abrams) capable of meeting most direct-fire situations simply by swapping the main gun. Enjoy.

==Overview:==
The Belier (French: Ram) is a heavy OmniTank from the Astral Republic. Its
design dates to the buildup to the Shark War in 3060, and is based heavily on
old Star League technology. It might seem somewhat dated in the present era,
but is no less effective despite its age.
==Capabilities:==
The Belier weighs 70 tons, and is built like a classic heavy tank, albeit one
with modular Omni construction. Its fusion powered tracks provide a top speed
of 64 KPH in most terrain, and it is well protected by ferro-fibrous armor
modules and a fixed AMS on the turret roof.
The Belier is armed in traditional tank fashion, with a main gun and lighter
coaxial weapons all mounted in the turret. This gives the Belier an old
fashioned appearance, not wholly unlike tanks of the early 21st century, which
hides the fact that the Belier's weapons are mounted in Omni pods. The main
gun mount is off center to the left, so that the entire battery is centered in
the turret. The battery can elevate 45 degrees to engage targets at higher
levels, including low flying aircraft.
The Belier's crew accomodations are generous but practical. A ration cooker,
electric toilet and filtered climate control allow the Belier's crew to stay
"buttoned up" for long periods. An e-clip charger keeps the crew's personal
arms ready, and external outlets provide reactor power for a unit camp,
maintenance or other needs. Finally, an external phone box on the Belier's
rear gives RMF infantry a secure, easily accessible means to communicate with
the crew in battle.
==Battle History:==
The Belier has been the direct-fire mainstay of the RMF's armored units in
every conflict since its introduction in 3060.
==Variants:==
As befits an OmniTank, the Belier has evolved with the RMF over the years via
updated model configurations. The models listed are only those favored in
present use.
