Geist Anti-Infantry Tank

The is a vehicle used by the USR. Intended for urban warfare, the Geist packs a fearsome hail of fire at short range. 
==Description==
The Geist is a variant of the Wraith, fulfilling the role of heavy anti-infantry unit. The large Plasma Mortar is replaced with a mount carrying a battery of four rapid-fire plasma autocannons, creating a lethal hailstorm of high-velocity plasma. The Geist is incredibly deadly in close quarters battlefield situations, capable of shredding infantry formations within seconds. However, the Geist is exceedingly weak against armoured vehicles, and against infantry in hard cover, but can provide sufficient suppressive fire to ensure they stay down. As such, regular Sword combat doctrine is for a Geist to be close escorted by Wraiths for protection against enemy armour, to destroy enemy defilade, or force the enemy out of cover.
Geists are often sent into urban combat situations, where they support Wraiths and Poltergeists by protecting them against infantry threats. They also serve as short-range anti-aircraft vehicles, albeit with limited effectiveness. 
==Variants==
===Sword Geist===
Urban combat takes a toll on the Geist, forcing the production of the Sword Geist. With improved armour, newer models are sent into the fray.
===Ultra Geist===
Championed as the ultimate weapon for close-quarters fire, the Geist swaps the Plasma Autocannon for the Heavy Concussion Cannons seen on aircraft. Four of these, firing in sequence, create a brutal hail of high-explosive fire that can tear apart armour and cover with ease.
