Only one Annihilator has ever been sighted. Like the Nighthammer, it seems to be the product of some alien race. Looking like a battleship on tracks, it stands over a hundred feet high and is nearly 500 feet long. Its sides bristle with enormous guns, and anti-personnel turrets cluster along its sides like barnacles on a ship's bottom. It's top is so broad that helecopters can land on it, and its interior is so capacious that an entire Kohort can be transported in it. It crawls forward on gigantic tracks, crushing everything in its way. Its armor is so thick that virtually everything seems to bounce off its sides.

During Saladin's first incursion on Mars, it was stopped only when a suicidal squad of Free Marines succeeded in placing Destructor charges in its tracks. Even then, all this did was bring the Annihlator to a grinding halt. Now, the Annihilator sits a mere five miles away from the McCraig Line on Mars, exchanging shots with Capitol's border forts. It is used as a fortress by the Legion, and every now and again, teams of Tekrons emerge to attemp field repairs. Capitol's troops have orders to prevent this at all costs. Should the Annihilator ever start to move again, things will look grim for the bold defenders of the McCraig Line.
