-AIF tank factory- A new heavy hovertank is unveiled for production, the T6-B Gargantuan. Armed with either a 200mm railgun, equivalent power laser, or an ion cannon in the main turret, twin 40mm autocannons in a roof mounted secondary turret, and 5 12mm MGs, with 1 coaxial with the main weapon, and 4 in remote turrets protecting each side of the vehicle. Anti tank missiles can also be mounted on the main and upper turrets, and the 40mm can also fire smoke grenades. The powerplant is a new, more powerful design from the T5-B, and makes use of antimatter catylization. Maximum speed is 60 mph over good terrain. Armor is MK VI composite, with 1100mm sloped frontal armor, 850mm side armor, 1200mm turret face, 900mm turret side armor, 400mm rear armor, and 60mm armor on the upper gun pod. 4 high luminosity lights are also mounted, with 3 standard lights, and one high power searchlight that has already been nicknamed the "little ion cannon" by test crews. Overall vehicle weight is around 150 metric tons.

The Gargantuan has crew stations for six, with space for a seventh man. The positions are: commander, main battery gunner, loader/radio operator, upper turret gunner, defensive gunner, and driver. The extra position can house a battalion commander or other command officer, or can be used for high durability transport of officials, when not in use, the position can be used for additional ammunition storage. The commander, gunner, and loader are in the turret, with the other crew housed in the hull. When using explosive ammunition, blowout panels are included. Escape hatches are through the top of the turret, out the hull roof forward, and out the bottom. Infantry can also be carried on the roof of the rear hull, however they are vulnerable to enemy fire.
