[G.L.I] KS-155C 'BAYANAV' COMMAND TANK [vanilla]

---

During the galactic war, backbone of the Renation tank fleet was made up of mostly KD series tanks that were easy and cheap to produce. While this made it so that the renation army could deploy garrisons of tanks on even on the more remote worlds, it also meant that the overall combat effectiveness on prolonged and massive siedges were significantly reduced. This was made even worse by the fact that the majority of the galactic war was fought on huge capital megacities and production facilities that would quickly turn the playing field to hell for any armored vehicle. For this reason the renation army ordered the production of a new series of tanks that would excell at taking constant fire and shooting out even more. And thus the KS (Siedge) series of tanks were drawn up by the GLI engineers and were quickly approved by Renation officers for production.

The KS Series of tanks were specifically built for long lasting siedges of capital cities and daring advancements into deep enemy territory. However there were also a need for a mobile and heavily armored command center for independent and daring operations into the enemy lines and for this purpose the KS-155C was designed. This tank was equiped with the top of the line communication equipment including many powerfull hyperwave emmiters and recievers. This allowed the tank to act as a long range communications hub and made sure the taskforce was nevet cut out from command. Inside the turret there was room for a dedicated radio operator alongside the commander and gunner. In order to fit most of the modern composite armor and communications equipment the tank had to be upsized quite a bit. On top of all the composite armor, next gen APS and passive protection systems were mounted all around the tank. The armament of the KS-155C was significantly smaller than its counterpart as it is not meant to see any direct action, housing only 2 hull mounted 35mm autocannon turrets and a single 35mm coaxial gun on the main turret. As an anti infantry and aircraft option an HMG was fitted on the gunners position. State of the art electronics were also installed on the tank that allowed it maintain up to date information on all its surroundings and get real time armor diagnostics for the commander to observe. The C variant of the KS-155 also came equipped with a variety of long and short range sensors for enemy and terrain detection. To get the massive 350 ton steel beast, a nuclear powered reactor was used as the main powerpack of the vehicle and allowed it to reach speeds of over 80 km/h. The added power from the reactor made it possible for the KS series of tanks to be fitted with 8 seperately powered track segments that would allow the vehicle to be mobile even if several of the tracks are inoperable. This made sure the vehicle wouldnt succumb to mobility kills while deep in enemy territory.

This particular KS-155C was named Bayanav, meaning the bringer of fortune and wealth in ancient human believes.
Many KS-155C variants were deployed all across the galactic battlefield as heavily armored command centers. The easy to set up and mobile nature of the vehicle made it a common sight along the renation forces. This particular KS-155C was used in organising and conducting of the operation Belmour where the vehicle had not only commanded the entire taskforce but was also forced to fight off an ambush while commanding the large scale operation.
