			The [[Lyran Commonwealth]] shifted their military philosophy in the 3000's as [[BattleMech]]s became more rare in the waning years of the [[3rd Succession War]]. Defiance Industries Vehicle Division set out to create a modern fighting vehicle, believing that tanks would grow more viable as attrition took its toll on the 'Mech forces of the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces\|LCAF]].

			The Patton and Rommel were born from this idea, a pair of tanks that shared a common chassis and layout, but separated by primary design function. They were faster than the ''[[Demolisher]]'' while carrying better armor and maintaining a relatively comparable arsenal.<ref name="TRO3025R" />

	~~Data~~		Built with a low profile turret that utilized Defiance Industries' redesigned Killer Type T and 'Mech Hunter autocannons, present a significantly smaller silhouette than many of their competitors, such as the Manticore.

			The ''Patton'' carries 20 volleys for its Class 10 autocannon, while the ''Rommel'' has a 15 volley load for its Class 20, allowing both to maintain a reasonable combat endurance in battle. Both have a 120 missile load for their Coventry Weapon Works Five-Tube Missile Systems, ensuring a solid stock for engagements while closing in. Both systems present issues due to the design of the turret, with smoke sometimes clouding the crew compartment from the missiles, and the main guns struggling to raise their barrels to engage 'Mechs above the legs at ranges under 90 meters.

			Each model features a pintle mounted Small Laser that can be controlled by the tank commander from inside or through the top hatch, while the ''Patton'' carries an additional Flamer mounted on the front of the vehicle.

			The ''Patton'' is the better armored of the pair, carrying 14.5 tons of Durallex Heavy armor, while the ''Rommel'' is equipped with 11.5 tons, though both surpass the ''Demolisher'' they were built to compete with.

			The unit is supplied by a powerful Magna 260 [[Fusion Engine]], making them both highly reliable, but also dramatically reduced the number of tanks that could be constructed. Eventually the Commonwealth rectified the issue by building more engines on [[Tharkad]], allowing the ''Patton'' and ''Rommel'' to become some of the premier line tanks of the LCAF.<ref name="TRO3025R" />

			'''Patton PPC'''
			Built to operate far longer than normal, this version was engineered for prolonged combat. A [[PPC]] is mounted on the turret, complimented by an [[SRM 6]] and a pair of [[Machine Gun]]s. The body mounts an [[SRM 4]] and a third Machine Gun. Two tons of ammo feed each bin, allowing this version of the ''Patton'' to remain in the field well beyond most tanks.

	~~Data~~		'''Rommel Gauss'''<br>
			A product of the [[Clan Invasion]], it replaced the weapons load entirely, putting a [[Gauss Rifle]] in the turret, supplemented by a pair of [[Medium Laser]]s and Machine Guns. Two more Machine Guns were added to the front, and one in the back of the hull. To help make room, the unit carries ten tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor.
