## BACKGROUND

Both the male and female Zentraedi have different Power Armour's which cater to their individual styles. The Zentran's use the ***Nousjadel-Ger Power Armour***, a General Issue Powered Suit given to experienced mecha pilots. This particular mecha is more heavily armed and armoured than the Regult Battlepod, as well as being more maneuverable. It is also the only mecha in the Zentran armoury with full dexterity, and is used in situations where specialized mecha troops are required. Where the Regult and Glaug are mainline battle units, the Nousjadel-Ger is used in situations where more delicate work is required.

**NOTES:**

1. -4 Strike to head. Destroying the Head will knock out the mecha's major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal), radar and communications. The pilot will also be killed instantly.
2. Depleting the MDC of one of the arms or legs will destroy that body part on the pilot inside causing damage to the pilot and loss of that limb. Further hit point damage will occur until medical treatment is received.
3. Destroying one thruster will reduce the flight speed of the mecha in space by 50%. Destroying both thrusters will render the mecha immobile.
4. Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will destroy the Mecha, probably killing the pilot as well.

### STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE NOUSJADEL-Ger:

* **COMBAT COMPUTER:** The Nousjadel-Ger is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. The entire helmet of the Nousjadel-Ger is like a forward view screen which allows the computer to display large amounts of data to the pilot and even highlight enemies and missile attacks with overlaid graphics. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 10,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 250 targets simultaneously.
* **EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP:** Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
* **HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS:** Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
* **OPTICS: NIGHTVISION:** Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
* **OPTICS: INFRARED:** Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
* **OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER:** Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the=20 pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10%=20 bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
* **RADAR:** 200 mile (321 km) range.
* **RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION:** Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
* **SELF-DESTRUCT:** To prevent capture of the Nousjadel-Ger by the enemy, the pilot can activate self-destruct system, which will cause the Mecha to explode after a delay of up to 60 minutes (time is set by the pilot). The explosive damage is contained within a 20 foot (6 m) area and inflicts 1D6x10 M.D. to everything within the radius of the explosion. All internal systems are obliterated. The pilot will automatically be killed if still aboard.
