Seen above are a variety of vehicles sporting the innovated ball tread system utilised by many pre civil war Zuukid vehicles. Best exemplified on the exposed treads on the Vartini scout tank, they are magnetically held spheres that can be made to rotate in any direction, allowing for unprecedented maneuverability. Ball tread tanks are capable of moving freely in any direction like a hover tank tanks, but don't suffer from the same extreme energy requirements, lack of traction or issues with recoil that floating vehicles do. Despite these advantages the ball-treads take considerably more maintenance than traditional treads, maintenance time that most would prefer to spend on the even costlier mechs, and as such most modern armies using these will mix them in with regular caterpillar threaded variants to bulk up their force count.

Vartini: a small lightly armored tank that relies almost entirely on the superior maneuverability its ball treads give it to stay alive, weaving deftly through narrow streets or uneven countryside. Its primary armament is a turret mounted laser blaster used mainly either to harass targets of opportunity or to see of pursuers as it gathers intel.

Vopundre: one of the oldest models, it's more or less a traditional tank with its tracks replaced with ball-treads. Despite this it stayed in production throughout the crusades due to being a reliable workhorse, well armored, powerful main gauss gun, and highly maneuverable, and still sees alt of service in the civil war thanks to the ease of reattaching caterpillar tracks, resulting in some odd looking repair jobs with tanks sporting a track on one side and ball-treads on the other.

Orgivaia A and B: designed alongside each other by two competing design philosophies the empire ended up taking both on thanks to them being able to fill two roles by stapling a different turret on the same base. The A variant acts as a smaller, faster, Vopundre that can duel with other tanks, while the B variant has two twin linked Laser blasters used to combat masses of  infantry and light vehicles and is considered the perfect tank for city fighting.

Bakago APC: a large box used to ferry infantry around, the quad barreled turret sat on top of the vehicle is what really makes it stand out. By loading a variety of gauss munitions the Bakago can provide fire support for its passengers against almost any target, providing artillery strikes, suppressive fire, AA cover or anti tank capabilities. Each baral is loaded with a different payload, and when a target is sighted the unsuitable munitions are swapped out while the barrel holding the correct response lets of the first shot of the engagement.

Carall APC: while smaller than the Bakago and armed with inflexible laser blasters the Carall has one major advantage, that being its powerful shield generators that let it bring troops to a location more safely and can also be used to set up an large bubble shield to protect them once combat begins.
