* = Hexra Armour

Overview: Essentially made up of six major components, sepleted uranium, steel, ceramics, Armind fiber , along with carbon whiskers, makes this armour good for tanks, and armoured vehicles. After 3 years of research the AZK has made this info public.

Idea: The idea came to us when we saw that most tanks use thick armour, but why not thinner but better armour? Well we though this over and we couldn't get and answer, but we did come up with this, why not use various materials to make good armour? Well we did and this is what we have.

Use: Soon to be added in all AZK tanks the Hexra armour is best in tanks where armour is essential, and with the abiltiy to quickly be replaced the Hexra armour is perfect for tanks.

Design: A depleted uranium shell, then comes steel mixed with carbon whiskers, then a ceramic honeycomb, then more steel, again added carbon whiskers for more strength, and finally, armind fiber to protect from fragments from entering the crew compartment.

Note: Carbon whiskers researched at The New Commonwealth Science Institute.

** = Swinux OS


Info: Swinux is a Unix based operating system designed for Afrika Empire Vehicles and computers. The main system is coded in pure C, along with the newest modified kernal. The system has support for the Swin GUI which is easy to use a follow, with over 10gb of data, this operating system is fully featured, with software to manage all the data flowing from the computers within the vehicle and displays it with a program called Dataveh. The main features are, sercure code, patched daily, updated weekly, can run Windows,Mac OSX and other linux programs, which means almost any program made can run on the system through a emulator or on the system, server software that is highly secure, and over one-thousand other programs are installed.

OOC: Nice tank, you could photoshop the pic a bit, its blatantly obvious that its the Hyundai K1-M (South Korea). Its a nice tank on its own but you could put a frame around it, add a few National pics etc, make it look like an add from your nation etc.

Just some suggestions.

Well yes thats the picture, but if you read the design its not even similar to the K-1, as you can probably see I'm not an artist, so the best way to get a good looking tank, was to get a picture of some other tank, and this looked the most like my tank and look cool. :)
