Trucker

Major General of the Iron Trucker is a tank commander of the Cry Little Sister for the V Corps (Old Metal), and one of the greatest tankers in the Terran Confederacy.

Description
Trucker is the commanding Officer of the 3rd Armor Division and commander of the Cry Little Sister. Trucker is large and burly even for a human, closer to a Warborg in size, and has had over 50% of his body replaced by cybernetics. He has close cropped black hair, cybernetic eyes of black warsteel, a black warsteel implant over his left ear on his left temple.

History
An interesting note in his file was that he had tried out for BOLO commander, applied to be a member of the Dinochrome Brigade.

The results of that were simply listed: INCOMPATIBILITY, with no other records to be found anywhere in Space Force records.

Trucker is known for being able to hold the entire battlefield in his mind, anticipating enemy actions up to minutes ahead. His mental image of the battlefield is usually so much ahead of and more detailed than the Battle Tactical Net that the controlling VI and AI's use Trucker as error checking on their own work and trust Trucker's instincts.

As a young tanker, Trucker had gone to kick the autoloader loose and had it slam shut on his foot, severing it, during gunnery practice. He had also once driven his tank into a river one night by mistake.

Another legendary point involving Trucker is the fact that he lost one battle, being forced to retreat against overwhelming enemy odds as the enemy threw wave after wave of planes, troops, and armored vehicles at 3AD until Trucker had to order 3AD to perform a tactical withdraw to reload and reorganize. However, the damage done to the enemy forces was so bad the enemy government sued for peace before Trucker and 3AD could finish rearming and cooling down.

There has been multiple times that just Trucker and 3AD landing has caused the enemy governments to immediately surrender.

Trucker was born on Luna, at Tycho Station. A large human even at a young age, Trucker studied mechanics in school, graduating and joining the Terran Space Force Army as a tanker. He went to Officer Candidate School at the prestigious Warsaw Polak Academy.

His tank Cry Little Sister is extremely venerated by the Telkan people in their oral and written history.
