SPECIAL FEATURES

• Able to plant itself into the ground to turn into an Artillery Cannon.

Strengths:

• The Thick Armor plating and Thermal Shielding allows for a high amount of defense for the vehicle.
• The Communications/Command Room on the Walker has a Hologram Projection Pod installed, allowing for communication between those in charge of the operation and the commander of the Walker.
• The ability to plant the walker's legs into the ground allows for more stability when firing the Rail Cannon, and allows for troops to be deployed from the rear of the vehicle.

Weaknesses:

• When the back hatch is open to release troops, someone could easily throw a grenade or explosive round into the vehicle and destroy it, due to the cock pit having a direct line of sight to the rear hatch of the vehicle.
• Although the Anti-Personnel defense is strong, there is little to no Anti- Air defense, meaning it can be harassed by Bombers and Fighters if not properly protected.

Description: The usage of the DDY-95-A was both a Troop Transport and an Artillery Piece, though the Transport function was a secondary purpose. The usage of the DDY-500 Rail Cannon makes this walker a very deadly vehicle to go up against, due to the cannon being able to rip through Capital ships pretty well. The use of a Hologram Projection pad allows for the Commander of the vehicle to communicate with the personnel who are in charge of their operation, allowing for proper positioning and tactics to be utilized with this Walker. The Anti-personnel cannons make this a difficult bunker to get into if it plants itself onto the ground, with the only way in being a rear hatch that is used to release passengers out to the battle field. Unfortunately, with the sheer size of the Rail Cannon, the only defense against Bombers the Walker has is its Thermal Shields and the 4 and a half inch thick Impervium Alloy Plating.
