Description The Heavy Armored Anti-Aircraft Assistance Vehicle, also known as H4AV Etherian Armored Vehicle, was the response the Empire of Etheria gave to the Northern Star Federation upon the creation of the FAV-17. The development of this vehicle was comissioned by the Emperor himself in 5017, and it was designed to not only be a dedicated anti-aircraft light vehicle, but it was also made to be anti-personnel, including seven accelerating machine guns in total. The crew consisted of nine Etherians in total, five manning the internal MGs, one serving as gunner of the main gun and the hull mounted MGs, one serving as the loader of the main gun, another one serving as the gunner of the turret, and finally one acting as commander.
This design, although complicated, was mostly made for intimidation against the Federation and a demonstration of the sheer power and resources the Empire had across the galaxy. Once the Federo-Etherian War started, and also in previous engagements, the tank was widely utilised, ensuing chaos in whatever battlefield it entered. Its mounted turret proved itself extremely useful against enemy air support in the battlefield, and its successes transformed it into a symbol of Etherian power. Consequently, it was utilized in several propaganda pieces during the war and previous to it.
It ran on a hyperfuel engine, which was a groundbreaking piece of technology achieved by the Empire of Etheria's top scientists. Their abundant hyperfuel mines made it possible for hyperfuel to be used widely before and after the Federo-Etherian War, being intensely used as fuel for Etherian armored vehicles. Hyperfuel is a rich in energy ore that was generated millions of years ago during the prehistory of Etheria and several other planets. It seems to be intensely abundant in the Etherian regions.
The main gun of the H4AV is charged with accelerator shells, developed specifically for heavy duty attacks, with a high penetrative and explosive factor. It is designed to penetrate the hull of enemy armored vehicles and explode once inside. Eventually, the Federation spies caught hold of this tech and quickly adapted it to the FAV-17.
