No one can ascertain the current Earth year (or if there is still Earth at all), so we start the count from Vostorg-7 year 0. This year marked the arrival of a joint Russian-Chinese colonization probe on Vostorg-7, a probe dispatched a very long time ago - in the early 21st century of Earth. After a long interstellar odyssey, it finally reached the unforgiving yet potentially habitable planet. The initial dreams of forging a unified spaceborne human nation were soon abandoned, as differing visions for utopian societies took root. Instead, seven independent human colonies emerged from the cosmic dust. While most of these colonies succumbed to rapid deterioration, with their inhabitants mutating into otherworldly beings or descending into feral lifestyles amidst Vostorg-7's unforgiving terrain, two colonies stood out as bastions of Man’s determination - the Derzhava and the Planet Cult.

Let the fate be merciful to those believing tanks to be outdated!
Development began during the last years of the Soviet Union, the Bastion project was long forgotten during the economic demise of independent Ukraine and underfunded Kharkov design bureau's vault.
The new strong autocratic government seeks to bring whatever heavy assets where in the reach, and so the Bastion development gained a new momentum.
Armed with double naval guns and a miniature safe (at least - almost) nuclear engine, Bastion is more than just a bigger tank. The surplus energy of the nuclear engine can be directed on its energy field, making the tank totally invincible for some seconds.
Reviving the concept of the "assault tank", Bastion can breakthrough whatever the heavy defenses are and destroy sensible command & control structures, power plants and irradiate the environment if being destroyed afterwards.
