M36 Imperium: Vehicles
Ground Vehicles
Dedicated Transports
Dedicated Transports are vehicles that have set aside most of their volume for the ability to transport soldiers into battle. The degree to which these vehicles are armed varies heavily between the different branches of the Imperium's armies. In addition to being heavily armored, Dedicated Transports are additionally protected by Automantic Shielding.
Main Battle Tanks
Main Battle Tanks are heavily armored vehicles designed around a large main cannon. In support of its main armament, these vehicles usually feature pintle and sponson mounted weaponry. Further increasing its defensive capabilities, Main Battle Tanks are protected by Automantic Shielding.
Super Heavy Tanks
Super Heavy Tanks are extremely heavily armored vehicles designed around a Battle Titan-class weapon. In support of its main armament, these vehicles usually feature an array of pintle and sponson mounted weaponry. Further increasing its defensive capabilities, Super Heavy Tanks are protected by Void Shield arrays.
Artillery
Artillery in the Imperium refers to large guns fitted onto an armored chassis that is capable of either direct or indirect fire. Direct fire variants feature Automantic Shielding to further increase their survivability.
Skimmers
Skimmers are vehicles propelled by some type of anti-gravitic propulsion. The degree to which they are armed and armored varies heavily by the role each vehicle is designed to fulfill.
Walkers
Walkers are humanoid shaped vehicles piloted by a single crewman. These vehicles are armed with similar weaponry to the Main Battle Tanks of the Imperium. While not as heavily armored as the tanks of the Imperium, Walkers make up for it by being more mobile and having superior shielding in the form of Construct Shields.
Air Vehicles
Dedicated Transports
Dedicated Transports are flying armored vehicles that are designed to quickly ferry troops from orbit, across theaters, and into combat. Flyers of this type are almost always armed with weapons capable of clearing a landing zone. Additionally, Dedicated Transports are protected by Construct Shielding.
Fighters
Fighters are flying armored vehicles designed to intercept and destroy enemy air assets. Vehicles of this type are primarily armed with sophisticated missile systems and cannons capable of decimating enemy flyers in single shots. Fighters feature Atomantic Shielding as an additional protective measure.
Bombers
Bombers are flying armored vehicles designed to drop payloads on enemy cities and armies from high above. As much of the volume of these flyers are taken up by bombs or supply drops, they only feature light armaments capable of defending themselves in a pinch. As Bombers are designed to maximize the amount of payload they can carry, these flyers lack any form of energy shielding due to the necessary internal space being taken up by ordnance.
Gunships
Gunships are flying armored vehicles designed to devastate enemy ground units and provide close fire support to friendly ground units. These vehicles are extremely heavily armed with numerous weapon systems that varies depending on which branch of the Imperium's armies the flyer was designed for. Due to Gunships propensity for coming under heavy and sustained fire, these flyers are equipped with Construct Shielding.
