Named after the dreaded predators of native to the planet Taris, the M-44 is the result of extensive armor research and deep study of RCA tank designs. A combination of RCA's concept of advance technology and ruggedness and reliability of Imperial designs, the Ferrazid features great mobility, good armor and a mounted version of the feared ALT-10 Anti-Tank gun. However, because of it's relative high cost and sophistication, it is only produced to equipped the "Storm" armored regiments of the Stromtrooper Legions and for the garrison of Coruscant.
