Triaros

The Triaros Armoured Conveyer, also known simply as the Triaros, was the primary armoured battlefield transport of the Mechanicum Taghmata during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. The Triaros eschews the more commonplace Standard Template Construct (STC) designs and instead relies on a number of unique technologies held as arcana by the Magos Autokrator and never divulged for wider Imperial use, even by the Legiones Astartes.

Construction
The Triaros was designed for use in hostile environments, incorporating multiple galvanic traction drives for increased maneuverability in rough terrain. The Triaros' capacious storage bay can be hermetically sealed if needed, which allows the vehicle to be used in toxic environments and even in hard vacuum and on the surfaces of lifeless worlds. The internal bay is outfitted with numerous specialised couplings for the recharging and cold-sleep of tech-thralls and light automata. The vehicle is capable of transporting up to twenty tech-thralls or light automata. The vehicle's defences are comprised not only of thick brutish armour, but layered techno-cant warding and interlocking energy, particularly around its seemingly exposed control dais, as well as its independently animated weapon servitors. The Triaros' chassis design and powerful on-board reactor system is very similar to that of the Krios Battle Tank, although it is unknown if the Triaros is a variant of the Krios.

Armament
The Triaros is armed with a number of smaller weapon systems for defense against enemy attack while it delivers its cargo to the battlefield. The vehicle's main weapon is a set of pintle-mounted twin-linked Mauler Bolt Cannons, although it is also armed with two Volkite Sentinels, one on each side. One of the more remarkable feature's of the Triaros, however, is its powerful reactor-fed Shock Ram that's mounted to its forward hull. The ram can be used to shatter and incinerate anything it comes into contact with. The Triaros can also be outfitted with several upgrades or attachments including extra armour plating, up to two Hunter-Killer Missile Launchers, smoke launchers, a search light, Blessed Autosimulacra, or a Flare Shield.
