Hell Host Vehicles
Hell Host ground, atmospheric, and aquatic forces operate an enormous range of military vehicles designed for warfare across the varied environments of the Omicron Galaxy.
Rather than relying on a single technological philosophy, Hell Host vehicle doctrine combines conventional armored vehicles, hover platforms, autonomous systems, advanced aircraft, amphibious vehicles, naval vessels, and specialized machines designed for unusual planetary environments.
Many vehicle families have remained in service for decades through extensive modernization. Others originated with predecessor organizations or allied forces and were later adopted into Hell Host service.
This page lists some of the most notable vehicle designs currently known to be operated by the Hell Hosts.
Armored Combat Vehicles
XG-6 Redemption Main Battle Tank
Classification: Main Battle Tank
Former Designation: XG-6 Cobra
Primary Role: Armored Warfare / Breakthrough Operations
The XG-6 Redemption is one of the principal heavy tanks operated by Hell Host ground forces.
Designed for direct confrontation with enemy armor and fortified positions, the Redemption combines heavy protection with powerful direct-fire weaponry and advanced battlefield targeting systems.
Although newer armored platforms have entered service, the Redemption remains widely respected for its durability and ability to survive prolonged frontline combat.
The original development name, Cobra, can still occasionally be heard among veteran crews.
M504 Tempest Hover Tank
Classification: Hover Tank
Primary Role: Rapid Armored Warfare
The M504 Tempest is a fast armored combat vehicle built around a powerful Gauss cannon and secondary heavy machine gun.
Unlike conventional tracked armor, the Tempest uses a low-altitude hover system allowing it to cross terrain that would significantly slow traditional armored formations.
Its combination of speed and firepower makes it particularly effective during rapid offensives, flanking attacks, and operations across unstable terrain.
Its lighter protection compared with dedicated main battle tanks makes prolonged static engagements undesirable.
8936 Behemoth Heavy Assault Vehicle
Classification: Heavy Assault Vehicle
Primary Role: Breakthrough / Heavy Fire Support
The 8936 Behemoth is a heavily armored assault platform designed to advance directly into fortified enemy positions.
Its primary armament consists of a high-output heavy energy weapon supported by secondary defensive systems.
Behemoths are slower and considerably less maneuverable than conventional armored vehicles, but their armor allows them to survive punishment that would disable lighter platforms.
They are most commonly deployed where subtlety has already ceased to be useful.
47Y Breaker Assault Vehicle
Classification: High-Speed Assault Vehicle
Primary Role: Breaching / Ramming / Shock Assault
The 47Y Breaker is one of the stranger armored vehicles operated by the Hell Hosts.
Designed around an extremely reinforced frontal structure, the Breaker is capable of reaching approximately 150 mph (241 km/h) under suitable conditions.
Its primary purpose is exactly what its appearance suggests.
The vehicle is used to smash through barricades, light fortifications, disabled vehicles, defensive gates, and other obstacles at high speed.
Its crew compartment incorporates extensive impact protection, shock isolation, reinforced restraints, and automated collision systems intended to make such maneuvers survivable.
Hell Host personnel commonly refer to the vehicle simply as the Rammer.
D68E Tormentor Armored Engineering Vehicle Mk V
Classification: Armored Engineering Vehicle
Primary Role: Combat Engineering / Breaching
The Tormentor is a heavily protected engineering vehicle designed to operate alongside frontline formations.
Its reinforced structure allows it to clear debris, demolish barricades, create routes through damaged urban environments, construct defensive positions, and breach obstacles while under enemy fire.
Various Tormentor configurations can carry engineering equipment, breaching systems, defensive weapons, and battlefield recovery equipment.
Despite technically being an engineering vehicle, the Tormentor has repeatedly found itself used as an improvised assault platform.
Reconnaissance and Transport Vehicles
T-46 Prowler Reconnaissance Vehicle
Classification: Light Reconnaissance Vehicle
Primary Role: Reconnaissance / Patrol
The T-46 Prowler is a compact four-person reconnaissance vehicle used for scouting, patrol, forward observation, and rapid battlefield movement.
