A Life day gift from the IW team!
Presenting the
Rebel Heavy Tracker.
This unit is accessed via the
Rebel Heavy Weapons Lab, and is one of the Alliance's most powerful ground forces. Originally serving as a mining vehicle on a number of worlds, this unit was adopted by various criminal organisations and the Rebel Alliance for it's sturdy build, but more importantly, for the large rock-boring laser that it is built around.
This powerful laser, which takes a while to charge up to fire, fires in a constant beam, and can slice through even the toughest armour very quickly. The laser is also equipped with excellent range, allowing it to assault defensive positions from a distance. However, it is not a machine that was originally built for war, and so can be quite difficult to use at times. It's handling is quite sluggish, and can easily be overwhelmed by quicker units if not supported. Also, while it's range is significant, it fires along a direct path, unlike longer ranged artillery vehicles, and so can have difficulty hitting it's targets in some terrain.
A Rebel player will need to be very careful about how they put this to use; used well it can overcome the Imperials' heavy late-game forces with ease, but used poorly it can be easily overcome.
