The Pit Viper was designed as the multi-purpose Battle Tank. Capable of both anti-armor and anti-infantry roles, the Pit Viper is designed to be able to hold its own if it and its crew are seperated from friendly forces. Designed with the SOGP developed RazorTooth treads, designed for maximum grip as well as the shredding of anyone unfortunate enough to get in its way, the Pit Viper holds up to it's name as being a frightening close combat opponent.

The Pit Vipers primary 110mm weapon is a lower size of that of most MBTs, but it makes up for this deficiency with it's state-of-the-art Fire Control equipment. An onboard computer supplies all necessary information to the gunner, which can then be relayed through tight-stream broadcasts to a command unit. This information can be used on a GPS to pinpoint enemy locations for tactical bombing strikes or any other pinpoint weapon system. The system also calculates for wind, gravity and distance, and adjusts the barrel's direction accordingly.

Price per unit: $5,500,000 USD

The Death Adder's unique shape (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/Snow_Fall/Project%20Viper/Remake/DeathAdder3.jpg)

The Death Adder is was designed with one thing in mind. Maximum anti-infantry potential. Armed with three high rate-of-fire weapons, it can turn enemy infantry as well as light vehicles into a fine paste. The lighest and fastest moving of the three Viper tanks, the Death Adder can be used to strike quickly into enemy troop concentrations. As with the other two Vipers, the Death Adder utilizes the patented RazorTooth treads.

The primary weapon of the Death Adder is it's most fearsome feature. Capable of dealing death at 5,000 armor-piercing explosive rounds per minute, it is fully capable of tearing a building in half, and has done so in tests as well as field duty. If it is turned on soft targets, the effect is on par with the puree setting on a blender.

The secondary weapons can be fully automated with the use of IFF sensors to eliminate any hostile targets within range. This is helpful if the commander is too preoccupied to work both at once. Controlling both at once is done by the use of two joysticks at the commanders terminal placed in the center back of the turret. While the turret space is very cramped, it is made to provide as much comfort as possible to the two seated within. The pilot is located to the front of the turret in the body of the vehicle.

Price per unit: $6,500,000 USD

The price increase of the Death Adder over the Pit Viper is the more thorough use of electronics and computer systems involved.

The Sand Viper is a very powerful vehicle. The heaviest of the three Viper tanks, the Sand Viper has two 110mm cannons designed for maximum anti-vehicle capabilities. The two cannons can be fired at the same time, dealing incredible amounts of damage to a single target. While the Sand Viper lacks the anti-infantry capabilities of the other two Vipers, it makes up for it with much thicker armor. The armor of the Sand Viper is twice that of it's counterparts, and has extensive inner reinforcing. This vehicle can take a tremendous amount of punishment before it goes down.

Price per unit: $8,000,000 USD
