A man is seen walking towards a factory hangar. The hangar doors open and the man enters. Occupying a small portion of the hangar's space is a T-100A MBT which is painted in a livery which isn't the standard Sviatoslav-issued "Armata-2" field green or any Sviatoslavian camo. The tank is painted in a dull dark gray. The man walks over and begins to inspect the vehicle, as soldiers and mechanics look on, wearing uniforms that are the same dark gray color, with red highlights.

The tank appears to have been heavily customized and modified, as extra viewports, targeting computers and lights have been added, far more advanced than the ones equipped on the standard T-100, and even the T-100A. The viewports glow bright red due to the computers and monitors inside illuminating a red aura. Two rocket launchers have been added to the top of the turret, with the absence of some of the ERA blocks previously mounted. The launchers can fire a variety of ammunition, from anti infantry, anti tank, smoke rounds, flash, etc.

Extra ERA and spaced armor has been mounted on, the standard 12.7mm machine gun has been replaced by a KPV heavy laser machine gun. The man inspects the suspension and running gear, which has been substantially upgraded to provide better cross-country and off-road performance. The road wheels have been switched out and re-arranged so that they bear resemblance to the WW2 German overlapping road wheels.

As the man makes his way to the rear of the tank, there lack of vents and additional external parts seen on previous T-100 tanks. The turbine engine has been switched out and a micro reactor replaced instead.

The reactor has been modified by engineers and can pump out 45,000hp, which allows the tank to move far faster than the regular T-100As (95-105kph). The man makes his way to the front of the tank, where the gun is. The gun, much longer is the powerful 2A7M1 laser found on the newest MBT in Sviatoslavian service, the T-90MA1. Extra viewport and cameras are visible. The whole frontal structure has been reworked to accommodate brighter headlights and a radar system.

On the front right mudguard, a single word is etched onto the armor: "Svetlana".

The man steps back, and whispers: "Yes... Svetlana...". He turns around and yells: "Comrades! I am Dimitri Vezov, greatest tank ace in the world! Svetlana is ready to combat, and I shall bring glory to the motherland!"

OOC: Dimitri Vezov is Sviatoslav's greatest tank ace. Backstory TBA for now (inspiration taken from Enterprise)