Its standard crew consists of a driver, passenger or mission specialist, weapons operator, and additional crew member depending on mission requirements.
The Prowler prioritizes mobility over armor and is not intended to directly engage heavy enemy vehicles.
Its small size and high mobility allow it to operate ahead of larger Hell Host formations.
V267A Monarch Armored Utility Vehicle
Classification: Armored Utility Vehicle
Primary Role: Troop Transport / Fire Support
The Monarch predates the formation of the Hell Hosts.
Originally mass-produced by the Terrorism Control Agency during an earlier conflict, large numbers of surviving Monarch vehicles were transferred into Hell Host service following the war.
The vehicle primarily serves as an armored troop transport but carries a heavy roof-mounted weapon capable of providing substantial fire support.
Its reliability, large production numbers, and ease of maintenance have allowed the Monarch to remain in service long after newer vehicles became available.
It remains one of the clearest surviving examples of military technology inherited from the organizations that existed before the Hell Hosts.
M673 Atlas Armored Personnel Carrier
Classification: Armored Personnel Carrier
Former Designation: 673 ALF-TT
Primary Role: Ground Troop Transport
The M673 Atlas is a common armored transport used to move infantry across active battlefields.
Unlike heavily armed infantry fighting vehicles, the Atlas is primarily designed to transport personnel safely and efficiently.
Its standard defensive armament consists of a light remotely operated weapon system intended primarily for suppressive fire and self-defense.
Numerous variants of the Atlas exist for medical evacuation, command, communications, cargo transport, and other battlefield roles.
M111 Strider Rapid Transport
Classification: Rapid Troop Transport
Former Designation: 111 HS-TT
Primary Role: High-Speed Deployment / Extreme-Terrain Transport
The M111 Strider is an older but highly unusual troop transport designed to move small infantry units through terrain inaccessible to conventional vehicles.
Its articulated mechanical legs allow it to traverse rough terrain, steep slopes, debris fields, and near-vertical surfaces.
When operating across rivers or other bodies of water, the legs can fold against the hull while the main vehicle body remains buoyant.
The Strider sacrifices armor, weaponry, and internal space in exchange for exceptional terrain accessibility and rapid deployment.
Despite its age, the vehicle remains useful in environments where wheeled, tracked, and hover vehicles cannot operate reliably.
Air Defence
AA44 Longbow Air-Defence System
Classification: Surface-to-Air Missile Vehicle
Primary Role: Anti-Aircraft / Anti-Drone Defence
The AA44 Longbow is one of the most common mobile air-defence platforms operated by Hell Host ground forces.
Multiple missile cells allow the vehicle to engage aircraft, drones, dropships, and other airborne targets while remaining mobile alongside ground formations.
Longbows are frequently deployed around military installations, artillery positions, armored formations, and temporary forward bases.
TY67 Skyguard Air-Defence Vehicle
Classification: Mobile Anti-Aircraft Gun
Primary Role: Close Air Defence
The TY67 Skyguard complements missile-based systems such as the AA44 Longbow by providing extremely rapid direct-fire air defence.
Its multi-barrel weapon system is designed to engage low-flying aircraft, drones, missiles, and other fast-moving threats.
Automated tracking systems allow the weapon to lock onto targets, although manual and free-fire operation remains available.
The Skyguard is particularly effective against targets too close or too numerous for conventional missile interception.
Artillery
M772 Autonomous Artillery Platform
Classification: Self-Propelled Artillery
Primary Role: Autonomous Fire Support
The M772 is a robotic artillery platform capable of operating with minimal direct human involvement.
Human personnel or battlefield command systems typically designate deployment zones and mission parameters before the platform’s onboard intelligence assumes responsibility for positioning, targeting calculations, and firing operations.
Its autonomous nature allows M772 units to operate in environments considered too dangerous for conventional artillery crews.
Multiple M772 platforms can coordinate their fire through shared battlefield networks.
R96 Rotary Artillery Cannon
Classification: Heavy Artillery System
Primary Role: Sustained Bombardment
Operator: Fire Division
The R96 Rotary Artillery Cannon, commonly abbreviated RAC, is a heavy artillery system operated exclusively by the Hell Host Fire Division.
