Devastator Fortress Tank


Only one exists on the entire planet. It is painted in white.
It is the Empire's "flagship" on the ground.
The "Devastator" is an impressive instrument of destruction,
but many have questioned its effectiveness in the field of combat.
Opponents of its costly manufacture argue that the vehicle is slow, ponderous and limited in its scope.
It is only truly effective against massive enemy offensives and then only if there has been sufficient advanced warning.
The mobile base would serve to provide troop support, cover, heavy artillery and tactical strikes.
The giant vehicle is actually five armored vehicles in one. The four
smaller vehicles help pull the command center with its giant particle beam acceleration cannon.
They also provide artillery support and troop transportation.
At any point during combat, one or all of the four smaller vehicles can detach from the command section and engage the enemy as separate units.
The following description is broken down into the three major components of the armored assault vehicle:
the forward troop carriers (2), the rear artillery troop carriers (2), and the command center.

IAR-2 Abolisher Assault Robot


Model Type: IAR-2
Class: Infantry Assault Robot
Crew: Six: one pilot, co-pilot, communications officer and three
gunners (each operates a pair of cannons). The top hatch gunner, usually a SAMAS or armored soldier with a heavy weapon can be added as well.
Plus, it can seat two additional passengers.

Speed
Running: 70 mph (112 km) maximum.
Note that the act of running does not tire the robot and speed can be maintained indefinitely.
Leaping: Not recommended because of the weight and disproportionately heavy head/upper body.
Leaps are possible only from a running start and limited to approximately 20 feet (6 m) lengthwise and a height of only five or six feet (1.8 m).
The chance of falling is high. 1-70% likelihood of falling over. Fall causes the IAR-2 to lose all its attacks for 15 seconds while the crew struggles to get the bot to stand back up.
Underwater Capabilities: The IAR-2 is not particularly well suited for underwater operations. The best it can do is walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal running speed.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 4000 feet (1200 m).

Statistical Data
Height: 30 feet (9.1m)
Width: 14 feet (4.3 m)
Length: 14 feet (4.3 m)
Weight: 60 tons fully loaded.
Cargo: Minimal storage space; about four feet (1.2 m).
Power System: Nuclear; average energy life is 20 years.

Weapon Systems
1. C-144 Auto-Cannons (6):
The IAR-2's main weapon is its six, automatic, self-loading cannons.
Two cannons are operated by each of the three gunners.
In case of an emergency, the pilot and/or co-pilot can fire the cannons but the number of attacks are reduced by half.
Each cannon is capable of 90 degree rotation from side to side and up and down.
This gives the weapons an excellent arc of fire and can be used against ground and air targets.
However, it also means there is a 20 foot (6 m) blind spot at its feet and directly above its head.

Primary Purpose: Anti-Tank, Anti-Armor
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: 2 tons each
Rate of Fire: 2,4,6, or 12 times. Each cannon can fire twice per 15 seconds for a total of 12 single shots or six double shots.
However, to rapid-fire all 12 times at the same target will mean having to rotate the entire upper body, repositioning each cannon every time, making the last six or three double blasts -3 to strike.
This also means the top hatch gunner and the lower laser turret can not attack for 15 seconds.
Also, the next 15 seconds, the IAR-2 can only fire a total of six single shots or three double; however, afterwards it can again fire 12 times.
To fire at one target without rotating the body means two cannons can fire for a total of two double blasts or four single shots per 15 seconds.
Of course, it can train its other four cannons on two to four different targets simultaneously from the rear and/or sides.
One of the advantages of the IAR-2 is that it can engage the enemy from all sides simultaneously!
Effective Range: 6000 feet (1828 m) — maximum range is 10,000 feet (3048 m) but the bot is -2 to strike targets over 6000 feet (1828 m) to about 7000 feet (2286 m) and -4 to hit targets beyond that point.
Payload: 240 total; each cannon has a payload of 40 shells. If one cannon is destroyed, its payload is automatically diverted to the other available weapons.
The gunners can also divert payloads from one gun to another (i.e. the forward guns' ammunition is nearly exhausted while the side cannons' payloads are full, they can have the loading system move the side cannon's payload to the front).

