Overview:
Long a standby of the HAF, the Emperor was revitalised for the SLDF in 2612
with the EMP-6A entering production for the Royal regiments.
Many older Emperors had been handed over to the militaries of the great houses
during the Reunification War and they continued to see action on occasional
clashes. In 2732, First Prince Richard Davion requested that Star Corps provide
a model improved over the -5A models in service, adopting as much of the
available technology as they could without violating the SLDF's security.
Capabilities:
The EMP-5D shares most of its chassis with its cousin in SLDF service,
including the lightweight engine and improved ammunition bins. Since the SLDF
remained adamant on not releasing the advanced armaments, Star Corps replaced
the Imperator Code Red autocannon and medium lasers with a KaliYama Class 10
autocannon and Magna Mk II medium lasers, which were readily available.
Battle History:
The EMP-5D Emperor saw limited service against the Capellan Confederation
between 2760 and 2762. After 2767, the SLDF activated contractual clauses with
StarCorps that gave them access to the production and a significant number
faced off against the forces of Amaris in the Terran Hegemony.
