The Mactliat, translated as Greatwolf or Gray Wolf, was a main battle tank developed by Faneria in the 1970s. It was the first main battle tank put into service by Faneria due to a temporary ban on independent armored manufacture after the Treaty of Loughlin near the end of the Second Great War, and was the primary tank used by the National Army of the Republic until the introduction of the Madiodha.

Design

Fhainnin designers had prepared for the end of the treaty ban on independent armor production since the 1950s, and had both designed prototype chassis, engines, and other systems and reverse-engineered foreign designs from Burgundie and Yonderre which informed the early development of the Mactliat.
