CID-12

The CID-12, often referred to as the "Sentinel Titan," is a formidable mecha tank utilized by the Settlement Defence Frontier (SDF). It occupies a unique position between a tank and a mecha due to its size, mobility, and the range of heavy weaponry it can carry. The CID-12 serves as a versatile combat platform, capable of taking on a variety of roles in the SDF's operations. 
== Overview ==
One of the most distinctive features of the CID-12 is its versatile armament. On its right shoulder, it boasts dual missile launchers capable of unleashing a devastating barrage of guided munitions, making it a potent asset against fortified enemy positions or armored targets. Additionally, a high-caliber minigun is integrated into the right arm, providing rapid and sustained firepower for suppressing enemy infantry and light vehicles.
The mecha also features a top-mounted cannon, although it's rarely utilized due to its limited rotation capabilities. When deployed, this cannon can deliver precise and powerful strikes against enemy assets at long range. These diverse weapon systems make the CID-12 adaptable to various combat scenarios, from open-field engagements to urban warfare.
The CID-12 is renowned for its exceptional strength, with manipulator-equipped arms capable of performing a wide range of tasks, including breaching fortified positions, lifting heavy objects such as infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), and engaging in close-quarters combat. This physical prowess allows it to excel in situations where raw power is required.
In terms of durability, the CID-12 is designed to withstand significant punishment on the battlefield. It is impervious to small arms fire and can endure multiple missile strikes without suffering critical damage. This resilience allows it to operate in hazardous environments and absorb enemy fire while providing support to SDF ground forces in both urban and wide scale operations.
Despite its imposing size, the CID-12 exhibits surprising mobility and flexibility. It features multiple degrees of movement that enable it to navigate challenging terrain and adapt to various combat scenarios. When not engaged in combat, the CID-12 can curl up into a compact configuration, facilitating its transportation within the hull of a Warden dropship. This versatility ensures that the SDF can rapidly deploy CID-12 units to critical areas of conflict.
== Trivia ==
=== General ===
*The CID-12 has been a subject of debate within military and technical circles. While many classify it as a mecha due to its bipedal design and versatility in combat, some argue that it is essentially an oversized combat droid. The ongoing debate has not affected its effectiveness on the battlefield, where it continues to play a crucial role in SDF operations.
*The CID-12's FR-T top-mounted cannon is known for its impressive firepower, but it lacks the ability to rotate or adjust its barrel's elevation. As a result, the mecha must physically reorient itself to target and engage enemies with this weapon. This limitation can be a tactical challenge in fast-paced combat situations, where quick target acquisition is essential.
*The CID-12's legs are notably heavily armoured, but the left mounted chain gun is quite sensitive to damage from anti armour weapons.
*The TRF minigun mounted on the CID-12 is a formidable weapon with a substantial 50mm caliber. This impressive firepower enables the CID-12 to effortlessly deal with heavily armored targets, such as the NXSC MR-C Tortoise. The sheer kinetic force and rate of fire of the minigun make it a devastating asset on the battlefield, capable of neutralizing threats swiftly and decisively.
*This design is already being phased out for better options.
