The Kaiju is the ultimate Republic land vehicle. Capable of wiping out armies of tanks, or going toe-to-toe with small starships, this gargantuan walker is a force to be reckoned with, and is the pride of the Verran Republic’s armored corps.
Standing 118 meters tall, the Kaiju is a bipedal mechanized walker utilizing a digitigrade leg structure, just like its sestan creators. It is sheathed in a meter of starship-grade synthetic diamond armor plating, and has capital plasma shields as well, making it as durable as a small corvette. It has four quad pulse laser turrets mounted on top of the main chassis for defense against starfighters and missiles.
The Kaiju’s primary weapons are contained in two gun pods on either side of the chassis. Each pod has two heavy fusion cannons and four capital-grade plasma cannons, able to dump a few megatons of thermal energy into a target in a single barrage. These powerful weapons can bring down small corvettes and cutters in a one-on-one duel, and in significant numbers, Kaiju walkers can even threaten frigates and destroyers.
The Kaiju is a rare and expensive vehicle, and is only deployed to the most important of the Republic’s territories. This powerful juggernaught has proven time and again to be the bane of its enemies, and its towering visage is all too often the last thing they ever see.
