Description
Communion Eos Consortium Mobile Church/Super Heavy Tank:
Overview:
The Communion is essentially dubbed the Consortium's super heavy tank. While not as large as some of the other factions (surprising given Eos construction techniques leading to large units) and also not designed as a front line heavy hitter the Communion is essentially a mobile church, and can act as a centre command and control unit for a collection of Interdiction Cadres. The 'tower' on top of the large mobile platform array is full of Eosian faithful who link themselves to the churches mind link systems. While speaking the mantras of the Eostine the mind link allows the collective minds of the faithful to be also used for data processing, giving excellent CIC capabilities to any exemplar and his forces. While equipped with very powerful ADS typical of the Consortium the faithful inside can pray for a multitude of things, erecting shimmering barriers or causing the great blazing eye of Eos which hangs over the vehicle to emit a intensely powerful beam of pure energy, a few of the things this vehicle can achieve with the power of Eos.
Capabilities:
Armament wise the Communion mounts 4 light Eosian planet side point kinetic wave guns. A very, very powerful weapon to mount on a regular vehicle. By using their kinetic weapon tech the gun can channel a powerful beam at medium ranges to both punch through the targets hull and explode into a kinetic wave impact inside the target, ripping it apart from within. Or it will hit the targets hull and explode there, destroying such things as tracks or the main gun itself, or stripping the armour away entirely. This weapon is also very precise, meaning accuracy is excellent and due to its AOE nature means it can engage and destroy infantry with almost laughable ease, with any swarm tactic of infantry being invalidated very quickly.
The Communion also has a close range kinetic wave launcher which uses the tanks hull itself as the projector to engage enemy infantry at very close ranges.
The Communions psionic abilities are also capable of creating a variety of attacks, able to project huge kinetic waves which can crush MBTs alike or swat Cruise missiles out of the sky or summon searing energy rays capable of penetrating super heavy tank armour in a heartbeat.
Defensive measures and armour wise the Communion is rather lacking especially for a super heavy vehicle. With the hull being made out of the same alloy as their starships but only a mere few millimetres thick the Communion cannot withstand any meaningful rounds, however it can withstand infantry firearms at range. Its main defence is its speed and also its close range kinetic wave launcher which functions as ADS. Able to intercept other kinetic weapons fire but not energy weapons, giving it a chance of survival.
However the Communions psionics are also capable of erecting a shimmering golden forcefield which can defend against heavy attacks or create a multitude of other defensive measures which can intercept enemy attacks or redirect them back at the foe.
Electronic abilities wise the Communion carries a system which links the minds of all the crew together via their innate psychic abilities as well as link all 45 of the faithful together who ride in the tower. Essentially while piloting the crew work as one mind with multiple bodies, quickening reaction and action times in battle far above what any human could do, with Eosians being already naturally fast mentally this gives them a superior piloting edge in the battlefield. This system is then linked with the rest of the company and more to help facilitate command and communication. With the added power of 45 additional minds this CIC capability can act as such for a multitude of companies to aid Exemplars in their command capabilities.
Speed wise the Communion is extremely fast able to muster around 90mph at top speed, due to its hover nature it can do this over any terrain and can go up to 50ft into the air as its top speed ceiling. As speed is the Communion main defence it also has powerful dampeners to keep the tank and crew able to operate at top efficiency regardless of speed or orientation.
