Jaeger

Jaegers are giant robots created by the Jaeger Program to defend humanity. The Jaegers were the most effective first and last line of defense against the Anteversal Kaiju (also referred to as breacher) during the Kaiju War as well as against other Kaiju already existing on Earth.

Jaegers were proposed by Dr. Jasper Schoenfield during the midst of the kaiju war after the bombing of Scissure, with Dr. Lars Gottlieb developing the jaegers after Schoenfield pitched his idea to the United Nations. This idea would later become the basis of what would lead to the Jaeger program.

## Creation

The Jaegers were created as an alternative to nuclear weaponry by the PPDC, a branch of the Defense Corps, to combat both kaiju from the Anteverse and kaiju on Earth, and to protect humanity (especially large populations within cities). Prior to this, humanity had constantly used nuclear weaponry against kaiju, but at great cost as the impact and fallout massively damaged cities.

Jasper Schoenfield came up with the idea of jaegers after studying past mecha blueprints across history. He pitched his idea to the United Nations and provided his blueprints ad designs, with the UN approving and Lars Gottleib aiding in the creation of the mecha. The production of jaegers then began in factories and warehouses across the world, and the first factory/warehouse creating jaegers opened in Pittsburgh, and thus the Jaeger program was established.

Jaegers were built and designed to generate mass amounts of kinetic energy for use in tactical ordinance to match the power and energy of Kaiju, usually to prevent damage caused by weapons used prior to their creation. Jaegers also rely on hand to hand combat and use weapons for close quarter fighting to prevent spreading the toxic blood of Anteversal kaiju. Jaegers are also equipped with heat-based weapons such as the Plasmacaster which can minimize or prevent the spread of Kaiju Blue by simultaneously cauterizing injuries and heavily wounding kaiju.

## Piloting

Jaegers are controlled by and require two (sometimes rarely three) pilots stationed in a conn pod. The pilots are connected via a neural bridge with an interface that allows for a mental link that makes the pilots act in tandem, as long as they both coordinate properly. Jaegers are deployed from Shatterdomes to harbors or shores near miracle miles to prevent the destruction of cities.

Previous jaeger models used analog and nuclear energy, but because of the risk that this caused the pilots, newer models were made with electromagnetic energy.

## Jaegers

Numerous Jaegers were constructed over the course of the Kaiju War. This includes rogue jaegers made by scrap hunters in jaeger scrapyards. Only seven nations manufactured Jaegers, donating some Jaegers to less economically successful countries. These countries are the United States, Canada, Mexico, Russia, China, Japan, and Korea.
