Combat Mech
Dreadnought Tartarus also lets the player launch a combat mech directly from the TARTARUS's hangar bay. The mech is the game's ground-scale answer for encounters that do not warrant the battleship's full attention.
When to Use It
For smaller-scale confrontations, the mech is both a more appropriate tool and a less wasteful one. The TARTARUS's main guns are overkill for a squad-level target, but they also risk collateral damage benkimchi has specifically framed as undesirable. Sending down the mech is the tactical alternative.
