Medium Hover War Chariot Nagashi SB5M60
NAGASHI SB5M60 — MEDIUM HOVER WARCHARIOT
Feralon Empire — Standard Medium Tank
Name & Terminology
Named after a legendary Feralon charioteer (historical/mythological) SB5M60 Designation (Satrapy-class, variant 5, Model 60) WarChariot Feralon term for tank (honors ancient cavalry traditions)
Role & Doctrine
The Nagashi SB5M60 serves as the medium tank in many Feralon army corps. It is the workhorse of the Imperial armored forces — faster and more mobile than heavy walkers, better armed and protected than light scout vehicles.
Its role is to:
Exploit breaches created by heavier units (Crimson Death Guard, heavy walkers)
Provide mobile fire support to advancing infantry
Engage enemy medium armor and fortifications
Propulsion — Repulsor Hover System
Inverted gravity pulse repulsor engines Mechanism Presses against the earth to create lift Terrain PerformanceExcellent (ignores rough ground, water, soft soil)SpeedHigh (faster than tracked vehicles) Trade-offLeaves a visible flattened trail enemies can track the tank's path
Doctrine Implication: The Nagashi is fast but not stealthy. The flattened ground betrays its route. Feralon commanders use this to intimidate — the enemy sees the trail and knows the chariot is coming.
Technical Specifications
Type Medium tank (WarChariot)
Propulsion Repulsor hover (inverted gravity pulse)
Crew 4 (commander, driver, gunner, engineer)
Weight45 – 55 tons
Length8.5 – 9.5 meters
Width3.8 – 4.2 meters
Height2.8 – 3.2 meters
Primary Armament — 105mm Volt Cannon
Specification Value Caliber105mmTypeVolt Cannon (electric + molten plasma) Projectile Slug of electric and molten volt plasma.
EffectPenetration + melting + crystallizationSecondary EffectErosion and crystalization — makes wounds difficult to treat and armor hard to repair
The Volt Effect: Unlike conventional plasma or kinetic rounds, the Volt Cannon leaves crystalline residue in the wound or breach. This complicates medical treatment (crystals embed in tissue) and armor repair (crystalline growth weakens surrounding material).
Secondary Armament
Laser TurretTurret roof (gunner/commander operated)Anti-infantry
Laser Cannons (4)Forward-facing (hull)Anti-infantry / suppressive fire
Firepower Summary: The Nagashi is dangerous at all ranges — the Volt Cannon for armor, lasers for infantry and light vehicles.
Defensive Systems
Plasma Shield Projector Frontal "mask" of the tankDirectional energy shield (forward arc only)
Shield Limitations: As with all particle screen shields, the Nagashi cannot fire through its own shield. The plasma shield is typically raised while closing distance, then dropped to fire the Volt Cannon.
Tactical Doctrine
. Advance: Raise frontal plasma shield. Repulsors engaged. Leave flattened trail
. ApproachLasers suppress enemy infantry. Volt Cannon charges.
. EngageDrop shield. Fire Volt Cannon at enemy armor.
. Raise shield againReposition. Repeat.
. ExploitPush through breach. Support infantry advance.
