The DX20 was the first commercial vehicle from Tumbril Land Systems, released in 2536.[1]
It failed to make much of an impact on its initial release. Kavya and Aaron were disappointed but undeterred, convinced that Tumbril only needed time to find its market.[1]
Their instinct would be right, but what catapulted the company into the mainstream was most unexpected. In 2541, war erupted shortly after Humanity encountered the Tevarin. Faced with their first inter-species conflict, the UPE suddenly realized they lacked the proper vehicles for ground-based operations, and the military scrambled to find a solution. Ground vehicles from all current manufacturers were put through rigorous field tests. The results weren’t even close.[1]
Tumbril’s DX20 was so well designed that they were combat ready with only minor modifications. Tumbril landed a massive military contract, and quickly scaled their operation to meet the demand. They were even asked to create new designs for the war effort. It wasn’t long before Tumbril tanks began to roll off production lines.[1]
The First Tevarin War elevated Tumbril into a trusted and beloved brand. Soldiers raved about the DX20 and this reputation led to skyrocketing civilian sales following the war. Once again, the company continued to expand to meet demand. Decades of sustained growth turned Tumbril into the preeminent producer of ground vehicles for both the public and private sectors.[1]
