Empress battle tank

Description

Bit of a random idea out of nowhere, an asari heavy tank.  Yes asari huntresses are an army of ninja and so on, but that doesn't mean they've never made a tank - they built Destiny Ascension after all, clearly asari understand that sometimes you just need to have the biggest damn hammer on the battlefield.  That said, they wouldn't be common; the backstory for the Empress is that a bunch of asari engineers got together, looked at the turians' meanest tank, and thought wouldn't it be brilliant if we had an asari version of those, built it, and discovered that yes it's brilliant, but the Republics only really want a half dozen or so for special circumstances, not whole waves of the things.

As soon as I started googling 'futuristic tank' Tron turned up, and I love Tron, so that was easy.  Ideally I would've liked a few less glowing lines all over the tank (let's assume they're radiators for the insane heat the tracks' engines produce, and can be shut off for stealth), but the hull is so smooth that getting rid of them - and the glow that spreads from them over the 'metal' - would've been a lot more trouble than I wanted to go to for a little half-hour 'make something up' diversion.  Playing with the hue sliders got rid of the Tron colour at least, and I tinted the main panel of the tracks slightly purple compared to the rest of it, to echo the hull colouring on asari ships.  The background is Feros - the Mako is just off frame to the right - because the camera angle fit for the tank to be sitting on the road without looking too weird.
