Skopio XV-1

The Skopio XV-1 was a massive vehicle built and piloted by Telluris.

History
Telluris based the design of the Skopio XV-1 on the Skopio, a creature native to Spherus Magna. The vehicle is more or less a war machine, and is intended to be used against enemy caravans and creatures by Telluris.

After the shattering, Telluris was isolated on Bara Magna, and now uses the Skopio XV-1 to traverse the wastelands, shunned by the rest of society for fear of carrying the mysterious plague that wiped most of his tribe out.

Features
The Skopio XV-1 featured the ability to travel using its four mechanical legs. It could also fold these legs up, activating the treads and allowing for greater speed. It also possessed a Thornax launcher and two force blasters for offensive power, allowing for effective long and close-range attacks.