2. CR-3T Dual Laser Turret (1, Belly gun): A single doublebarreled laser turret is located on the lower teeth area of the Abolisher. Its primary use is to disperse enemy ground troops in the blind spot of the main cannons. The turret can rotate 180 degrees.
Primary Purpose: Defense
Secondary Purpose: Assault
Range: 2000 feet (610 m)
Rate of Attack: Two per 15 secs
Payload: Effectively unlimited

3. Top Gunner's Hatch (1): Designed to allow a SAMAS or other gunman to perch himself on the crown of the robot and fire down.
It has an outer hatch, and an inner hatch.
4. Hand to Hand Combat: Rather than use a weapon, the robot can engage in hand to hand combat using its fists.

5. Special Sensory Systems of Note:
1. Enhanced Radar: Can identify and simultaneously track up to 96 different targets. Range: 50 miles (80 km). Ground targets are more difficult to track, as usual, unless on open ground and giant-size or flying 100 feet above treetop level.
2. Thermo-Imager: A special optical heat sensor that allows the infrared radiation of warm objects to be converted into a visible image.
Enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke. Range: 2000 feet (610 m).
3. Infrared and Ultraviolet Optics: This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye.
The infrared beam enables the pilot to see in the dark and to see other infrared beams.
The ultraviolet system enables the pilot to see into the ultraviolet spectrum of light and is mostly used to detect the light beams of ultraviolet detection systems.
Note: The infrared light beam can be seen by anybody who also has an infrared optics system and can follow the beam back to its source.
Smoke impairs the infrared beam, making it impossible to see.
4. Nightvision and Video Camera System: The sensor array on the left shoulder has a standard multi-optic system with passive nightvision, telescopic sight and video camera (images transmitted to video screens inside the pilot's compartment).
5. Infrared Searchlights: Built into the face of the Abolisher are a pair of red eyes. These are actually a pair of infrared searchlights.
The lights can be used to scan an area at night, using the invisible light to avoid detection. Only somebody who can also see infrared light will see the beams.
Range: 500 feet(152m).



IAR-5 Hellfire


Robot Scout & Light Assault Unit
A pair of IAR-5 Hellfires are frequently dispatched as the partners of a Abolisher Bot or Troopers; a standard combination for border patrols, and seek and destroy missions against rebels and tanks.
They can also be dispatched as advance scouts for tank patrols, armored reconnaissance teams and in squads of 4-8 for search and destroy missions.
The Hellfire is another experimental design for the Alkor Empire. It is a small, robot vehicle made for scouting and quick, hit and run style assaults.
It is equipped with a pair of rail guns, mini-missiles, double-barreled plasma ejector and light lasers.
The entire upper body where the weapons are housed can rotate 360 degrees, so the Hellfire can spin to face an enemy behind it in a heartbeat, without having to move its legs.
Its sleek, low profile body is made for speed, leaping and maneuvering through all terrains.
The ostrich-like robot has no arms, so its hand to hand fighting capabilities are limited to kicks, stomps, and body blocks.

Model Type: IAR-5
Class: Light Infantry Assault Robot
Crew: Drone Intelligence

Speed
Running: 120 mph (192 km) maximum; it can go from zero to 60 mph (96.5 km) in 8 seconds. Note that the act of running does not tire it and maximum speed can be maintained indefinitely.
Leaping: The IAR-5 can leap 30 feet (9 m) high or lengthwise with a short running start.
A pair of small jet thrusters are located in the rear above the leg joints which are used for jet assisted leaps and propulsion in the water.
A jet assisted leap is 60 feet (18.3 m), either high or lengthwise.
The IAR-5 can also perform running leaps or jump kicks inflicting serious amounts of damage and a chance of knocking giant-sized opponents to the ground.
Underwater Capabilities: The IAR-5 is adequately suited for underwater operations.
It can walk along the bottom of the sea at about 25% its normal running speed or engage its thrusters to travel at a sluggish speed of 10 mph (16km/8.5 knots);
roughly the same surface speed.
Maximum Ocean Depth: 4000 feet (1200 m).

