It was mentioned in the "What's the Story" thread I started:
http://bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=75237

However, there's no dedicated thread to it.

EDIT: The name and description doesn't make all that much sense, IMHO, especially since the the SPHA-T is quite similar in the basic design.

The only part of the description that really seems important is that it's designed to go places the SPHA-T can't, due to have a lower ground pressure and causing less vibration through its movement. Similar concept to the light armored vehicles the American military wants to develop as a supplement/replacement for tanks: it can go where the heavy stuff can't.
