- Overwhelming: The Nautilus Class Assault Vehicle is an immensely powerful vehicle deployed at the beginning of a Jen'ari Empire planetary invasion. Massive amounts of firepower and protection to establish a secure foothold for Imperial forces.
- Exposed: While it is heavily armored and shielded, the Nautilus has minimal if any maneuverability when it comes to combat. Should its shielding and armor fail, it is an easy target.
- Power Hungry: The Nautilus is extremely reliant on its own power generators, which are overextended even at minimal use. The Nautilus can only be used in short bursts before it must be taken offline to recharge and refuel, leaving it exposed.
With advanced shielding, heavy armor, command and control centers and long range missile technology, the Nautilus Class Assault Vehicle is the epitome of overwhelming warfare that the Jen'ari Empire is making a name for. Designed to be deployed alone on a planets surface, the Nautilus will destroy everything in its path, before taking itself offline and turning over combat operations to more conventional forces. The sheer amount of resources required to produce and maintain the Nautilus units means that the Jen'ari Empire can only maintain a few of the war machines at any given time.
