The Atlas Platform was a mobile missile platform developed by Anvil Aerospace for the United Empire of Earth (UEE) military. First introduced in 2808 as the first in a potential line of anti-air and anti-space vehicles to be used in ground-based engagements. Its sturdy frame and adaptable chassis proved successful in combat, and Anvil accepted a long-term contract with the UEE to develop military vehicles. After it was retired in 2821, the frame of the Atlas was used as the basis for the Ballista missile platform in 2822, and again for the Spartan armored personnel carrier in 2951.
