GENERAL INFORMATION

• Unit Name: Tyr'kaditus the Siege Fortress
• Affiliation: The Bryn'adûl
• Classification: Siege Fortress
  • Description: This M'gaelak, known as Tyr'kaditus is the mother of all M'gaelak, greater than a Siege Tower. Her carapace is shades of black, its softer flesh a dull red. It stands at two thousand metres in height, dwarfing its lesser brethren. The ground quakes, breaking under its powerful armoured legs. The interior of the M'gaelaks have been mutated and made stronger, part machine controlled by Draelvasier Technology as to work in symbiosis with the constructs of the Bryn'adûl.

COMBAT INFORMATION:

• Unit Size: Small
• Unit Availability: Unique
• Unit Experience: Elite
• Equipment: Draelvasier Technology, Verikast constructed interior command centre and deployment areas.

- Gunboat Deployment Bays: Tyr houses six adjacent deployment bays that each house two squadron of Brute Gunboats and four Ra'mak Sqaudrons.

- Defence Placements: Tyr houses a total of four-hundred Ballistas and six hundred Spiker Turrets firing 457.2mm.

- Shields: The Fortress also contains a powerful Quilxyn built into its interior - capable of producing shields that can withstand orbital bombardment.

- Tendrils: Tyr has underside tendrils similarly to the Siege Towers, however their tendrils are far stronger. It can tear apart city walls, moving at greater speed with rock-like carapace surrounding the ends. On top, it has dozens of armoured tendrils capable of emitting powerful beams of continuous energy.

- Command Centre: The Command Centre is within the centre of the Siege Tower, housing communication systems and deployment stratagems and live-feeds of on going battles.

- Infantry Compartments: Can house up to eight-thousand infantry within alongside a security compliment of six hundred Warriors alongside the Artificers piloting it.

- Battle Horns: The mouths of the M'gaelak have been retrofitted as massive musical battle horns instruments that play during battle. The horns are so loud and so powerful they can kick up dirt and sand and can be heard for several kilometres.

• Combat Function: The combat function of the Siege Fortress is to act as a defensive and offensive Siege machine like the Siege Tower tenfold.

Strengths:

• Morale: Using their Battle Horns, the M'gaelak are a powerful force of morale for ground troops.
• Catapult and Tear: Tyr is a malicious and hostile M'gaelak, used to defending its place at the top of the food chain. Tyr can use all of its tendrils offensively, making catapults of each arm - able to throw entire crushed up buildings as projectiles.
• Zoidberg Effect: Tyr has an incredibly tough hide, making anything bar a concentrated orbital bombardment a waste of everyone's time. However, a exception to this is powerful defensive equipment or interior destruction.
• Protected: The M'gaelaks Siege Tower is well defended by a large force of Warriors and Quilxyn shielding. Additionally, it can hold many thousands of forces ready for deployment.
• Cocoon: The M'gaelak is capable of orbital deployment, using its massive crowns horns to envelop its body, the M'gaelak can drop from orbit and land safely.
• Access Points: This is both a strength and a weakness, the Siege Tower has hundreds of secret and not-so secret entrances and exits of carapace-doors that allow for vertical travel or deployment of troops into cities, but also allows insurgents many ways to try and infiltrate the Siege Tower.

Weaknesses:

• Slow: These creatures are carrying several hundred megatons worth of flesh, muscle and shell on their bodies. These creatures are incredibly slow, able to be out-ran by even the smallest of land-vehicles.
• Thunder-thighs: You can hear them coming for miles, their every step shakes the ground for a miles. There's no sneaking with these things.
• Massive Target: You'd have to be a half-dead blind Stormtrooper with no fingers to miss this thing.
• Senses: The M'gaelak only sees with its tentacle-like mandibles, the hollowed black shapes on the front of its crown are an evolutionary trick. It's senses are solely smell and audio.
• Legs: Take out a few legs and the M'gaelak will become slower, and eventually fall.
• Access Points: This is both a strength and a weakness, the Siege Tower has hundreds of secret and not-so secret entrances and exits of carapace-doors that allow for vertical travel or deployment of troops into cities, but also allows insurgents many ways to try and infiltrate the Siege Tower.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION:
Tyr'kaditus is a mutated M'gaelak, outgrowing her brethren by nearly four times in size. Tyr is a powerful invasion device, part of a new range of massive monsters to be used as part of the Chieftain's war on the Galaxy.
