The Land Ironclad is the embodiment of human defiance in the Great Martian War. Its cannons are only rivaled by the great guns of the Navy's Dreadnoughts. Its armor only rivaled by the great fortresses of the Mississippi Line. Its impact in the hearts of those who witness it only rivaled by the impact of its fury on the Martian Tripods. It is the will of the American spirit given form.
