History
"I'm a one-tank apocalypse."

-A Wasteland commander

Community Command has come to realize that when the final phases of their plans are activated, much of the world will come after them with everything they have. Again their shores will become a battlefield, their coasts a naval graveyard. This would mean that the Community would face one of the most dangerous weapons of war; the superheavy vehicle.

Yet despite their propaganda value, the Community is smart enough to know that a superheavy system is, if anything, a massive target for the enemy to practice on with all their systems. Community Command wanted nothing to do with a superheavy tank, knowing that the resources spent on a similar, simpler system would be more cost-effective. Simple practicality would have normally prevented the construction of such a unit for the Community, but as the cliche goes, "When in Aselia". The sheer number of superheavy systems all other factions have means that to go without leaves a force vulnerable.

Still, the Community lacked the same kind of engineers that made the Mammoth, FIST or Battle Tortoise possible. Desperate to play catch up, the Wolf Clan engineers assigned to the project went for the most direct route possible: They made a giant metal box and stuck a smaller metal box atop the box to serve as a turret. Two metalstorm machine guns were placed on ball turrets at the sides to aid against enemy infantry, and the entire creation was so heavily armored that two massive tractor engines were needed to power it.

Compared to other superheavies and Serpent and Dragon Clan's K3 Grey Tigers and Sensenmann Tanks, the Wasteland is a hunk of junk barely worth the title. Though easily capable of shaking a structure to pieces and moving through enemy infantry and battlesuits, mecha and other vehicles can easily flank to the rear as well as showing a remarkable vulnerability to enemy aircraft. In fact, it makes one wonder why the Wolf Clan bothered to create it at all. At least, they would if anyone actually knew about the Wasteland.

Community Command are trying to learn from what's happened over the past few decades, which means that the Wasteland is currently their only real "secret". All finished models of the tanks are kept practically under lock and key, deep in the heart of the outback away from the rest of the world. The crews train to become experts at maintaining and using their new vehicles, informed of the full scope of the Community plans. Where other superheavy crews are at best loyal sociopaths to their causes or unfeeling crew, the Wasteland crews could charitably be called the best of their countrymen. Made up of only veteran vehicle crews from the last war and trained to know every facet of their new tank, the Wasteland is the Community only trump card. When the plan kicks into gear, the best hope for the Wastelands is that they'll buy enough time for all the civilians to be saved.
