The DLT-1, officially Dove Light Tank - 1, was Dove Manufacturing's first tank. It was produced in limited numbers and has seen limited action with the only known conflict it was involved in was the Grammarian Civil War during The Assault on Dove's Nest. It, like the rest of Dove's first generation tanks, would stop being produced when DOVE moved to Nova-Baleari. However it laid the ground work for DOVE's tank design and manufacturing. Eventually it would be succeeded by the DLT-2.