Its multi-barrel design allows sustained bombardment while distributing thermal and mechanical stress across multiple firing assemblies.
RAC batteries are used for suppression, defensive bombardment, counter-battery fire, and sustained attacks against enemy positions.
Although extremely destructive, the RAC emphasizes volume and sustained fire rather than the individual destructive power of heavier artillery systems.
TAC-445 Tributary Artillery Cannon
Classification: Heavy Siege Artillery
Primary Role: Siege Warfare / Strategic Bombardment
Operator: Fire Division
The TAC-445 Tributary Artillery Cannon is one of the heaviest conventional artillery systems operated by the Fire Division.
The system was designed with limited amphibious mobility, allowing it to use rivers and other suitable waterways to reposition before establishing a firing position.
Once deployed, the Tributary can deliver extremely powerful long-range bombardment against fortifications, armored concentrations, and hardened enemy positions.
The TAC-445 supports multiple ammunition types depending on mission requirements, including conventional siege ammunition and specialized area-denial payloads.
Chemical payloads, where legally and operationally authorized, are treated as restricted specialist munitions rather than standard ammunition.
Compared with the R96 RAC, the Tributary fires more slowly but delivers considerably greater destructive force with each shot.
Both the RAC and TAC are restricted to the Fire Division.
Atmospheric Aircraft
P7 Shrike Interceptor
Classification: Fighter / Interceptor
Former Designation: P7 X-Fighter
Primary Role: Air Superiority / Interception
The P7 Shrike is a high-speed fighter designed primarily to engage hostile aircraft.
Its standard armament combines directed-energy weapons with air-to-air missiles, allowing it to rapidly intercept enemy fighters, bombers, drones, and atmospheric transports.
Speed and maneuverability are prioritized over heavy armor.
T1-0 Stryker Multirole Fighter
Classification: Multirole Combat Aircraft
Primary Role: Air-to-Air / Air-to-Ground Warfare
The T1-0 Stryker is a multirole fighter designed to perform a wider range of missions than dedicated interceptors such as the P7 Shrike.
Depending on its loadout, the Stryker can perform air superiority, ground attack, escort, reconnaissance, and interception missions.
Its adaptability has made it a common sight within Hell Host Aviation formations.
Older documentation incorrectly classified the aircraft as an “Infantry Fighting Vehicle.”
H13E Vulture Strike Fighter
Classification: Strike Fighter
Primary Role: Anti-Infantry / Anti-Vehicle Operations
The H13E, commonly known as the Vulture, is a strike aircraft designed to attack hostile ground formations.
Its weapon systems are optimized for engaging infantry concentrations, armored vehicles, defensive positions, and battlefield infrastructure.
Unlike the O13 Reaper, which is designed to remain near friendly ground forces and provide sustained close support, the Vulture specializes in high-speed attack runs against designated targets.
O13 Reaper Close-Support Aircraft
Classification: Close Air Support Aircraft
Primary Role: Infantry Support / Ground Attack
The O13 Reaper is a heavily armed close-support aircraft designed to operate directly above active battlefields.
Its defining weapon is a massive forward-mounted ballistic cannon designed to destroy infantry positions, light and medium armor, vehicles, and fortified targets.
Additional missiles and bombs allow the Reaper to engage heavier targets when necessary.
Unlike faster strike fighters, the Reaper is designed to remain over a combat zone for extended periods while repeatedly supporting friendly ground forces.
Extensive armor, redundant flight systems, and reinforced components allow the aircraft to survive significant battle damage and continue flying.
Among Hell Host infantry, the arrival of a Reaper is generally considered a very good sign.
For whoever it is approaching, considerably less so.
B-90 Nightfall Strategic Bomber
Classification: Strategic Bomber
Primary Role: Long-Range Bombardment
The B-90 Nightfall is a long-range bomber designed to deliver heavy conventional and specialist ordnance against strategically important targets.
