The Terrapin combines long-range scanners, heavy armour and oversized shields: according to Anvil, the ultimate combat scout, ready for the most hazardous situations.

📜 Its history

Developed in 2796 at an Anvil plant in Nova Kyiv, on Terra, by designer J. Harris Arnold and engineer Allegra Wilsing, the Terrapin was the first ship of the Navy’s defensive restructuring, and the first Anvil built under direct naval contract.
