The Brahmin and Pride-Killer Cobras
The Brahmin Project
The Brahmin Cobra project dates to 1916 but it was not until the 1930’s that workable designs were finalized. Originally designed as a heavy C3 gear, the Brahmin originally mounted a heavy snub cannon and significant communications gear. Prototyping was still in process during the Inter Polar War but the data provided allowed Territorial Arms to develop a more fearsome machine. The most direct results of this data were the splitting of the Brahmin C3 suite from the base weapons loadout. The Brahmin’s communications gear was adapted as an addon for existing Cobras. Issues around the back mounted rockets delayed its deployment but by the late 1940s the Brahmin upgrade was available in limited numbers. The original weapon loadout proved very popular in the field and requests came in for Brahmins that would go on to fill assault roles instead of command and control roles. Territorial Arms took the loadout and created the Pride-Killer Cobra, a direct challenge and insult to the CNCS and its seeming obsession with snub cannons.