Nightfall missions commonly target military installations, infrastructure, airfields, logistics hubs, hardened positions, and concentrations of hostile forces.
Its long operational range allows the aircraft to conduct strikes far beyond conventional frontline aviation.
T46 Heavy Air Transport
Classification: Heavy Transport Aircraft
Primary Role: Strategic Transport
The T46 is a large military transport aircraft designed to move high-value personnel, equipment, supplies, and specialist cargo between operational zones.
Its large internal capacity allows it to transport loads that smaller dropships and tactical aircraft cannot efficiently carry.
T46 aircraft are commonly used during large-scale deployments and logistical operations.
Autonomous Aircraft
D444 Courier Autonomous Drone
Classification: Autonomous Utility Drone
Primary Role: Battlefield Delivery / Strike Support
The D444 Courier is an autonomous aircraft designed around rapid battlefield delivery.
Its modular payload system allows it to transport ammunition, medical equipment, food, communications equipment, and other supplies directly to frontline personnel.
The same delivery architecture can also carry explosive ordnance.
As a result, the difference between a D444 resupply mission and a D444 bombing mission is largely determined by what has been placed inside it.
Aquatic and Naval Vehicles
D-7 Manta Submersible Assault Vehicle
Classification: Submersible Combat Vehicle
Primary Role: Underwater Warfare / Reconnaissance
The D-7 Manta is a compact military submersible used for underwater reconnaissance, infiltration, patrol, and combat.
Its streamlined profile and maneuverability allow it to operate around underwater installations, oceanic settlements, submerged cave networks, and other environments inaccessible to conventional naval vessels.
Mantas are commonly used alongside specialist aquatic formations.
3518 Leviathan Amphibious Assault Tank
Classification: Amphibious Assault Tank
Primary Role: Aquatic Fire Support
The 3518 Leviathan is a heavily armed aquatic combat vehicle capable of supporting operations both on and beneath the surface of large bodies of water.
Its modular weapons systems can carry several types of rockets, missiles, and direct-fire weapons depending on mission requirements.
Leviathans frequently provide heavy fire support to Hell Host forces operating on ocean worlds or conducting amphibious assaults.
H55 Skull-Class Surface Battlecruiser
Classification: Surface Battlecruiser
Primary Role: Naval Warfare
The H55 Skull is a heavily armed surface warship designed for planetary naval warfare.
Despite the increasing importance of orbital forces, surface navies remain necessary on ocean worlds where coastal installations, underwater facilities, shipping routes, and planetary military positions must be controlled directly.
The Skull incorporates advanced propulsion systems capable of moving the vessel at extremely high speed for a warship of its size.
Early claims that the vessel could travel through water at Mach 10 are generally regarded as exaggerations or misinterpretations of experimental propulsion data.
Its reinforced bow also allows the vessel to survive collisions and, under extreme circumstances, deliberately ram hostile vessels.
S226 Revenant Strategic Submarine
Classification: Strategic Submarine
Former Designation: 226u Atomic Submarine
Primary Role: Underwater Strike / Strategic Deterrence
The S226 Revenant is a large nuclear-powered submarine designed for extended underwater deployment.
It carries a mixture of torpedoes, long-range missiles, and strategic weapons capable of attacking naval, coastal, and inland targets.
The Revenant can remain submerged for extremely long periods and is designed to operate independently from surface fleets.
Older Hell Host personnel occasionally describe its firepower as sufficient to “send something to another universe and back.”
This is not considered an official technical specification.
Vehicle Doctrine
Hell Host forces rarely deploy vehicles in isolation.
Armored formations are commonly supported by reconnaissance vehicles, air-defence systems, artillery, aircraft, drones, logistics vehicles, and infantry. This combined-arms approach allows individual vehicle types to focus on their intended roles rather than attempting to perform every battlefield function.
Advanced technology also does not automatically replace older designs.
Vehicles such as the Monarch and Strider remain useful because they are reliable, widely available, easy to maintain, or capable of performing roles that newer platforms do not necessarily perform better.
Many vehicles have therefore undergone repeated modernization throughout Hell Host history rather than being completely replaced.
