The Árma is a main battle tank used by the Royal Arkianian Armed Forces. The tank was developed under the modernization and domestic production programs in the 1550s. It began development in 1560 and entered official service in 1574. Since then five main variants of the tank have been deployed. It was used extensively in the Arkianian-Achian War in 1588, as well as during the Achian Insurgency.
Design criteria included rapid repair of battle damage, survivability, off-road performance, and incline performance. With the engine in front, the layout is intended to grant additional protection against frontal attacks, so as to absorb the force of incoming shells especially for the personnel in the main hull. It also created more space in the read of the tank that allowed increased storage capacity and rear entrance to the main crew compartment allowing easy access under enemy fire. The design is also modular and is used as platform for medical disembarkation, a forward command and control station, self-propelled howitzers, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled anti-air, and Armored Personnel Carriers. The rear entrance's clamshell-style doors provide overhead protection when off- and on-loading cargo and personnel.
