The Type 155 is the main battle tank of the Tyreian Armed Forces, a direct descendant of the Type 140, it's an improvement upon the original and is used in all areas of the Tyreian Military. The Type 155 is an incredibly large tank, and can take quite a few hits before being destroyed, with it's advanced armor plating and multiple defensive systems it can survive against most things. It has the largest main gun in any of the modern Tyreian tanks.

It's armament consists of a grade 11 155mm caliber autoloading main gun and two Grade-7 machine gun on the turret, and a auto-loading 35mm cannon for anti-air defense.

The Type 155 has two variations, the main type is the basic Grade 11 model which is armed with the aforementioned weapons and is the mainstay of the Tyreian Army, and fires Grefuse Grade 11 shells.

The other is the Grade 9 model, this variant was designed for the Tyreian Air Force as an anti-tank platform, but due to the Tyreian Army's interest the design was bought out. It is armed with an extremely powerful 90mm Grefuse Grade-9 cannon with a 30mm auto-loading machine gun on the side, and has a much smaller profile and is more aerodynamic and faster than the Grade 11, although at the cost of firepower. It also has a 20mm Gatling gun for Anti-Air defense.

This version is very popular amongst the Tyreian Military, and is seen almost everywhere due to it's faster speed (81kmph compared to the 70kmph of the Grade-11) and smaller size.
