Description

Word of Blake's Bolla Stealth Tank was designed during the early part of the Jihad as part of the Serpentus series of OmniVehicles. The Bolla's inception was made possible from salvage of Capellan stealth vehicles in 3069 and first seen in combat in 3072.[1] The tank was design to support cybernetically enhanced infantry of the Manei Domini and produced by Krupp Armament Works on Terra.

The tank made its first appearance in combat on Galatea with elements of the 47th Shadow Division assisting pacification of the planet. The tank with its flexible omni-pod weaponry and its stealth capacities took allied mercenary forces by surprised during conflict.
