- Powerful: The siege vehicle has a four-barreled missile launcher that can assist in siege or defence with different types of missiles. Depending on the type of missile, they can wreak great havoc. Last but not least, since they only use missiles, they can fight remotely from a safe distance.
- Defences: It is made of materials that make it extremely resistant to attacks, not to mention the fact that shields also surround the platform, and any other methods also help with defence.
- High-tech: Although not visible on the outside, the vehicle is equipped with the latest and best technologies.
- Stealth: Thanks to the Skuggalegt polymer layer, it is very difficult to detect these vehicles until they start to open fire.
- Repair: Thanks to the Dral Kayatr thus the vehicle is able to repair itself.
- Distant Targets: The vehicles only have missiles/torpedoes in their weapon’s arsenal, which means they can’t really be used in close combat. So, they are only good against distant targets. And they have no other protection, so if the enemy gets close to them, they can’t defend themself with defensive weapons.
- Terrain: Because the vehicle has only tracks and does not have a repulsorlift drive, meaning it can’t float/hover, it can’t travel on difficult places because the terrain won’t let it. It should also be mentioned that the manoeuvrability of the vehicle is not the best either, which makes the movement even more difficult.
- EMP/Ion: Even though the tank has a high level of protection against such attacks, there is always a level of EMP / Ion attack that damages and destroys the vehicle.
- Explosion: Basically, the vehicle is made of well-protected, resistant materials, but nothing is indestructible. Damage to the vehicle's cargo space (where the rockets are stored) or HAPU can result in a fatal explosion.
- Repair: Although the Dral Kayatr and thus the vehicle is able to regenerate, however it can easily get too much damage that this metal can no longer repair anymore. Because the metal can be damaged so that regeneration is no longer effective, not to mention the regeneration is a slow process, in battle this is useless.
The war is never over and there is a lot of money in the military industry. The HPI and their engineers know this, as well as the fact that sieges are very common in modern warfare. Not just in space, but on the surface of the planets. And it also requires technology and a vehicle to attack or defend against the siege.
With this view in mind, they began working on a light tank that could be used as a siege vehicle. Basically, the goal was to make the vehicles usable remotely, from a safe distance. That is why the Stríðsvél-class Siege Vehicle has only been given missiles and torpedoes, which can cause enormous damage to the enemy from a distance.
The tank has excellent technologies, it has been given the most modern suite possible that currently exists. This is true for scanners, targeting and defence systems as well. The vehicle can carry countless different missiles and torpedoes; their composition depends entirely on the operations, they are interchangeable, they can be varied. The vehicle can also operate under droid control, no need for a live crew.
Although the vehicle is heavy and slow compared to similar tanks, but due to the polymer alloy is great for hiding from sensors and scanners, making it an even more perfect siege vehicle during the sieges. And, as always, a high-quality product, as is customary from the HPI Consortium.
