Combat Vehicles of the Telkevan Union

The following is an exhaustive list of the vehicles currently utilized by the Armed Forces of the Telkevan Union. For the rest of the arsenal, view Telkevan Military Arsenal. For details on how vehicles are employed on the battlefield, see Telkevan Battle Doctrine.

Weapons

A vehicle's weapons can be divided into three categories depending on their purpose:

• Primary Weapon - The primary weapon system is the vehicle's primary means of attack. Most vehicles have one primary system, though larger vehicles can have two or even three.

• Secondary Weapon - Secondary weapon systems supplement the primary system and allow the vehicle to engage a more diverse range of targets.

• Tertiary Weapon - Tertiary weapon systems protect the vehicle from explosive projectiles. For superheavy vehicles, anti-air and anti-infantry weapons can be considered tertiary systems.

Defenses

Most vehicles are protected by at least one layer of either standard shell energy shielding or directional shielding, with the latter being more common on vehicles which utilize anti-gravity propulsion. Superheavy vehicles feature multiple layers of shielding similarly to starships. Armor is made up of at least two layers, one for mitigating thermal energy and another for dispersing kinetic energy, and is comprised of a mix of alloys and composite materials. Various upgrades can be added to the armor to adapt it to specific scenarios, such as reactive armor, slats, and dynamic plating. Active defensive weapons such as anti-missile lasers are also commonplace.

Tanks

Tanks serve as the Army's preeminent offensive vehicle.

Main Battle Tank (MBT)

Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) serve as the mainstay tank, balancing speed, armor, and firepower for use in any situation, though specific models can be geared towards a particular role.

Name	PK Call sign	Role	Description
T-77 Ultrek	Panther	Main battle tank (No longer in production)	The T-77 entered service as the AFRE's main battle tank shortly before the Telkevan-Nepharian Cold War. Rugged and dependable, the tank saw service throughout the early and middle years of the Great War. Though Ultrek production ceased in the 10th year of the war and the tank is slowly being phased out by the T-35 Tagara, remaining Ultrek continue to serve on the battlefield as support units.
T-35 Tagara	Leopard	Anti-grav main battle tank	The T-35 Tagara AGMBT was designed for the Diab theatre. It replaces traditional tracks with anti-gravity engines to better navigate the blasted and charred landscape of the Diab foothold and swaps out the standard ballistic cannon for a railcannon for improved armor penetration, though the gun can be swapped out for alternatives as needed. The Tagara also boasts improved shielding and armor.
T-45 Izkazar	Bobcat	Infantry support	The Izkazar is designed to travel with and support infantry troops. To complement this, the Izkazar features a front plow for removing obstacles and providing mobile cover to its allies. Older models were armed with two heavy autocannons and a coaxial railgun, but more recent designs replace the autocannons with a ballistic rotary cannon.

Rapid Assault Tank

Rapid assault tanks (RATs) are fast, lightly-armored tanks designed for hit-and-run attacks. Modern RATs predominantly feature anti-gravity engines and are equipped with a diverse array of weapons.

T-33 Kiryusa	Jaguar	Rapid assault anti-grav tank	The T-33 Kiryusa RAAGT is lightly armored compared to most Telkevan tanks but makes up for it with speed and firepower. Kiryusa are dedicated raiders equipped with a variety of weapons systems for engaging multiple targets.

Tank Destroyer

Tank destroyers are designed explicitly for eliminating enemy armor and fortifications. They are typically equipped with a direct-fire artillery gun and engage targets at long range.

Name	PK Call sign	Role	Description
TL-17 Kitrana	Tiger	Tank destroyer	The TL-17 Kitrana Tank Destroyer entered service a few short months before the empire officially entered the war. Possessing heavy armor and a railcannon taken from a grav-artillery piece, the Kitrana can take damage and deal it out in equal measure. It is sometimes utilized as a 'sniper tank', particularly during defensive operations.
TL-5 Izahj	Lion	Anti-Gravity Tank destroyer	The Izahj was conceived as a highly mobile bunker-buster. Designed around its anti-gravity propellers, the Izahj, unlike most modern tanks, foregoes the use of a rotating turret in favor of an armored casemate and relies solely on its propellers for rotation. The casemate can be equipped with a variety of siege guns, with the standard armament consisting of a railcannon.

Line Breaker

Linebreakers are a relatively new tank classification developed in response to heavy Peacekeeper vehicles such as the Diab Monolith. Whereas tank destroyers engage targets from afar, linebreakers operate as heavy battle tanks, featuring superior armor and firepower to standard MBTs.

Transports

Transports deliver their cargo of infantry, battlesuits, and light vehicles directly into the thick of combat.

