Archanite Eosian Siege Unit

Archanite Eos Consortium Siege Unit:

Overview:

The Archanite is another one of the Consortiums rare but immensely powerful units designed for niche situations. Made for breaking enemy installations or destroying heavily armoured foes the Archanite is not a mobile shrine like the Communion is, and is not powered by the Eosians psionic energies. Instead it contains a miniature star, designed to use localised blink units to open up small FTL portals to funnel the stars energy through the Archanite can create a terrifying bombardment of radiation, intense heat and burning plasma over enemy forces enough to crack shields, slaughter entire companies and slag super heavies. Often deployed far behind the frontline the Archanite has little in the way of defense other than its light shields and kinetic defense weaponry.

Capabilities:

Armament wise the Archanites primary weapon is a contained star. Held within powerful containment shields this star acts as its power source and weapon system, utilising multiple blink units (Like those found on Kinetic wave artillery) the Archanite can siphon off small solar flares, ionizing waves of radiation and even sections of said star in the way of plasma beams made of the small suns mass. These attacks can wipe out most enemy forces and unlike most Eosian weaponry is actually very long range thanks to the blink units. If the containment is breached however and the Archanite destroyed the star will likely be set free and caused a catastrophic situation for all forces around for thousands of km.

 The Archanite also has a close range kinetic wave launcher which uses the vehicles hull itself as the projector to engage enemy infantry at very close ranges.

Defensive measures and armour wise the Archanite is rather lacking especially for a super heavy vehicle. With the hull being made out of the same alloy as their starships but only a mere few millimetres thick the Archanite cannot withstand any meaningful rounds, however it can withstand infantry firearms at range. Its main defence is its speed and also its close range kinetic wave launcher which functions as ADS. Able to intercept other kinetic weapons fire but not energy weapons, giving it a chance of survival.

Electronic abilities wise the Archanite carries a system which links the minds of all the crew together via their innate psychic abilities. Essentially while piloting the crew work as one mind with multiple bodies, quickening reaction and action times in battle far above what any human could do, with Eosians being already naturally fast mentally this gives them a superior piloting edge in the battlefield. This system is then linked with the rest of the company and more to help facilitate command and communication. 

Speed wise the Archanite is extremely fast able to muster around 60mph at top speed, due to its hover nature it can do this over any terrain and can go up to 50ft into the air as its top speed ceiling. As speed is the Archanite main defence it also has powerful dampeners to keep the vehicle and crew able to operate at top efficiency regardless of speed or orientation.
