The Black Star Tank is the second Kermonian MBT since the 1998 TT-200 tanks. (This does not mean Black Star-M tank will replace TT200 "Airo", TT-200 will co-exist) TT200 have various strong aspects, such as strong 152mm cannon, however, one of the weakest point of TT200 is the low speed of 50km/h. Original combat doctrine is to use the TT200's high damaging 152mm at the back, and rush the enemies with APCs. However, a great problem for this tactics is that sometimes TT200 cannot focus on every targets of the frontline and the assaulting group only have APCs, which are weak against MBT attacks. Kermonia army is in need of a quick assult tank, and Black Star-M is the solution. With a 70km/h speed, Black Star-M can fulfill the above tasks/shortcoming of the Kermonia Ground Force. New tactics will be Black Star-M will be at the front with APCs, 152mm TT200 will still stay at the back for conquering enemy hard points (like bunkers) that 120mm Black Star-M finds harder. Moreover because the versatility of Black Star tank series to TT200, black star can be used for other purposes, including Black Star-U for Street Warfare, Black Star-E for Export.
