==Weapons and Equipment==
Michaelson's engineers made the Defense AA able go anywhere, which included giving the vehicle limited amphibious capacities. While not speedy, its tracked motive system gives it the ability to go most places on the ground, while being able to resist some damage inflicted in combat.  One of the vehicle's noted features is its 8 tons of StarSlab/7 Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor, giving it more durability while under fire.
