Wargames:Ships:UEF:Tarantula

UEF Designation Code: TAR

The Tarantula is an oddity among the TIC units. It is HAFD capable, can tote vehicles and carry a hundred troops, however it cannot bore through hulls. It does, however, make up for that deficiency and more.

Details
The Tarantula at first glance appears to be a superheavy Huntsman, however that description does not tell the full tale. The Tarantula is capable of using its legs for walking around on the ground rather, making for a hexapedal mech unit. It sports light lasers which can be used on the fly, however when engaging in ground operations, a turret raises from the back of the craft, sporting a plasma focus beam. Diverting energy from the engines to power this massive weapon means it can only use it on the ground, however once there this twenty-metre behemoth can burn death into the soil as a giant heavy tank as well as serving as a troop and vehicle transport beforehand.
