The Panzer 58 and 61 are a series of main battle tanks produced by a joint Gallian-Erebonian effort to produce a tank which will be the standard issue for both armies with a cost-effective condition. Along with the Leopard Mk I, It formed the bulk of the Gallian and Erebonian Armored Corps. It also saw service with the Quenminese Militia and the Joyonghean Militia. It was replaced by the Gallian Leopard Mk II but it continues to see service up to this day.
