A stopgap armoured vehicle developed by the ESB Group for Constancia during the Euran War, the Mark 4 Land Cruiser went on to enjoy unexpected popularity in Eastern Keltia, particularly amongst the Maritime Markets of the Strait of Haifa. Following the folding of the Maritime Markets into the Bassarid Federation in the closing stages of the War of Lost Brothers and closure of the straits to Sxiro-Natopian shipping, production was restarted in the Natopian territory of Elijah's Rest.
Entirely obsolete and retired from service by the early eighteenth century after Norton, another sixty examples of the type were built by the Sårensby Arsenal for Normark, believed to have been ordered as part of a drive to revivify lost manufacturing capabilities. If the examples were taken into service at all, it was probably as training vehicles for the familiarisation of inexperienced crews with the rudiments of mechanised warfare.
