The Petal Sentient Tank is a prototype cybertank from East Zimia and the Wallis Islands. An evolution of the Bassarid Quadwalkers, the Petal is an eight-legged combat walker equipped with a 120mm L/44 smoothbore gun fed by a twenty-two round autoloader, as well as three 12.5mm heavy machine guns. The vehicle does not have a regular crew and is instead piloted by a "brain jar", a disembodied lich brain contained within an armoured capsule.
By 1736 AN, the two heavy tank battalions of the Crown Guards each possessed a squadron of fourteen Petal tanks.
Unit organisation
Sentient tanks are organised into units known as lances, each comprising a single tank, a repair and resupply vehicle with two or three zombots, and sometimes an APC with supporting infantry. Three or four lances comprise a troop, and three troops a squadron. A squadron has an additional headquarters troop commanded by one or two sentient tanks (each with their own supporting lance) together with attached maintenance and resupply sections; smaller quadwalkers are sometimes attached for reconnaissance and flank security.
