==Description==
The '''Teppō''' artillery support vehicle is an [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] super heavy combat vehicle that is designed to provide support to frontline combat units of the [[Draconis Combine]]. First produced just after the [[Jihad]], this massive vehicle was designed to be a regiment's mobile artillery battery and also provide additional command and repair abilities through its pair of Support Trailers. The Teppō's creation was a result of the hard lessons learned from nearly two decades of fighting the [[Word of Blake]] and the [[Black Dragon Society]]. Using the [[Ryuken|Ryuken's]] [[Combined-Arms]] command style as a model, the Teppō and its support trailers would attempt to replicate the elite brigade's command capabilities for other frontline Regiments.  Built on [[Unity]] at [[Pesht Motors]], the Teppō is noted for its high quality due to each vehicle being hand-built.<ref name="TRO:3085Sp20+"/>
