Development[]
near the midway point russocella war it was decided by celioan generals that something new was required to cross the shell torn wastelands that were once bustling city's. The Celio mk 1 , named after its country of origin , was conjured up. The tank was a victim of not only financial but technological backwash, using weak riveted armour and forcing the 3 man crew to look through cutouts in the tank due to lack of lense's. The tank has a complete lack of suspension with tracks running all around the tank, while the ride was more than acceptable on smooth ground the crew would be tossed around when the tank picked up speed. its main Armament consisted of a pair of 50 mm short barreled cannons mounted in sponsons on either side of the tank with some later battle hardened tank crews cutting out holes or removing the visor from the front of the tank to allow them to fire straight ahead with their small arms. The tanks elongated design allowed to to cross churned and cluttered ground with ease however due to its overall thin profile turning the tank at rest or at speed is close to impossible.
