Dark Juraian Heavy Armor: Battle Movers

Post by Guest »

The Battle Mover is little more than a bipedal war machine with arms but no visible head. It is slow and cumbersome with large plates of armor and a secure pilot compartment, and it is very large in of itself. Roughly the size of a tank, it sports an array of weapons that can be equipped on a moments notice. Some of these to note will be listed below.
The battle mover may have up to 1 back option, 2 side options, and 2 arm options.
*Back option 1* Twin mounted and linked battle cannons, those found on some frigate class space ships are mounted onto the back of the mover. They have a high rate of fire, and like most Dark Juraian weapons they have no recoil.
* Back option 2* Auto Reaper Cannon. Though it is given an impressive name, it is not made for destroying heavy armor. Instead it is made to send a constant stream of fire into infantry units or light armor. The effect of this cannon looks like a constant beam of black and purple lightning that sweeps the battlefield auto tracking enemy movement to keep them pinned down. This weapon was made in the Shikana Wars, for obvious reasons.
*Back option 3* Devastation Beam Shot. This over sized gun weighs the battle mover down considerably and requires the mover to be in lockdown position holding still for several minutes as it charges. This is one of those few weapons that produces a recoil of energy that sends a shockwave from the mover and without proper lock down will send it rolling onto its back. The energy blast it lobs out is like any heavy artillery mortar shell, with increasable range. Because its an energy blast, heavy armor tends to melt more than explode from the impact. The effect leaves a twenty-foot smoldering crater and blinding steam vapor.
*Side Option 1* Wing. Though it takes some power to keep the wing in place it is the best line of defense for the massive, sometimes stationary mover. Capable of rotating around to protecting from multiple angles this wing generator is a very common option for these machines. It is possible to use this option twice.
*Side Option 2* Redemption Launcher. A fancy system of missiles that are not fired by the machine itself unless it is called upon. The block of missiles themselves hold up to ten man sized missiles, each built to be able to spin in place and maneuver through the dense woods of Dark Jurai. The missile are traditionally fired when a covert stealth team uses special lighting devices, like a laser pointer and then presses another button to fire a missile. They do not need to stick around for any longer than that, as the light will glow for a few moments, invisible to the naked eye, till the missile either hits, or is shot down.
*Side option 3* Mobility thrusters. As the name suggests, sometimes it is necessary to get the large machine moving faster than it was built for. These greatly increase the machines speed when it is moving forward, even allowing it to jump over large obstacles.
*Side option 4* Anti-infantry guns. These guns are like machine guns, except that they are lasers. They?re designed to keep fast moving infantry from getting close to the mover, they have little or no effect on other tanks.
*Arm option 1* Key. This key can create a wing, or a blade of energy used for when heavy armor gets too close for comfort. This option can be taken twice.
*Arm option 2* Heat Cannon. This cannon replaces the hand of the arm and fires a tight ball of burning energy to melt through walls or medium armor. Against advanced civilizations it is normally used to overheat other machines systems or kill the crew within. It has a relative slow rate of fire, but it is devastating nonetheless.
*Arm option 3* Smart Missile System. Like the Redemption Launcher?s missiles these missiles are capable of moving around corners, and can spin on a dime. They are arm sized missiles, but pack a powerful punch, often used to drive infantry from fortified positions, or to launch down the barrel of a tank cannon.

Something to note of course is that these machines are not hugely common place on the battle field. They are not legion, and are increadibly hard to make. It is comparable to many of the other races tanks, but it is not as numerous.
