The H5 Oliphaunt is a third generation Gaellician-Seylosian main battle tank designed and produced as a private venture by MacNamera Heavy Industries. The name Oliphaunt is a nod to the preceding H1 Elephant I and H3 Elephant II tanks, a creature from Geltic mythology, as well as a tribute to Aexamenid history.
