Description/Overview:
             The Type-75 heavy mobile arthropod tank was a second act of desperation on the part of the Solar Empire.  Introduced in 2075, this massive 100-ton mecha was intended to help defend Venus and Mars from the onslaught of the EFSM legion of battlerobots, which by that time would soon be landing on the UN worlds as the 1st Interplanetary War reached its climax.  If the Type-75 had been introduced a few years earlier, it may have been able to turn the tide of the war for the Solar Empire, but like the Type-73 before it, this mecha was inadequate.  The Solar Empire designed the machine to be a limited-production mecha intended to act as a mobile artillery battery that could shoot the Earth troopships (like the Ogre class) out of the sky before they deployed their deadly cargo of battlerobots.  The Type-75 was an extension of the older Type-73 multiped tank introduced in 2073.
             The Type-75 was built in small numbers by the Solar Empire during the final years of the 1st Interplanetary War.  It was not a main combat unit, but was used as a command unit by the UN during the EFSM’s invasion of the Mars and Venus spheres.  The Type-75 was also constructed by the Mars Federal Colonies during the 2080s and some examples of this machine survived well into the 22nd century.
