Fluff states that it first saw production in 2892 but at the same time Operation Klondike say it was a classical SLDF tank.

How is this possible?

According to Welshman's Twitter the final MUL is near ready, so we will learn the real date soon enough.  Perhaps it was built on Terra for exclusive SLDF use and later a state began production when finding the plans.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Seems like another retcon. I would guess that date will eventually become its introduction to the Houses like the Mammoth and Behemoth class Dropships.

Because TRO 3058 is in error.  Per TR2036 and TR3039 the Harassar was designed as a complement to the Galleon.  The Harasser was introduced in 2829.  Also the 3025 entry for the Galleon mentions that it was used against amaris.  So obviously it is an error in TR3058.

The other explanation is that since the fluff explicitly says that Brooks Inc began producing the Galleon in 2892, maybe someone else was producing it prior to that.

Exactly what I thought.

Thanks.

Vehicles from 3026 were the hardest to determine availability when we did the first fanbook FM Terran Republic. We concluded very few vehicles in that book were available circa 2785.
