Engines

> *"Nobody watches an extended battle without an Engine appearing. Defenses too hard to break through? Engine. Sudden push back from a broken line? Engine. Enemy has their own Engine? ENGINE!"* - A Omnes Feud veteran, demonstrating the value of an Engine in combat.

**Engines** are an important element to The Far Reaches, acting as trump cards for each side of the war, be they Humanity sympathetic or Keskan sympathetic. Inspired by "Mecha" anime, and descended from existing heavy weaponry (Tanks, artillery, and so on), Engines are noted to be a triumph of mechanical engineering, not only because they are able to carry their own weight, but because they are capable of moving very fluidly. Robotics in real life have a sort of stiff movement, compared to an Engine's more fluid and human-like posture.

## Classes

### Humanoid

> *"How much anime have you watched? Hehehe, only joking, comrade. Humanoids are brawlers, have poor range, good for hitting one* *цель* (Target)*. Unless mixing with Forged Engine, then you have big 'IDI NAHUI' guns."* - NSU Veteran, Dvigatel Regiment, giving a very general overview of a Humanoid-Class Engine

### Forged

> "*Kamerad, if you vanted a tank, just join ze Panzer regiment. In all seriouzness, zhough, good choice. Ze Forged Engine is vone of ze earlier forms of mechanical engineering, and yet has still maintained importance in ze field. Ze stumpy frame means it has no need for melee. All you are going to use vizh zis tank of an Engine is ze biggest cannon zat money can buy!" -* Deutsche Raumstreitkräfte Veteran, Motor Division, giving an over view of a Forged-Class engine.

Often called the walking tanks of Engines, **Forged** are some of the stumpiest, slowest, and toughest

### Spider

> *"Let me tell you something about this hunk o' junk. When it was found out that simply using Humanoid and Forged Engines weren't enough to win the New Year's War, the techheads up there decided to hybridize. The mobility and speed of a Humanoid, with the armaments and stature of a Forged. What they ended up creating was the Spider: Four or more legs, two guns, at least one melee, and you have one of the greatest innovations brought out onto the frontlines." -* UCF Veteran, Engine Division, giving a brief history and overview of the Spider-Class Engine.

Many people are conflicted on whether the Spider-class is just a Clandestine or an actual class of it's own, considering it's origin. First deployed during the New Year's War by the Yadernoy fleet, Spider-class Engines proved to be reliable additions to different types of Engines. With the same amount of weaponry as a Forged-class, yet possessing similar mobility not unlike that of a Humanoid-class, Spider-classes have seen great use both on and off the battlefield, and are often used when transporting goods across heavily uneven terrain.

A notable Spider-class Engine is Aquila, set to be piloted by Rabotat Kesudenshi.

### Clandestine

> *"Lad, ye realize what yer spillin' out yer pie hole? Clandestine? Thass one o' the worst things ye can do to an Engine. You can't make a Humanoid-Spider, the top section would crush the legs because of it's weight, dammit! I will admit that some of these combinations are like a sip of whiskey for a recently grown up lad: Rough, Strong, and kicks like a mule. But there's only one combination, lad, so don't expect something crazy."* - QCR Veteran, Engine Force.

Clandestine Engines are widely considered to be a bad choice among Engine Pilots

## Leviathans

> *Main Article: Leviathans*

Extremely large Engines are considered too powerful to be classified as normal Engines, and are instead termed Leviathans. Leviathans are extremely slow and heavy, yet carry great force behind their movement. A blow from a Leviathan can be felt miles away, a single step can cover enough ground to cross a continent in a couple of week, and when a Leviathan drops from orbit, your DNA will cower in fear from the drop.

Leviathans require many resources to be developed, and are rarely used, if at all. The first and currently only known use of a Leviathan was during the Mitras Siege, where Humanity extinguished an entire civilization cowering behind powerful walls.
