Simply titled "The Decimator", this machine was developed by the Republic in its secret testing facility located on Eredenn. It was stolen by General Sev'rance Tann in a surprise raid, and was used to capture the Republic controlled energy production world of Sarapin.
The Decimator's body was mostly flat, save for a tower that sat at its centre-rear, possibly serving as its control centre. Just in front of this tower, in the centre of the vehicle, was a large red orb. This apparently served some purpose in the firing mechanism. Even when not firing, energy passed through the orb in waves. When the weapon was activated, the energy would gather, causing the orb to glow a brilliant green, before launching a single, focused beam towards the target.
The scale of the Decimator is difficult to determine using surviving records. Educated guesses using the control tower and troop capacity as a reference place it around the size of a SPHA-T.
