Mk.96 Land Battleship

The primary treaded land battleship used by the Central Galactic Union Army during the Zaaroft War was the Mk.96 Rhinoceros Land Battleship; designed as a heavy assault and artillery platform, the Rhinoceros can roll into the battlefield armed with an array of missiles, cannons, and a modular weapon. Its wide treads give it superior ground pressure quality and allow it safe passage over most ground types, even mud and snow, despite it weighing over five thousand tons; furthermore, it can carry up to five hundred troops plus their vehicles and equipment. A retractable landing pad has enough space for a medium-sized aerodyne. With these weapons and armour systems combined, the Mk.96 is a potent and deadly battlefield weapon, deployed on the Brigade level in the Union Army.
