→Tauros Venator
===Tauros Venator===
The '''Tauros Venator''' is a further modified version of the Tauros, the principle change being the replacement of the standard weapon mount with a [[twin-linked]] set of heavier weaponry such as [[Multi-LasersLaser]]s. The increased energy/munition reserves required for this weapon means the rear of the vehicle has to be extended and an extra pair of wheels installed to maintain vehicle stability. These modifications prevent the Tauros Venator from being airlifted by a standard Valkyrie, they are thus carried into combat by Sky Talon Valkyries, which are equipped to deal with heavy loads.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}
The heavy weapons and high maneuverability of the Venator variant make it a favoured vehicle employed by the Elysians, who are often left without the heavy support needed to take on enemy armour after a grav-chute into enemy territory. They are also used in long-range scouting missions, as well as behind enemy lines where they are capable of operating for extended periods without resupply thanks to their galvanic systems.{{Fn|2}}
