Overview:
The Cobra High Speed Sentry (H.I.S.S.) Tank has been the dominant tank used by Cobra forces
since the organization's inception. The H.I.S.S. has been upgraded and remodeled over time,
but all variants share a similar general design, featuring dorsal mounted cannons.
The HISS was developed to fulfill two separate needs on the battle field, anti-personnel and
heavy armor. The H.I.S.S. tank is the most versatile and deadly opposition on any
battlefield. Whether on city streets or through the dense jungle, the H.I.S.S. can outrun,
out-maneuver, and out perform anything in its class. Built with a modular design allowing
Cobra's technicians to easily replace and repair battle damaged units with maximum
efficiency. Although specialized drivers are selected to pilot most H.I.S.S. tanks, the
cockpit design is simple enough for almost any basic trooper to understand and operate.
The Mark-I GH7c is the iconic black H.I.S.S. Tank. It is fast, with a sleek profile, but it
is lightly armored, so it was more of an Armored Fighting Vehicle then a true Main Battle
Tank. The general in-expense and ease of maintenance makes this model a well-produced and
well-used combat platform within Cobra's ground force — even to this day.