Armored Personnel Carrier

Armored personnel carriers (APCs) are dedicated transports. Though boasting strong armor, most APCs are lightly-armed to leave space for more troops. As a result, APC have been largely superseded on the battlefield by other transport classes, though they continue to see widespread use in occupation zones, law enforcement, and by special operations forces.

Name	PK Call sign	Role	Description
KS-35 Ivunki	Cobra	Anti-grav stealth transport	The Ivunki is designed for undetected rapid-insertion and is used heavily by special forces squadrons. It is equipped with a modest arsenal comprised of a ballistic cannon, coaxial machine gun, and a machine gun turret.

Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) serve as the preeminent troops transport. Though lacking the capacity of an APC, they boast a stronger and more versatile armament which they use to support infantry attacks.

Name	PK Call sign	Role	Description
K-33 Nezerai	Python	Infantry Fighting Vehicle	The Nezerai IFV comfortably carries up to eight soldiers and provides them with reliable fire support with multiple weapon systems.

Siege Transport

Siege transports are large tracked vehicles capable of carrying dozens of troops and battlesuits. They are designed to charge through defenses like a battering ram so that they can deploy their troops in the midst of the enemy.

D-90 Daelof	Badger	Anti-grav self-propelled anti-air gun	The Daelof's standard arsenal is centered on eliminating gunships and consists of four autocannons and two missile pods, though these can be easily switched out for other weapons as needed, resulting in numerous variants. Daelof on the Diab front often feature energy weapons, particularly plasma repeaters, for better performance against Diab gunships.
D-67 Zerxa	Wolverine	Anti-strikecraft	The Zerxa is a predominantly defensive vehicle equipped with either two surface-to-air missile launchers or particle-beam cannons depending on the situation. Though officially tasked with eliminating fighters and bombers, Zerxa can and frequently do engage gunships and transports.
D-92 Olivant	Weasel	Anti-grav anti-air	The Olivant is a highly mobile and versatile anti-air platform equipped a rotary cannon, railgun, and missile pods.
DO-89 Faea	Sable	Anti-orbital gun	The Faea is equipped with a high-powered particle beam cannon for engaging starships in low-orbit, though it is equally adept at punching through fortifications. Recent models have exchanged the particle cannon for a pyre variant.

Self-Propelled Artillery

Self-Propelled Artillery provides long-range fire support. SPA is distinct from grav-artillery in that grav-artillery travels with the infantry whereas SPA guns operate in batteries situated in the rear-lines.

Name	PK Call sign	Role	Description
VS-15 Taerzagar	Koala	Suppressor artillery	The Taerzagar has an unmatched rate of fire among mobile artillery platforms. Though neither the most accurate nor powerful gun, Taerzagar batteries can saturate an area in artillery fire, suppressing enemy forces and making quick work of those not protected by durable armoring or shields.
V-11 Hurth	Kangaroo	Precision artillery	The Hurth is the army's standard self-propelled artillery. It is equipped with a railcannon and is often used in conjunction with Taerzagar, with the latter forcing targets to scatter and seek shelter which the Hurth can then target.
V-52 Korzair	Wombat	Mobile support	The Korzair has the shortest range of any self-propelled artillery gun, but its plasma mortar gun more than makes up for it in firepower. Korzair seldom operate in batteries, instead staying near the rear of a formation to provide mobile fire support.
VR-70 Xzar	Wallaby	Missile artillery	The Xzar is equipped with two multiple-launch rocket systems which can be loaded with a wide variety of munitions which can be guided or unguided. While each missile can be launched individually, it is not uncommon for the Xzar to unload missiles in a shotgun-like fashion to saturate a wide area. Xzar can also be used to eliminate aircraft.

Engineering Vehicles

Engineering vehicles are used almost exclusively by combat engineers and perform a variety of tasks such as construction and vehicle recovery. While some are purpose-built, most engineering vehicles are repurposed tanks and transports. Engineering vehicles are lightly-armed as they are not expected to engage an enemy.

NU-67 Helgate	Desman	Breacher Transport	The Helgate can carry up to fifteen soldiers and is armed with two heavy machine guns and a flamethrower to provide covering fire as its cargo disembarks. Attempts to replace the flamethrower with a more powerful plasmathrower have proven unsuccessful due to the weapon's tendency to damage the Helgate's drilling equipment.
NA-31 Golgolag Sapper	Shrew	Sapper	The Golgolag is equipped only with a bomb delivery system which it uses to plant explosives directly beneath fortified positions. Anything that survives the detonation is generally buried beneath several tons of dirt and debris. The addition of Marganite bombs have allowed Golgolags to deny large swaths of ground to enemy forces.

Amphibious Vehicles

Amphibious vehicles are vehicles equipped with anti-gravity propulsion capable of operating and fighting underwater. Though remarkably versatile, their complexity and costs compared to their strictly-terrestrial counterparts limits their numbers.
