The Drake Tank^[1] is a battle tank that was designed by Amanda Holliday and used by Guardian forces during the Red War. It seats only one occupant, the driver. The Drake is armed with a powerful main cannon and rocket launchers with both dumbfire and targeting modes. With its firepower and armor, the Drake can go toe-to-toe with even the Goliath Tank of the Red Legion. Designed to be bi-directional, the Drake's side armor, headlights, and taillights automatically reconfigure depending on the direction the turret is facing.

Following the end of the Red War, the Drake Tank was commissioned into further service by the Vanguard. The Tanks were notably deployed again during the Vanguard's return to the Moon.

Trivia

It's possible, that the tank is a modified variant of the almost identical vehicles found on Titan.
- Extracted assets show that the Drake is roughly 1.25x the size of the maintenance tanks found on Titan and Europa. While it most likely is not a modified version of them, the design similarities do indicate that they may have served as the core design source.
The Tribute Hall has a Drake Tribute that is unlocked by earning points by meeting the minimum score threshold in Nightfalls using Calus-themed armor and weapons earned from the Menagerie or any Leviathan raid.
Drakes are also used during the Scourge of the Past raid.
