History
Kaxium V2
Prior to the Core War, the Kaxium V2 was a courier vehicle used by the Water Tribe.[1]
Kaxium V3
During the Core War, the Water Tribe added weaponry and light armor to a Kaxium V2 courier vehicle to create a scouting vehicle. It survived the war and ended up in the village of Tajun after the Shattering.[1]
Scodonius and Kirbraz, Agori of the Water Tribe, each piloted a part of the Kaxium V3 in arena matches. Kirbraz piloted the larger, primary car, and Scodonius drove the smaller cycle.
The two piloted the Kaxium V3 in a practice match against Crotesius on his Cendox V1. Speeding towards their opponent, the two attempted to surprise Crotesius by separating their bikes right before collision with his vehicle. However, Crotesius successfully knocked over the larger bike with a Thornax fired from his vehicle, sending Kirbraz flying and bringing an end to the match.[2]
The Kaxium V3 was used in the Battle of Roxtus and heavily damaged. Its Agori owners soon repaired it with help from Berix, who was admitted onto the team.[1]
Features
The Kaxium can separate into two functional vehicles. A Thornax Launcher is usually outfitted to the cycle to enhance the offensive and defensive capabilities. The Kaxium V3's Thornax Launcher is mounted on the secondary cycle, which some Agori, such as Scodonius, pilot.[1]
Both of the separated vehicles could be used in different Arena Matches and the full Kaxium cycle could also be piloted in a single match.
