PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Repulsor Platforms: In order to expedite cargo transportation as well as troop deployment, the underside of the Terentatek walker features seven repulsorlift platforms which magnetically seal into the hull when not in use, one large one in the center and three smaller ones on either side of the undercarriage. These smaller platforms are ideal for rapid troop deployment and can even be retracted into the hull in order to allow soldiers within to fire out of the walker, either as a counter to enemy infantry or to assist in any blind spots in the firing arcs of the guns.
STRENGTHS
  • Raw Firepower: If nothing else then the Terentatek boast sheer firepower and gun variety, not only allowing it to dish out significant damage but also do so in almost every direction at once. Some of these turrets aren't directly manned by the crew but even still their deadly payloads and firing arcs ensure that attacking the walker from any angle is a dangerous and almost certainly fatal endeavor.
  • Modular Carrier: As a result of the large cargo space inside the walker it can be tasked with carrying not only substantial amounts of cargo and materials but also other vehicles even. Its carrying capacity for soldiers speaks for itself as well but of course this amount can fluctuate based on whatever else that walker might be carrying, with speeder bikes and even small repulsorcraft being common accompaniments for its troopers.
WEAKNESSES
  • Heft-Footed: Due to the heavy weight of the walkers, the Terentateks cannot operate in areas with softer or unreliable ground as they would likely sink or topple easily. While theoretically armor and other such non-vital systems could be stripped away to lighten them in such conditions the end result would be far too fragile to be worth deploying and as such they are better limited to battlefields with stable ground.
  • Six-Legged: The legs of the Terentatek are obviously its main method of propulsion and keeping itself upright but due to its mass it requires six legs to move at any decent speed. At a bare minimum it can stand on four and carefully move on five but regardless any disabling of even a single leg of the walker does drastically hinder its ability to operate effectively. These have been armored as a precaution but the risk is always present and inherent.
DESCRIPTION
Much like the deadly beast that it was named for, the Terentatek is a hulking war machine as powerful as it is unsubtle. In a departure from the traditional design philosophies of the Order of Wonosa, this walker exchanges maneuverability and production ease for sheer firepower and presence on the battlefield. The Terentateks are not simple war machines but the markers of a true army at war, able to destroy most if not all fortifications that stand against them while at the same time being able to deploy enough soldiers and vehicles to bring entire assault forces straight into battle with just a few of these walkers.
