STRENGTHS

• Behemoth: Armed with immensely powerful weaponry and heavily defended, the Type 95 is an immensely dangerous vehicle.
• Base: Designed to operate as a mobile base, the vehicle features a modular interior as well as a variety of facilities to fulfill a variety of roles.
• Cargo: The Type 95 can hold an enormous amount of cargo and troops alongside a small number of vehicles.
• Speed: For a vehicle of its size, the Type 95 can achieve a surprisingly high top speed.
• Ramps: With two massive ramps in the fore and aft sections, the vehicle can offload its massive cargo bay incredibly quickly.

WEAKNESSES

• Coating: The triprismatic polymer coating is only meant to keep its signature low, not to camouflage the vehicle entirely.
• Massive: Despite its powerful defenses, the vehicle is incredibly large and easy to spot.
• Awareness: Despite all the systems, scanners and cameras, the crew has little situational awareness of their immediate vicinity.
• Sluggish: Due to its immense size, the Type 95 is very slow to maneuver and turn.
• Vulnerable: If caught without escorting elements, the vehicle can be overwhelmed.

DESCRIPTION
A very niche vehicle and incredibly cumbersome. The Type 95, nicknamed the “Zillo Beast” by its crews and passengers, is based on an enormous mining vehicle and designed to operate as a mobile command base and breakthrough vehicle for Hellion troops when mobility and supporting firepower is essential.

Requiring multiple gunships or a small capital ship to deploy it, and coupled with understandably terrible handling, the Type 95 is a laborious vehicle to move and operate. But once it’s operational, the Zillo Beast can deliver immense firepower with its naval-tier armament and supporting weaponry. It’s also deceptively fast for its size and can carry a number of tanks, troop carriers or other heavy machinery alongside a company of soldiers.

By its very nature, the vehicle is expensive to produce and maintain, and very situational to deploy. But nobody can dispute its operational capability and versatility for troops in the field.
