Continental Defense Unit (Military Landcraft)

The CDU mounts two starship class fusion gun turrets in addition to a large array of smaller weapons primarily intended for defense. With its thick armor and good active defense, the CDU is proof against almost anything short of a starship meson gun battery. Very few have ever actually been built, due to the difficulty of transport, and public mistrust of an unmanned device so potentially destructive.
