Jaqc Military Hardware

## General Overview

During the course of their *Crusades*, the Jaqc Monocracy deploy a variety of different military hardware, specifically designed to inflict maximum damage on non-believers and protect their boarders. This intelligence file details several different types of weaponry employed by the Jaqc.

## Ashkenaz Purification Tank

The *Ashkenaz Purification Battle Tank* in service to the *5th Crusade Grand Army* of the Jaqc Monocracy. The *Ashkenaz-Class* is equipped with variable treads as well as *Anti-Gravity Field Projectors* which allows it to glide effortlessly, even over the most difficult terrain.

The main weapons of the *Ashkenaz-Class* includes a *Depleted Nuridium Shell Launcher*, which has an operational range of 3km and launches powerful *Depleted Nuridium* shells that produce a miniature negative energy explosion.

The secondary weapon of the *Ashkenaz-Class* includes a smaller *Disruptor* turret that can vaporise enemy infantry on contact, providing an effective defence to protect the tank from small-arms fire.

The tank is also equipped with a small shield matrix and 100mm thick *Rolled Tetraburnium Armor plating*.

## Riphath Mechanised Armor Unit

The *Riphath-Class MAU*, or *"Mechanised Armor Unit"* is a walking battle tank used exclusively by the Jaqc Monocracy. Known as *"Dogs of the Abyss"*, the *Riphath-Class* was originally developed during the *3rd Holy Crusade* against the Pavarnis Assembly, as a unit specifically designed to resist the telepathy of the Pavarnis species.

Standing over 30 meters tall, the *Riphath-Class* is an imposing sight on the battlefield, designed to strike fear into the hearts of the heretics. Abandoning bipedal motion for a four-legged design, the *Riphath-Class* is equipped with a multitude of different weapon emplacements built into its internal structure.

With this unique four-legged design, the *Riphath-Class* is surprisingly agile and fast for its size, effortlessly scaling terrain while its various speakers project the holy music of the Abyss across the surface of an opposing world. The *Riphath-Class* is also capable of switching from quadrupedal to bipedal movement, allowing the unit to adapt to various different situations.

The *Riphath-Class* units are commanded by 10 dedicated Jaqc officers while being able to carry an additional 120 troops for rapid deployment along its *"stomach"* region. Interestingly, the Jaqc have been proven to consider possible vulnerability to the legs as a large *plasma cutter* has been installed along the entire underside of the belly to ensure that any attempt to attack the legs or feet of the unit will result in failure.

The *Riphath-Class* is usually used by *Jaqc Field Commanders* during combat engagements, with its *Combat Information Centre* containing a sophisticated *3d Holographic Imagine System* that relays combat information in real time. The unit is also equipped with the following arsenal.

* *Electromagnetic Mass Graviton Canon* - The energy for which is extracted from the planet below through the use of massive electromagnetic collectors imbedded in the feet.
* *Negative Plasma Purification Flamethrowers*
* *Long Range Mass Packet Kinetic Missiles -* Capable of hitting ships in orbit
* *Long Range Kinetic Missiles* - Capable of hitting ships in orbit
* *Ventral Plasma Cutter*
* *Point Defence Disruptors*
