Creature:Olvidian/Military

The Olvidian Military is what secures its place in the galaxy. Likewise, in order to stay anchored, it needs to maintain its military. As such, only the finest of Olvidians are selected as infantry units. Infantry units, although not as widely used when compared to vehicular warfare, are a lot cheaper and can prove to be very effective when used properly. The main bulk of the Olvidian's military might is made up of spacecraft, from which other craft can be launched.

=Land= The land vehicle is a must-have for any army. It allows quick travel from Point A to Point B, as well as shelter from the elements and more space for guns! Typically, the Olvidians use tanks and mechs for "Blitzkrieg" tactics against an opposing nation. Smaller, more compact vehicles are usually used as scouts or reconnaissance vehicles.

Avalanhaw
The Avalanhaw was the Olvidian's first land vehicle created, as well as the first vehicle seen in use on Vivia. It utilizes nuclear energy and keeps itself aloft using a special "anti-grav pod" located near the rear of the vehicle. It takes four Olvidians to make complete use of the vehicle. It comes equipped with one large Anti-Tank gun on the left side of the turret, and two smaller Anti-Infantry guns on the other side. Even if the Avalanhaw is old, it is still widely used throughout the Olvidian Empire.

Charibonian
The Olvidian Prowler was first seen being used in the Siege on Saplats during the beginnings of recorded history. It utilizes the same armaments as the Avalanhaw, but it also offers a smaller under"chin" auto-turret that engages enemy infantry. Unlike the Avalanhaw, however, the Prowler needs only one Olvidian to pilot it. Due to its mech design, it can also go places that the Avalanhaw can't, such as up steep slopes. Although not as common as the Avalanhaw, it certainly is less expensive to produce. Currently, some colonies are phasing out the Avalanhaw in favor of the Prowler.

Colawk
The Colawk is a small, lightweight reconnaissance vehicle used to scout out potential ambush points. Colawk translates into fast or rapid, referring to the speed of the vehicle. It supports only one Olvidian, although two can (uncomfortably) ride. It uses a single wheel in the front, and smaller anti-grav pods in the back. It has no weaponry of its own, so the driver must be able to out-maneuver any opposition he finds. It has absolutely no use in combat whatsoever; it only aids in the effectiveness. Several "civilian" makes are being produced and sold to the general public as well.
