Crimson H.I.S.S. III

High Speed Sentry

Infantry can take an objective, but armor is the only true way to hold it. The Cobra HISS Tank was developed my Destro’s M.A.R.S. corporation to fulfill two separate needs on the battle field, anti-personnel and heavy armor. With its twin 30mm automatic canons, a top speed of 75mph and its slim design, the HISS tank is the most versatile and deadly opposition on any battlefield. Weather on city streets of through the dense jungle, the HISS can outrun, out-maneuver, and out perform anything in it’s class. Built with a modular design allowing Cobra’s technicians to easily replace and repair battle damaged units with maximum efficiency. Although the highly specialized Crimson Tanker's are selected to pilot the Crimson HISS, the cockpit design is simple enough for any Crimson Guardsman to understand and operate.

Crimson Brigade Variation

As Cobra has grown, so has the need for an elite strike force, one that can be used in missions where a crew of Vipers just wont cut it. The Crimson Armor Brigade was created to fill that void. Using the standard issue (re-deco) Crimson HISS III and given a compliment of specially trained Crimson Tankers, who are presented with the honor of donning a variation of the Crimson Elite uniform, The Crimson Brigade can be used in any precision operation that may require heavy armor and artillery.
