	Ambulon is navigated via a huge and very complicated control centre, powered by arcane engines of incredibly occult design, in the area corresponding to its 'head'. The Guild Peripatetica, highly superstitious engineers who keep the secrets of how to control the citadel-mechanicus, are constantly scrambling about the intricate controls making tiny adjustments to keep the edifice moving. Unlike normal Hive Cities, the spires on Ambulon's 'spine' is much shorter than usual. This is to prevent putting much structural stress on the spires as the ship walks and waddles from side-to-side.

	Ambulon stalks the wastelands of Scintilla, mining and harvesting the planet's natural resources, supplying the manufactoria of Hive Sibellus and the foundries of Gunmetal City. Neither could function without Ambulon's natural resources. Ambulon tours the steppe wastes once every twenty-eight standard months, slowing to minute speeds in order to dock with Sibellus and Gunmetal City for a few days to offload ore and mineral resources. Between these celebrated ceremonial times of docking, Ambulon supplies Sibellus and Gunmetal City by way of regular land trains: ore-cargo crawler pods many kilometres long.

	The much-famed ships of [[Zayth]] are gargantuan crawling Hive Cities on treads (pretty much mortal engines in space), with some ranging from the size of space Cruisers while others (if we take descriptions of the size of some Hive Cities at face value) are big enough to act as docks to full-size battleships. The Landships are armed with powerful city-leveling [[Macrocannon]]s originating from the Dark Age of Technology, virulent bio-agents ([[Exterminatus\|Virus Bombs?]]), Conversion Beam batteries, and squadrons of missile-laden dust gliders. Zayth forgot why it fights, but it somehow maintained the weapons it fights with intact for literally thousands of years of constant use. Good job?

	Each Land Ship is unique, like nations who presumably built them, they preserved (in part) the different cultures and civilizations which effectively haven't existed on Zayth since the [[Age of Strife]]. Within these city-sized vehicles exists a rigid caste system, similar to that of the Tau. Presumably, this is due to the military or corporate hierarchies, which must have existed for the original crew of the Land Ships, being necessary to keep things ship-shape (heh). The main leaders charged with helming these behemoths are called "Elder-Tacticians", who are essentially Magos' gone tribal. The technology within these obese vessels is a gold mine of [[STC\|STC's,]] as the technology of Zayth has intact for multiple millennia. That is, assuming it hasn't been replaced with a functional (or sufficiently functional) equivalent or "repaired" into unrecognizable oblivion. This has made the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] a common annoyance for the literal war machines of Zayth, as they tend to love poking things they know absolutely nothing about.

	Really, though, the strangest thing about this world is that the Mechanicus hasn't gone ape about the destruction of the landships and just taken them all with stupendously overwhelming force. On the bright side, they probably don't abuse the people on the other side they capture or raid simply because they have no strong feelings attached to the war. It's just...what they do and that's basically it.
