The Falchion is intended as a heavy grav tank. The heavy armour restricts mobility, and the large power plant (45% of vehicle volume and 57% of vehicle cost) required to power the main laser restricts endurance. The sensor suite is fairly powerful, as the designer anticipated a need to engage at extreme range due to the low speed. Extended life support has been installed to permit emergency occupancy of the vehicle for the full 63-hour endurance, but the seating design would render this exceedingly uncomfortable.
