The Strider is the primary armored combat vehicle of the Verran Republic, comparable to most other nations’ main battle tanks.
The Strider stands on a pair of digitigrade legs, capable of reaching a top speed of 40 miles per hour. Its central chassis has a pair of side-mounted weapons pods, containing the vehicle’s two heavy plasma cannons, used for destroying tanks and other armored targets.
For antipersonnel defense, the Strider carries two heavy plasma repeater turrets mounted on its “shoulders” above the primary cannons. It is heavily armored and shielded, able to take multiple hits from peer vehicles before being destroyed.
Providing most heavy firepower for ground forces, the Strider is an integral part of the Republic armored corps.
