Vangis Executioner

### Weapon(s)

Knuckle Dusters, Arm-Mounted Flamethrowers, Shoulder Missiles, Arm-Mounted Grappling Hooks, Hammer

### Kaiju Killed

4

A powerful Russian Mark-3 Jaeger, **Vangis Executioner** managed to make four confirmed Kaiju kills before being destroyed during the **Triple Event**. Vangis Executioner would only ever see five deployments in its career due to damages inflicted on the Jaeger during combat. Thus it would undergo long periods of repairs before being deployed again.

## History

### Development

Vangis Executioner was one of the last Mark-3 Jaegers to be made. It was built to be a close ranged brawler akin to that of Cherno Alpha. However this Jaeger was much more slim and was equipped with spiked armour plating that would hopefully injure Kaiju upon impact.

### Initial Launch

The Jaeger was launched on December 8, 2017. It was quickly assigned to the Vladivostok Shatterdome where Trace Novachez and Nadette Bravikov would become the Pilots of Vangis Executioner.

### Combat History

#### Physeter Engagement

On January 4, 2018. The PPDC would pick up a signature of a Kaiju rising from the Breach. A Category III Kaiju codenamed **Physeter** was moving towards Japan. A pair of Jaegers were deployed to try and intercept the Kaiju before it could make landfall. Despite both Vangis Executioner and **Tacit Icon** being deployed against a single Category III Kaiju, both Jaegers struggled immensely as the beast made landfall. Tacit Icon initiated the attack, closing the gap on the Kaiju. However the Jaeger was quickly knocked away by the beast as it slammed its head into the hull of the Jaeger. Vangis would quickly back up their comrades, staggering the Kaiju with a quick succession of blows before resorting to their flamethrowers.

The flamethrowers seemed to have little effect on the Kaiju due to its thick blubber-like hide, this caused the massive Kaiju to lurch forwards as it opened its massive maw in an attempt to engulf Vangis. Fortunately, this worked in the Jaeger's favour as Vangis quickly fired a barrage of missiles into the Kaiju's gaping jaws.

This caused Physeter to flinch backwards in pain, allowing Tacit Icon enough time to recover and continue the attack. Together they both managed to weaken and attack the Kaiju's weak points... eventually killing it as Vangis cooked it from the inside using their flamethrowers.

#### Rockhead Engagement

On September 12, 2018. Vangis Executioner would be deployed for a second time against a massive Category III known as Rockhead. The beast had made landfall somewhere in North Korea. The Kaiju was already making its way inland when Vangis finally intercepted it, striking the beast with a right hook before firing a barrage of missiles towards the beast. This caused Rockhead to flinch back before trying to retaliate, swinging its claws at the machine and only barely missing as Vangis weaved out of the way. Vangis then followed up by throwing a left hook and then an uppercut using the Knuckle Dusters equipped on their Jaeger to inflict some serious blows. As Rockhead staggered back, its veins pulsed with vibrant blue blood as it became enraged, charging towards the Jaeger and knocking it down.

Vangis was sent reeling backwards, but was able to recover quickly. The Jaeger used their power move against the charging Kaiju, powering up their punch to deliver a head on 'Wicked Blow'. The power and force of the attack not only blew the Kaiju's skull apart, but also sent the Jaeger flying backwards and utterly destroying its arm.
