When the November 2887 Shutoral aerial assault on New Chicago destroyed the Damero/Onivas engine plant, production of hover type heavy armour, including the badly needed THOR heavy railgun air defence system ceased. As an emergency measure the 85(P) was created utilising the TAV-85 chassis. Though marginally effective as designed, the 85P proved to be an excellent anti-armour and stand off assault weapon until replaced by the TAV-85(J) Jaguar.
