Death Tanks
 |
E-Class Honor Guard
This tank used to be used for ceremonial purposes by the UGA, before conflict broke out across the galaxies. A particularly successful General would be awarded with one of these tanks and have the privilege of using it in ceremonies and parades. However, far fewer generals began to get the distinguished honor and ultimately the tank was modified for practical purposes and more widely produced. Young tank pilots whose eyes grow big for glory will often be seen in one of the Honor Guards, while older pilots consider it foolish.

K-Hawk Superlight
The K-Hawk was the first tank to ever be modified with jump jets. However, before they were known as the first flying tank they were widely used because of their light weight, making them far easier to transport. However, interstellar travel has dwindled to a minimum so the Superlights were weighted down to make them more fit to fight opposing tanks. Pilots who choose the K-Hawk Superlight tend to have an affinity for history and thoroughly enjoy their time spent in the air.

N-Scope Flounder
N-Scopes were originally created for nighttime fighting. With plenty of targeting systems mounted on the end of their barrel they were heralded for having great mid range accuracy regardless of the time of day or weather. Their name was lovingly bestowed upon them because all of the targeting systems on the end of the barrel gave the barrel a flounder like shape. N-Scope Flounders are no longer in production, and most pilots are either oblivious to the extra targeting given by the tank or have not kept the tank in good enough condition so that it still works.

D-20 Origins
D-20 Origin tank was the standard issue tank for the Unified Galaxy Alliance. Designed by Ezra himself when he was working for the UGA, this model is still considered to be one of the easiest tanks to maintain and plenty of tank pilots will still use the model today. Hardly capable of being improved upon the D-20 is light weight, high caliber, and easy to fly. The UGA was a formidable force with these tanks leading the forefront, only after the D-20s were put out of commission were other forces capable of fighting back against them.

UMV Moon Beam
The chassis for the UMV Moon Beam, Underwater Mining Vehicle, was created to hold up against the pressure of deep sea mining, withstand rock slides, and survive in the most brutal conditions. Its long barrel was incredibly effective at getting plasma in hard to reach spots. However, with mining operations shut down the UMV Moon Beam was refined for war. Those fortunate enough to find one of these modified tanks know that it was not built for speed but for precision firing and a tough shell.

456 Antenna Scout
Affectionately known as the Antenna Tank, the 456 was the efficient scout tank for the UGA. It was formerly known for having extremely high quality radio devices and could effectively relay information all over the galaxy. Every tank squadron in the UGA had at least a few of the 456s for communication purposes. Most of the benefits the Antenna Tank had in the past have dwindled, but tank pilots have given it the armor it needs to fight against its formerly better armed brethren.

 |
C-Chu Wolf Hound
The Wolf Hound was a quick tank that could easily cut through infantry, and was widely deployed in clean up missions for the mines before Spark Balls were created for the same task. Wolf Hounds today are much more heavily armored and carry much higher caliber shells, but the resemblance to its predecessor is unmistakable. Pilots tend to call their tanks chewies and enjoy their light feel and hill climbing capabilities.

 |
K-O Auto Track
The auto track was an automated vehicle used for mining when a manned vehicle was far too risky. However, it gained new life as a way for people to protect convoys of dangerous goods with little to no risk to themselves. It is most widely used by smugglers to protect their goods without carelessly putting themselves in danger.

 |
C-Chu Dash Hound
The Dash Hound was a lighter version of the Wolf Hound and but the light weight materials necessary were too expensive to ever allow the tank to see mass production. However, when money isn't an issue well off tank pilots thoroughly enjoy the model. Without the extra armor, similar to the wolf hound, the tank would be worthless against heavier foes.

 |
Sliver Dragon
This tank used to have two modes that it used in very specialized situations. It could put its barrel down and move extremely fast or put the barrel up and be extremely accurate. However, switching between the two takes longer then any pilot would wait for in the midst of battle, and thus you will only see these tanks in their firing mode. It was a experimental design that some pilots still enjoy toying with, especially when they have to cross the vast wastelands created by the devastation of war.

 |
Q-Bolt Thunderlizard
The Thunderlizard was a tank specifically developed to release the Spark Ball into the mines filled with undead. While not considered the most efficiently designed tank it was more then capable of launching its destructive payload directly on target. This was the last piece of military equipment the mad scientist Ezra created for the UGA before hiding into solitude for good.
|
 |
RM Fat Man
The fat man is specifically designed for large caliber weapons. The extra large barrel makes using nukes, MIRVS and other fun explosives extremely easy. However, as expected, the Fat Man is sometimes considered slow, but Fat Man tank pilots beg to differ.
|
 |
Fat Cow MB
When originally developed people said it would be able to hit moons from the planets it's firing from, what they didn't realize was just how unpractical that was. It also never lived up to expectations, but some eccentric tank pilots still mod their tank until they can hit a moon from the planet. Critics of the model laugh that the top half of the tank looks like an elongated utter.
|
 |
Crescent Class Artillery
The crescent class mobile artillery was the standard artillery for the UGA before they were almost all whipped. It came out alongside the Fat Cow MB vying for being the artillery standard for the UGA and won out. Today's Crescent Class Artillery is much more heavily armored, no one can afford to be weaker to the blows of opposing tanks.

 |
Ezra's Vanguard
The Vanguard class tank was meant to out run and out armor its enemies, but no one outside of Ezra himself has seen the tank in its true form. Those who have come across the few destroyed ones have tried to rebuilt it but can never replicate his original design. It is said that the mad scientist Ezra has a roaming band of tank pilots in original Vanguards destroying everything in their path.
|
 |
Overlords Death Bringer
This tank is bestowed upon overlords who have shown true vigor in battle. It is said that only after destroying hundreds of enemies on countless worlds will they one day find themselves piloting this tank. No one knows where it comes from or the technology encased within its massive hull.
|
 |
The WO Reaper Helm
It is said that the Death Tank Reaper himself drives the helm tank. Created by collaboration from the mad scientist Ezra and the brilliance of the prodigy Wolson, the reapers helm is something to truly be feared. It is said that those driving a Reapers Helm are bestowed with a supernatural connection to their tank, one which gives them unparalleled control and power. Only few have ever had the opportunity to use such a tank, and even fewer have lived through the results.

 |
KB Roll Cage
Developed specifically with flying in mind, the tank features a roll cage that allows pilots to hit the ground with ease and never miss a step. Developed by the lead scientist of the UGA, Benjamin Hopper, it has never lived up to the destructive power that was once unleashed by its predecessor the D-20 Origin.
