The Solace C7 Main Battle Tank is a powerful armoured assault vehicle in service with the Imperial Jade Navy. It is designed and built by Wernham-Hogg of the Jade Empire.
DESIGNWernham-Hogg began to develop a successor to the IdaiTech TAITAN 1 MBT in late 2661. The anti-gravity systems used by the TAITAN 1, whilst effective, were difficult to maintain and prone to mechanical failures, and so a new propulsion system was developed. The IJN placed an initial order in 2463 and since then has been phasing out its TAITAN 1 stock in favour of the Solace C7.
The Solace C7 is armed with an Arisaka K120 Long Noroi Gun, an anti-armor |

Noroi gun. It also has a coaxial 14mm coilgun, for which it carries 3,000 rounds of ammunition. It also has a flare and chaff launcher.The Solace C7 utilises the Dragonscale composite armour system, the exact design of which is unknown but is believed to include heavy umi-tetsu mesh ceramics, void-titanium angular plating and several elastic layers protecting it from kinetic impacts, baffling jet and shaped charges using a shatter gap and crack deflection, among other characteristics. A thin coating of superconducting vitredeur is overlaid on top which permits the armour to absorb and reduce the damage received from directed energy weapons.
The Solace C7 uses a Wernham-Hogg A4 Hydrocell Engine and has an operational range of 200km off-road on internal fuel with a top speed of 90kmph off-road. Its Bathymetric Hardlight generators allow it to traverse rough terrain and even hover unsupported for short periods. It has a theoretically unlimited flight ceiling, but higher elevations burn fuel much more rapidly and abrade the field retaining the hardlight photonic material.
Its onboard sensory suite is primarily used for local defense, with spoofing systems to confuse attempts at accurate detection and the ability to actively interfere with incoming guidance systems. It has high survivability ratings with excellent crew escape ratings, and is outfitted with an automated SilverBrig vehicle-mounted situational awareness and active protection hard kill system, which can intercept short-range and fast-moving projectiles such as AGMs.
