The Unanimity Ground Forces, acronym being the AUGF and colloquially known as the Unanimity Army, are the main non-naval fighting force of the Artificia. While most recognisable by their R1 AU Power Armour, the AUGF is known for making extensive use of ICDs, or Infantry Combat Drones.

ARTIFICIA UNANIMITY U2B MBTAfter settling in the Arades Rift and later arriving in Ancerious, next to the armoured vehicles of other factions encountered the Unanimity realised the old U2a MBT was both horribly outdated and poorly designed in comparison, a side effect of the arrogant laziness of their creators, whom designed the tank. So, keeping more modern vehicles in mind Unanimity engineers immediately begun designing a new vehicle to replace the creaking old U2a. The U2b was the result. The vehicle has an improved cold fusion reactor, allowing for both a greater power-to-weight ratio and a more powerful main gun, itself a reinforced version of the U2a's. The vehicle has a lower profile, better protected track sections, improved armour plating--still prioritising defense against kinetic impacts with reactant plates and shock absorbent layering underneath, but now with an external coating that disperses heat across its surface to better guard against energy weapons fire. The ADS system adapted into the R3 AUPA has likewise been integrated into the U2b, only on a more powerful scale. The pintle gun is now remotely controlled from inside the tank though it possesses manual overrides. The AU also developed a proper ERA type plating to further armour their vehicles, though if speed is required this is not always mounted.

ARTIFICIA UNANIMITY U1B LIGHT TANKThe U1b was developed not long after the U2b, as an intended replacement for the U1a. While the U1a was a functional tank that had less flaws than the U2a or U3a, it was still of sub-par design. The U1b is visually similar to the U2b, and to a lesser extent the UF2a, but is notably smaller and faster. The U1b has a completely redesigned chassis and internal layout, and the hard-hitting but slow-charging ion cannon employed by the U1a has been replaced by a 50mm autocannon with a coaxial 20mm, the pintle mount being the standard .60 gyrojet AP rotary cannon.

ARTIFICIA UNANIMITY U3B HEAVY TANKWhen the Unanimity settled in the Arades Rift, they were still using the horribly outdated U3a as their heavy tank. While a heavily armoured machine with a gun to match, at the end of the day the U3a was a poorly designed vehicle, relying on armour to make up for its bad design, which in turn made it far too heavy to effectively cross softer, rough terrain. The U3b was created in an effort to remedy this. While still heavily armoured, the U3b was not an obscenely heavy vehicle, and possessed much greater offroad capacity. The heavy duty ion cannon the U3a employed has been replaced by a high-yield trans-gamma laser, capable of reducing enemy vehicles to slag and incinerating infantry positions, and at times can operate as an impromptu AA gun if required. It possesses a coaxial 35mm autocannon and, in the armoured cupola, a secondary 25mm one. Multi-purpose launchers, usually smoke, are mounted both on the sides of the turret and the body, and it possesses more PD nodes than smaller Unanimity vehicles. In all, the U3b is a superior design to the U3a, and one the Unanimity intends to quickly replace the older vehicle with.

ARTIFICIA UNANIMITY UF2A FUSION FUSILIERThe UF2a tank was developed soon after the U2b to make a heavier duty MBT built for close quarters armoured combat, and as such is entirely different from the U2b chassis and design. The UF2a's main gun is also a new technology developed by the Unanimity, a plasma-based fusion cannon. The gun fires a mass of mid-fusion plasma down the barrel, creating a weapon capable of devastation within its range. In an effort to somewhat mitigate the limited range of fusion weapons, the UF2a employs a barrel system originally intended for a heavy sniper tank or model of SPG, designed for maximum muzzle velocity and power. This necessitates the use of a heavy-duty induction coil powering and cooling system, and grants the UF2a a comparatively decent range for the weapon it packs. While poor to useless in longer ranged combat, in the close quarters typically associated with urban combat and other close range scenarios, the UF2a can be devastating. Other integrated technologies include a reworked Impact Armour designed to better absorb energy weapons fire, anti-munition nodes based off Axiom technology secured during The Lost Army, and a 20mm co-axial autocannon as well as a .60 pintle-mounted rotary machine gun.
