The Toro Main Battle Tank is a main battle tank designed and produced by Calvetti Industria Pesante S.p.A of Luminerra for use by the Lumenic Army. In service from 1951 until the later stages of the Omandan Continental War when it was replaced by the less capable Mangusta Main Battle Tank, which sought to overcome the advanced armaments of Order of Soviet Socialist Republics by sacrificing armor protection for speed, maneuverability, and a main armament able to destroy Soviet armored vehicles.
