Description
Designed by Trioer Industries, this heavy tank was originally employed by Sarithnia as the core armored unit of the planetary militia. Following the Saritheans refusal to join the Corithi Confederacy, this tank saw extended use in the Corithi-Sarthean War of 3605 - 3608 GS and was the primary reason the resistance of the Saritheans was able to last as long as it did. It's effectiveness was apparent to the Corithi who later adopted it into their core military.
It's fore is sloped to deflect incoming fire, with two Rithi Long Barrels mounted on to either side of the main body. It has one Kroops made Mortar Cannon on top which allows it to bombard targets long before they are in range of the main cannons. It's unique design allows it to pivot quickly off its rear wheel allowing for quick adjustments to the mortar's aim as well as permitting this slow tank to quickly turn to face incoming threats. It's greatest weakness is it's forward speed, which dips far below the standard tanks of the Corithi Military. Because of this, it is primarily used in defensive roles or in long term bombardment of targets.
