Vandalia the Gorilla

 is a member of the G.U.N. Ninth Army Division where she serves as the driver for a powerful TV4 Hydra Assault Vehicle, a superheavy assault vehicle.

Physical Description
As with most gorillas, Vandalia is tall and powerfully built, with clear muscular strength in her arms even if she lacks size in comparison to her male counterparts. With thick black fur, many are surprised to find that Vandalia has ocean-green hair hidden beneath her helmet, something that she often seems amused by, with her smile often remarked to bring out a sparkle in her brown eyes.

Attire
As a member of one of the largest G.U.N. divisions, Vandalia has very limited leeway with her uniform, typically dressed in the standard issue fatigues, helmet and boots that most people in the United Federation associate with the soldiers that protect them.

Abilities
Vandalia has made a career out of driving and maintaining super-heavy vehicles, and her own physical strength isn't lacking for somebody that has to lift parts all day. Most gorillas have impressive strength, and even if there is an obvious gender difference in their power, she has never struggled. In addition, she possesses that strength in spades in hand-to-hand combat, though she typically only employs this in drills and sparring rather than actually in proper combat.

As a member of the Ninth Army Division; Vandalia spends most of her time within the borders of the United Federation, moving from defensive base to defensive base rather than spending her time on the fringes and front lines the way that other divisions do. While the Ninth are arguably the most experienced defensive legion; they lack a direct specialty and have a wide skill spread, which in turn keeps them limited to just their defensive role. One of the reasons that has prevented Vandalia from being promoted or transferred to another division is her rage, as she has a tendency to be driven into blind rages and tantrums on occasion. These blind rages are often highly destructive, and a trait she has to be careful with.

Vehicles
While incredibly slow; the Tyrant Industrial Technologies TV4 Hydra Assault Vehicle has good reason to be. With a top speed of only thirty-five kilometers per hour, the gigantic tracked vehicle is a self-propelled artillery piece and tank destroyer rolled into a one-hundred-and-ten tonne frame that is typically employed as a relatively mobile fire base defending the United Federation's borders. This superheavy tank is primarily armed with a pair of 100mm autocannons fitted with a mixture of cluster and solid slug rounds capable of punching holes into anything Eggman or any other hostile faction is capable of throwing at it, with the cluster shells doubling as highly effective anti-air or anti-infantry flak bursts, though the slower reload time is a downside.

However, once established into the desired position, the entire tank fixes itself to the ground and unfolds a new primary weapon, a heavy duty 280mm artillery cannon; while the on-board technicians and medics present themselves to assist allies at this newly prepared firebase. This long-range cannon is capable of hitting targets as far as twenty kilometers away, though the accuracy leaves something to be desired at that range.
