Northern Faction CV
Imperial CV

The Command Vehicle is the unit used by the Commander to lead the team. Whoever enters the Command Vehicle assumes the rule of Commander. Press F2 while in the command vehicle to enter RTS mode. Destruction of the Command Vehicle results in a loss for the team whose CV is destroyed. For this reason, it is important to keep it protected and under watch at all times.

Warning  Warning: The Command Vehicle is not to be used in combat. New players would be recommended to stay away from it until they have a complete grasp of how the game works. Hijacking this vehicle with no intention of becoming commander is highly frowned upon.
