The LS0/MESS-S1aF2/NU-003 Harbinger Legacy (also known as the MASTERSTRIKE Harbinger) is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel. It is piloted by Alexander Baltimore.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Being the projected final form of the Harbinger, the Legacy was designed for long-term combat in all-range situations. Using the armor parts of the Hammerhead's LANDSTRIKE ZERO, the Perfect Harbinger was basically a mobile fortress that used heavy guns and explosive launchers to overwhelm multiple opponents. Paired with the skills of Alex and his NU METACOM System, the Harbinger Legacy has no trouble multitasking, sometimes even better than the Heavyguns of the past. A pair of sub-arms help with reloading and aiming the different weapons at the unit's disposal.

## Armaments

### MASTERSTRIKE

- Chest-Mounted 100mm Single-Barrel HPNC: The same 100mm Single-Barrel HPNCs used by the Hammerhead, they are mounted in the chest and discharged in a similar fashion. With a five round internal magazine, they can be fired multiple times as a devastating mid to close-range weapon.

- Compact 60mm Side Shoulder-Mounted SAWMAC “Lance Rifle”: Stands for the [Strategic Assault Weapon] Modified Automatic Cannon.

- Forearm Wrist Rocket: Taken from the same ones seen on the Hammerhead. Typically firing up to four glass grenades in a single capacity (two loaded, two stored), they serve as medium-range backup weapons.

- 500mm Coiled Railgun: The same two railguns utilized by the Hammerhead. Currently known as being the highest-caliber ballistic weapon ever wielded by a Garrisai, it is held in a similar fashion to the 200mm Recoilless Artillery Gun and used for long-range heavy shelling attacks. When not in use, one or two of these can be mounted on the backpack via its simplistic sub-arms, which swing the cannon under the arm for the Legacy to wield. If needed, these weapons can be purged from the connecting arms.

- T-22 Transformable Destroyer Blade: Taken from the Vault of Storms, this exotic weapon allows for its blades to split into two separate sections, revealing an industrial "claw". Using a button mechanism mounted on the grip, the T-22 can use its split blade to disarm enemy weapons, bisect enemy opponents, or even close the claw to break the weapon of an enemy. After the defeat of the Lily Noir during the Lacerta Incident, this weapon--known at the time as the Blade of the Lily--was recovered by Marie Winhart and kept by the UNI.

### Harbinger Core

- Folding Heat Saber: This upgraded version of the Harbinger's iconic Folding Heat Blade is much larger in size, though it can still be used by one hand. Its size can allow for a larger attack range, though it is heavier and slower to swing. However, the Harbinger's advanced hydraulics allow for the weapon to be swung as fast as it could when the Harbinger used the Heat Blade. When not in use, it can be folded and mounted on the rear skirt armor.

- EC-10 Laser Rifle: This experimental rifle was developed by the Instinct Corporation, but would never really see much use as it was outmatched by the cheap prices of the weapons produced by Kestrel. However, one of these experimental rifles would be improvised off of the Blacklight’s EC-07 Laser Sniper, as well as old blueprints taken in by Neptune Base. It is semi-automatic, with a long-range scope and 18-round magazine. When not in use, it can be stored on the back.

- Anti-Armor Knife: A small knife that is used only at extreme close-range. They are capable of piercing armor in stabbing attacks, though slashing attacks are not advised. Two of these knives are stored in each of the Legacy's calf armors, and slide out from the armor when deployed.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Sub-Arms: mounted on the back of each of the shoulder armors, these sub-arms have been given extra armor to enhance their durability. While they can normally be used to pass and reload weapons for the MS-H, in the case of the main arms being severed, the sub arms can flip down and serve as replacements.

- HMT II Compensating Thruster Kit: A modified HMT Thruster Kit designed to provide enough thrust to stay mobile while carrying the Harbinger's heavy weapons.

- LANDSTRIKE ZERO System: The same LANDSTRIKE ZERO used by the Hammerhead and the Urban Dreadnought before it. Due to excessive damage, many of the armor plates have been replaced with more conventional layers of Nanolaminate armor, which still provide a substantial amount of defense.

## Trivia

- Alexander Baltimore using parts of the Hammerhead is the spiritual succession of his father's machine--the Urban Dreadnought. This is also after he realizes that he is the son of Cameron Baltimore himself.
