Grav Tank (Vehicles) History & Background (Dossier)
Grav tanks develop at tech level 9 when anti-gravity lift becomes available. They tend to be very expensive and can carry enough armor and point defense fire control to render them nearly immune to tactical missiles and HEAP warheads which are the predominant anti-armor weapons of lower technology levels.
