The Colonarius mk2 is the current main battle tank used by the United Kingdom. It's one of the most sophisticated and thus expensive tanks used in Urth. The Colonarius mk2 is currently in the process of almost completely replacing the previously used tank, the Colonarius mk1. However, the Colonarius mk1 is still used by the wartime reserves of the Royal Armed Forces of the Empire.
