| The '''SAV-6''', officially designated the '''Standard Armored Vehicle, Mk. 6''', was a Urcean medium tank in use during the Great War. Urcea's first medium tank, it was designed to fight other armored fighting vehicles in support of infantry units. The SAV-6 was designed with observations of Imperial Legion armor in mind, and the SAV-6 was effective in its earliest years of deployment of countering and destroying Caphirian light tanks used in support of infantry. Beginning in 1940, the SAV-6 eventually saw use as a breakthrough cruiser tank effectively during LOTA counter-attacks in Veltorina. The SAV-6's competitive edge had been lost by late 1941, and the SAV-9 was designed to replace all Urcean tanks and become the standard armored unit. The SAV-6 remained in service in all theaters until May of 1945, after which time it was relegated to the Audonian theater for infantry support. Considered a pioneering and reliable design, the SAV-6 is consistently rated by historians as one of the best tanks of the Great War.
