- Model: Skraal Lightning Wheel
- Modularity: No
- Production: Minor
- Material:
- Classification: Tank
- Role: Infantry Fighting Vehicle
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Armaments: Average: Lightning Gun
- Defenses: Very Low
- Maneuverability Rating: Average
- Speed Rating: High
- Propulsion: Wheels
- Minimum Crew: One
- Optimal Crew: One
- Passenger Capacity: None
- Cargo Capacity: None
- Momentum Recharge: The faster the skraal lightning wheel is going, the less amount of time it takes for the lightning gun mounted to recharge.
- Simple Construction: Since they are rather simple in design and concept, they can be rebuilt and salvaged for next time.
- One Operator: Unlike other tank models around the galaxy, the Lightning Wheel only requires one operator to run the entire machine.
- Lightning Gun: The Lightning Wheel uses Lightning Gun Technology to unleash blasts of energy against an opponent. [Side Note: While the Lightning Wheel is capable of deadly energy blasts, PCs can decide if they are hit by them and can decide what damage is caused by the blast]
- Maximum Speed: The Lightning Wheel was designed for speed and scouting missions, as such it is extremely fast when compared to other tanks
- Tendency to Explode: Due to the Skraal's Limited Understanding of Lightning Gun Technology, the tank can explode at any time due to the unstable powering core
- Low Armor: The Lightning Wheel was designed more as a harassment vehicle than an actual tank, so the wheels armor is almost non-existent but it does have some armor to protect it from one hit attacks. Allowing a simple laser bolt to destroy the entire tank at the right angle
- Exposed Operator: The Lightning Wheel has no armor to protect the operator from either side of it, allowing anyone to snipe the operator out of the vehicle and make it spiral out of control through friend and foe alike.
- Average Maneuverability: The Lightning Wheel is heavy in weight, so turning it is a challenge especially at high speeds. So tight areas or corners are a death sentence to the operator.
The Skraal Lightning Wheel was designed by the Mancheron Association of Manufacturing and Commerce with Borrodus Mancheron Boggurobb II of the Mancheron Kajidic. Partnering with the Seven Clandoms of Skraalzzar to produce the first variant and selling it back on the underground market through various smuggler's vessels. The simple construction allowed for many to be assembled and put together for the Skraal Clans. Although these were just the wheeled variant, as the lightning gun technology was added onto the Wheels by Clan Queshnar and its Chief Engineer Ikit Doomspire.
Ikit Doomspire would begin the reverse engineering process for the lightning gun technology a few years in advance before the commission was officially established. Approaching the Mancheron Kajidic after the death of Paranoda Mancheron Boggurobb during the assassination on Darvannis. His cousin, Borrodus Mancheron Boggurobb II named after the father of Paranoda Mancheron Boggurobb whom was the first. Striking a deal with the skraal receiving contracts for the gemstones that were mined on Skraalzzar in return for the Wheels. The Wheels made their way to Skraalzzar into the Vast Workshops of Clan Queshnar. This coupled with advances in reverse engineering of the lightning gun, they were mounted on the wheels of the mancheron kajidic. Becoming the Skraal Lightning Wheels and becoming the Infantry Fighting Vehicle for the Skraalzzar Auxiliary Force underneath the control of Grand Supreme Warlord Queek Skullsmasher. Although they were only the first of the new skraal technology, and more would soon be commissioned and pushed into use.
