The Scorpion was designed by Bandit Ground Systems as an inexpensive light tank which is airmobile and fast. Subsequently, it was adopted by the Pilotmario Army for use with airborne units.

They were only deployed once in combat as airborne tanks, with mixed results. During the Battle of Seegson Line, Pilotmario Army paratroopers of the 111th Airborne dropped in with Company A of the 1st Airborne Armored Division engaged the 11th Leonidas Division. Of the 36 vehicles deployed, five were destroyed either attempting to land or upon landing. 11 machines were damaged, and two fell behind enemy lines and the crews unable to reach them. Of the 11 damaged tanks, 8 were made serviceable. The remaining 26 tanks participated in the assault on Seegson Central Bridge, where they proved instrumental to taking the bridge. Loyalist Spartan units guarding the bridge did not anticipate paratroopers with tanks, and retreated in panic.

However, on Sanctan Cemetery Hill, three tanks were sent to provide fire support, but were ordered to retreat as they attracted too much fire and infantry casualties began to mount as a result. When defending Seegson Central Bridge, the tanks were found to be vulnerable to anti-tank weapons, the Artemis' 105mm coilgun, and even heavy machine guns with armor-piericing ammunition against any part of the tank other than the turret and the hull front. Still, their 30mm cannon can engage the side armor of an Artemis at combat ranges, and were well-regarded by paratroopers, who beforehand, did not have any armored vehicles at all.

While the Pilotmario Army were satisfied with the performance of the Scorpion light tank, they never employed the machine as an airborn tank, and the 1st Airborne Armored Division would be deployed as conventional reconnaissance units for the rest of the war. In this role, they were successful. This vehicle is an example of a Scorpion deployed as a reconnaissance machine; spare components such as track links and road wheels as well as the storage box at the back of the turret and unditching logs at the back were not fitted when they were deployed as airborne tanks.
