==Overview:==
The Firedreke was the first armored
fighting vehicle to be developed by Faraday Combine that went from prototype
to final production model in record time.

==Capabilities:==
Looking to make something that paid hommage to the older tanks but at the same
time was different the engineer and design team set out to make the Firedrake
a class of it's own.

The armament is formidable, mounting the newly developed Tolgren Heavy Arms
Mk10 HV AC/10. This allows the tank’s commander
to punch through a target with ease and kill most things in one shot. Once the
gunner has "harpooned" an opposing unit, the twin
Hawkeye Sure Fire four-tube missile racks take advantage of the damaged armor
to further punch into and gut then enemy. This combination is all but
guaranteed to cripple enemy vehicles with the first closerange shots.

Adding in the Zeus Long Range Missiles, that works in conjuction with the
Apple Churchill 442x TAG to guide the missiles into the target further
completes the death of anything caught in the crosshairs of the Firedrake.
