Technical and Historical Notes: The Uhu is an all-purpose fast moving battle tank primarily seen in the Imperial Capital as a mainstay of the Polizei police force. It has recently been modified and given six high-energy plasma sphere launchers instead of the original four. It also has the ability to carry an additional weapon on its aft section, usually a higher-end McMillan gunpod. It too faced the Einhänder threat in 2245, and was considered one of the tougher machines under Polizei control. The antigrav magnetic pads on its hull are much like that of the Schabe's, and function in the same manner.
