Spartan Games: When deciding the direction each of the Planetfall races would take, the Relthoza presented us with a unique challenge and great potential to make something very distinct and exciting.
In the Firestorm setting, the warrior caste of the arachnid like Relthoza are described as over ten feet tall and fifteen or more feet long, so any Main Battle Tank (MBT) crewed by these aliens would be improbably huge! Added to this is the idea that the Relthoza are an incredibly advanced race – not mindless bugs, but individuals – possessing technologies that rival even the Directorate. With all this in mind, we decided that their MBT equivalent would in fact be Relthoza warriors themselves, mounted in neuro-controlled mech suits that double their height and give each soldier the combat effectiveness of a tank. Much more information and pictures can be found on the Spartan Games Blog.
