Description

Answer was born from the strategic collaboration of Nicholas Ray and Nadia Raytheon, and a single question; What happens when you are challenged to a fight? You answer. Ray and Raytheon, who joined forces with Lisbeth Seere after the completion of the other retired ZUBR class ship retrofitting. With Ares' funding backing their vision, the duo of Ray and Raytheon brought a fresh approach to Verdict Day's operations, focusing on crafting a landship capable of faster, more agile responses in volatile regions. Their expertise, combined with Seere's insight from Challenge's design, led to the creation of a formidable platform that married versatility with heavy-duty resilience.

Stationed in Southeast Europe and extending into the Middle East, Answer became the spearhead for Verdict Day’s operations in these regions. Its emphasis on speed and mobility was a direct response to the complex, shifting political and environmental landscapes of the area, ensuring that Verdict Day could provide aid—or intervention—wherever needed, even in the most unpredictable circumstances. Nicholas Ray’s mechanical brilliance and Nadia Raytheon’s focus on engineering durability and efficiency made Answer a unique counterpart to Challenge, with a design that allowed Verdict Day to extend their reach deeper into areas of crisis.

And of course, Answer, the second landship designed in parallel to Challenge, showcases a refined and tactical design influenced by Ares' funding and the strategic insights of Verdict Day's leadership...
