Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Magnetron

"Magnetron's systems green."

-Magnetron

The Magnetron is an anti-structure and unit immobilizer vehicle that was originally developed as the successor to the Mag-Lift Tank, but never entered to Voshkod service and currently now serves under Auring service

Overview
The Magnetron is the result of Druchii' novel, yet succesful, venture into the field of magnetism through acquired the blueprints of the Mag-Lift successor. PsiCorps has been attempting to recreate the power that Libra and Auring Elites commanded over gravity through their psychic abilities in order to use for their vehicles. Though failing to achieve this goal with conventional technology, PsiCorps' researchers developed an alternative method, mimicking this power based on Voshkod's Mag Lifts. Through the use of natural magnetic field, the Magnetron can use powerful electromagnets in order to be 'repelled', allowing it to hover above the ground and traverse water.

The weapon of the Magnetron works on a similar priniciple. The pull of the magnetic beam emanating from this siege weapon can rip structures apart piece by piece. When faced with enemy armor, the Magnetron can reverse the polarity of its weapon, resulting in the target becoming a magnet of its own. This causes the magnetized victim to slowly be pinned to the ground and pull adjacent units towards it. The more Magnetrons target a single unit, the stronger magnet it becomes. For all this power though, the Magnetron is harmless to most of the enemy infantry, as the amount of iron in human blood is too low for the Magnetron to manipulate. Its effects will only work on the heavily-armored troops.
