The '''Land Raider''' (originally known as '''Land's Raider''') is a heavily armoured personnel carrier and occasional [[Heavy_Tank|heavy tank]] used primarily by the [[Space Marine]]s and [[Chaos Space Marine]]s, but also by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]]{{Fn|9b}}, [[Inquisition]]{{Fn|4a}}, and even especially influential [[Rogue Traders]].{{Fn|11a}}{{Fn|16}} It is capable of operating in virtually any kind of planetary environment. Its hull fully isolates its occupants from the environment and provides life support functions, allowing operation on inhospitable and airless planets from complete vacuum to ocean floors.{{Fn|11b}}
The Land Raider is designed to move at a good speed while still carrying heavy armaments as well as a number of warriors within its armoured hull. It is a [[Standard Template Construct]] vehicle, like many others in the armouries of [[Imperial]] forces and has been modified several times since its rediscovery. The standard modern pattern of Land Raider however is known as the '''Land Raider Phobos'''{{Fn|9a}} which provided with none the less standard '''M32 "Cyclops"''' class battle cogitator.{{Fn|11b}}