Statistical Data
Height: 14 feet (4.2 m)
Width: 10 feet (3.6 m)
Length: 7 feet (2.1 m)

Power System: Nuclear; average energy life is 20 years.

Weapon Systems
1. HF-36 Hellfire Rail Guns (2): Mounted on both sides of the IAR-5 are a pair of gatling-gun styled rail guns.
They are fixed forward so the Hellfire must bend its knees, pivot or rotate the upper body to shoot at a particular opponent — they are ideal against tanks and giant robots.
Remember, the upper torso of the Hellfire robot can rotate 360 degrees in a heartbeat.

Primary Purpose: Assault
Secondary Purpose: Defense
Weight: Rail Gun: 300 Ibs (135 kg) each.

T-400 "Phantom" Hover Tank

The T-400 Hover Tank is called the "Phantom" because it moves quickly and silently on a cushion of air.
All that can be heard is the low hum of the engines and gentle whoosh as it passes.
This gives the tank a base prowl ability in daylight, and even moreso in darkness.
The tank is an all-terrain vehicle that can even ride water like a hydrofoil. It is an excellent infantry tank.

Death Bringer APC

The Death Bringer Transport is a heavily armored, flying, Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) used to transport combat troops.
Power armor and small manned robots and troops on small flying vehicles are typically its cargo.
In such cases, the Death Bringer may not even have to land. Instead, it slows down, opens its doors and lets its troops leap into action — it is a particularly frightening sight to see a swarm of SAMAS, Super SAMAS or small flyers rocket out of the Death Bringer's bays and into action.
When land troops are transported, a ramp slides out from the five bay doors to allow quick disembarkment of troops, small bots and small vehicles (hovercycles, jeeps, etc.).
The large, side Death's Head with the laser turret crowning its forehead is actually a reinforced bay door that slides up to let the somewhat large power armor, bots and vehicles to exit.
A pair of laser ball turrets are located at the front and rear of the APC. A single turret is also located above the Death's Head bay door.
The main gun is a high-powered cannon that fires powerful plasma shells equal to the mini-missile but without any special guidance system — the cannon points and fires.

20-30 troops on Scout Rocket Cycles with 6-10 SAMAS escorts.
25-30 or Hellfires.

Speed
Land: The Death Bringer can hover above the ground as low as four feet (1.2 m), but when that close to the ground, maximum speed is 200 mph(320km).
Water: The Death Bringer can also hover across the surface of water at a speed of 100 mph (160 km) and even submerge itself underwater up to an ocean depth of 2000 feet (610m) and travel at about 25 miles (40 km/21 knots) an hour.
However, it cannot open its bay doors underwater without flooding and sinking.
Flying: Four huge banks of jet thrusters are located on the sides of the transport. Three small thrusters are also located in the rear, center section. Flying speed is a respectable 400mph (643.6km), but maximum altitude is limited to 6000 feet (1828m).
Flying Range: The nuclear power supply gives the transport years of life. The air cooled hover jets can function continuously for 24 hours before starting to get overheated.
With a half hour to an hour cooling off period every 8-10 hours, the vehicle can be operated constantly without fear of overheating and damage to the propulsion system.

Statistical Data
Height: 36 feet (llm) overall; the body of the APC is 26 feet (7.9 m) tall, but the top cannon turret adds 10 feet (3 m) to the overall height.

Enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke. Range: 2000 feet (610 m).
2. Infrared and Ultraviolet Optics: This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye.
The infrared beam enables the pilot to see in the dark and to see other infrared beams. The ultraviolet system enables the pilot to see into the ultraviolet spectrum of light and is mostly used to detect the light beams of ultraviolet detection systems.
Note: The infrared light beam can be seen by anybody who also has infrared optics, and the beam can be traced back to its source. Smoke impairs the infrared beam, making it impossible to see.
3. Lights: Built into the mouth area of the face of the Death's Head is one large searchlight that can rotate in a 45 degree arc.
On the front of the hover system housings and bottom of the large bay doors are four lights used for landing and disembarkment as well as visual searches, that also serve as infrared searchlights.
The lights can be used to scan an area at night using the invisible light to avoid detection.
Only somebody who can also see infrared light will see the beams. Range: 300 feet (91.5m), 1000 feet (305m) for the searchlight.
4. Enhanced Radar: Can identify and simultaneously track up to 96 different targets. Range: 200 miles.



CS APC Sky Lifter

The Sky Lifter is another one of the Alkor Military's giant Death's Head Transports. It is designed as a robot and vehicle transport with minimal weapon systems and a huge cargo bay. The Sky Lifter is typically part of a larger convoy and/or escorted by a squadron of Sky Cycles, Rocket Cycles or SAMAS. Its only weapon systems are a powerful, concealed rail gun and concealed medium-range missile launchers.
The four, side, bay doors are 22 feet (6.7 m) tall and 18 feet (5.4 m) wide with sliding ramps for loading.
Larger vehicles and cargo must use the rear cargo door which is 50 feet (15.2 m) tall by 40 feet (12.2m) wide.

Sky Lifter Death's Head Transport
Model Type: AFC-060
Class: Air Armored Troop Carrier
Crew: 20; one pilot, one co-pilot, two gunners, two communication engineers, and 14 crew to handle and secure cargo — six use power lifters to lift, carry and stow heavy equipment.
Cargo/Troop Capability: The Sky Lifter can accommodate the following combinations:
As many as 18 thirty foot (9 m) robot vehicles, or ...
12 ground APCs or tanks, plus the crews to pilot them and the troops transported with them.
If transporting human-sized troops, the Sky Lifter can accommodate roughly one battalion — 640 troops in full combat gear plus a half dozen small to medium-sized vehicles or a dozen Super SAMAS or Terror Troopers.

Speed
Land: Unlike the Giant Death's Head Transport, the Sky Lifter can hover above the ground as low as four feet (1.2 m).

CS Scout Hover Rocket Cycle

Nicknamed the "Slingshot," the Scout Rocket Cycle is a fast, one-man combat vehicle. It has proven to be a favorite of Special Forces, Commandos and "Bike Boy" Aces, particularly those assigned to reconnaissance, search and destroy missions, guerilla warfare, surgical strikes and infiltration behind enemy lines. The rocket cycle is not much bigger than a conventional motorcycle, is amazingly maneuverable and well armed.
A squadron (6-10) has been known to rip apart a lone, enemy convoy with relative ease and little, if any, loss of man or vehicle.
Four rapid-fire pulse lasers are located in the front, backed up by a pair of mini-missile launchers.
Directional, ball thrusters in the front, side (rear), and bottom help to provide stability at great speeds and for VTOL. The two jet engines in the tail provide dizzying speed.
The eyes of the Death's Head are high-intensity headlights.

XM-250 Medical Hover Station

The XM-250 is a giant, mobile field hospital.
It has eight surgical stations, a laboratory with refrigeration units, x-ray machine, quarantaine chamber, 12 hospital beds, 24 bunks (Plus bunks for the crew to rest and sleep on in the field), four surgical teams, four field medics, four Medic Pods and just about everything else you'd expect to find at a medical facility.
The vehicle is large and bulky, heavily armored and equipped with defensive weapons to use against attackers.
The surgical station rarely uses its weapon to instigate an attack, unless ordered by the Empress or another high ranked authority, and only then with great reluctance.
It is usually escorted by four to six Lightning Combat Jets, or Blacktalons, or other craft.
