This Quar's War: Coftyran Chyweethl Tractor

The first Chyweethls clattered into service in the late 1640s, and some form of the venerable machine has served under the Coftyran Mechanical Corps’ banner ever since. While the modern Chyweethl shares little with its early ancestors beyond its hunched silhouette and signature chained-pedrail system, its lineage is unmistakable. Over 140 years, it has seen seven major revisions and untold minor adjustments - each one a tinkerer’s fingerprint on Coftyr’s armored doctrine. True to Coftyran design philosophy, the Chyweethl eschews a turret entirely, instead channeling its mass into a heavier main gun. This trade-off demands remarkable coordination from its crew; the driver, commander, and gunner must train together tirelessly, as the limited gun traverse means the driver must delicately “steer” shots into place by feathering the throttles. Though the chained-pedrail grants impressive traction and rugged cross-country resilience, it loathes paved roads - just a few miles on smooth stone can chew through the pedrails and scar the track. As a result, redeploying Chyweethl-equipped units over long distances remains a logistical headache - one more quirk in a machine full of them.
