Built using a centuries-old design, these golem frames are also still used extensively for construction and other industrial tasks. The Gabor is capable of traversing almost any terrain, using its rugged and powerful, four-turbine drive train. Due to its long history and rugged maneuverability, there are many variants of the Gabor, ranging from salvage models to amphibious assault configurations. The most common configuration is an assault unit, wielding a turreted field mortar and guided missiles as its primary armament. Other Gabor variations used throughout Eden include a dedicated artillery gun configuration that often serves for coastal defense and long ranged field support, as well as an anti-armor configuration that carries a high-velocity cannon.
In addition to the Gabor’s weapons payload, the vehicle also acts as a drone command carrier, housing an armored vehicle bay for as many as eight hive-networked drones. On the battlefield, the bug drones are deployed as forward spotters and perimeter combat units, helping flush out encroaching enemy units and tagging larger targets for artillery bombardment, allowing its multiple drones to swarm over enemy positions or fortifications.
Service Record
First fielded during the Scrap Wars by the then fledgling Seiath Empire, the Gabor has evolved from a crude combat walker with simple rockets and cannons bolted to the hull into a sophisticated weapons platform. By the end of the Scrap Wars, all kingdoms were fielding multiple configurations of the vehicle, making the Gabor the standard, heavy golem for Eden’s militaries. Due to the extreme size and cost, there are few Gabors fielded outside the kingdom armed forces. Till now, the kingdoms have been the only economic entities capable of providing the required naval support and supply lines to support Gabor columns. However, there are privateer islands that boast handfuls of old Artillery Gabors used as mobile coastal defense platforms.
