Description The Titan is the latest in a long line of 'colossi', or giant land vehicles, fielded by the Nuclean Army, and the first model to be used in the Ancerious galaxy. Colossi are rarely seen in ground combat, due to being an orbital bombardment magnet, however in cases where more conventional means can't take care of a target, colossi are sometimes deployed.
The Titan itself is towed or teleported into orbit of the planet in question, before landing independently of the main force. While it is not capable of acting as an actual warship, it can engage them both in space (so long as it's in orbit) and on the ground to a limited extent, but this is typically left to the real warships. Once on the battlefield, it focuses on other colossi, as well as obliterating terrain, large enemy forces, and other large targets with either of its massive main spatial guns, both of which are capable of smashing sizable sections out of mountains (although firing one takes all weapons power temporarily).
The hover orientation of the vehicle is alterable, and the pilot sits in a rotatable cockpit in the center of the vehicle, allowing it to aim in literally any direction.

Electronics/Crew
The Titan takes a single pilot, who takes the role of commander, designating targets and firing the main gun. Assisting him with targeting is the onboard AI, who drives the vehicle and operates the other weapons to deal with lesser targets.
If needed, they can switch roles or one can take over the functions of the other if needed.
A complicated matrix of embedded sensors in the hull allows the pilot and AI complete awareness of everything around the vehicle. These sensors include passive radiation sensors as well as acoustic, magnetic, gravimetric, and radar detection systems.
This large amount of sensory information is processed by the vehicle's AI, and is displayed for the pilot via their helmet, allowing them to look around and see what's outside the vehicle, as if it was transparent.

Propulsion
Antigravity drive
12x tachyon thrusters
