A flock take a break for a quick snack with a UNN Marine. The Marine wants to share his MRE, much to the amusement of the flock (family unit.) As their suits mimic their (covered) feathers colors, some are excited (yellow), happy (green), and even somewhat infatuated (pink) with the human. Note the driver's suit is linked to the tank itself, which allows the crew to quickly communicate orders or intentions to other flocks with complex colored signals.

After Valbara join the Coalition, a military alliance of six races to combat the Betelgeusian insect threat, The Consensus (The Valbaran political/military leadership) decided to raise an invasion army to retake their former lost colony, Kerguela. To do so, several vehicles were quickly developed, intended to wage war across a whole moon with lightning-fast strikes and deadly precision. Valbarans have always been adept at being quick on their feet and their doctrine contrasts the steadfast fist of humanity’s mechanized companies.

The Cozat'li (A type of ancient bladed weapon) is the Consensus' primary anti-armor and fire support platform. The base model pictured here, mounts a Coalition 30mm coilgun. Though normally a roof-mounted blister gun for much larger human vehicles, the weapon is quite capable against insects of all sizes, especially hulking Warriors. The gun also makes short work of normal Betelgeusian Drones, often turning them to paste with one shot, making the weapon a perfect fire support weapon for Commandos.

The front hull and turret is armored against plasma, the weapon type of choice by the insects, and can defeat plasma cannon rounds fired from Warriors. Though the Cozat'li only needs a crew of two, driver and gunner, extra flock members can ride along, providing more eyes to spy threats, or to provide infantry support during engagements. Kerguela is dominated by red, orange, and yellow foliage, hence their camo and the campaign to retake the moon: The Autumn War.
