Tier: Advanced

Weaponry:

1x Heavy Beam Machine Gun with underslung grenade launcher (Jesta Cannon Inspired) - Jesta Cannon's gun with just a modification of the extra expansion parts. The modified parts include an improvement of the aiming device fixed on the top of the barrel for increased accuracy and a magazine fed grenade launcher below the barrel which houses 5 grenades per magazine. Besides the normal firing mode, it also has a beam machine gun-like rapid fire mode and its own power generator that omits the use of E-packs but does need a cool down time for recharge for the gun to fire again (every 60 rounds, 1 turn to recharge).

1 6x Missile Pod (Back Mounted) - A missile pod capable of launching 6 anti-MS guided/homing missiles.

16x missile (4x missiles on the knees and 4x on either side of the chest) - Small missiles have been equipped instead of the planned grenades (Like the Jesta and Jegan) to add destructive firepower. The missiles, in addition to the main thruster, has four sub thrusters and is possible to be fired off individually or in a very dense barrage format.

1x gatling gun (attached on the right arm) - can fire armor piercing munitions at an extremely high speed. Effective at Medium and Close range combat.

2x head mounted vulcan guns - generally used for mid-range and close combat defense. It has low firepower but is extremely effective at restraining enemy machines, and can destroy the camera, sensors and joints of enemy MS at very close range, they are useful for intercepting incoming missiles/rockets and attacking lightly-armored vehicles as well.

1x Combat Knife (could be attached on the beam machine gun (Side) as a bayonet, hidden/stored inside the leg armor) - could easily penetrate known MS armor but generally only effective if used on critical areas such as joints, head/main camera or the cockpit itself.

1x beam saber (stored on the back waist area just above the gun storage/mount) - Standard Beam Saber with the modification of it to be compatible with the Black Knight and the sword could be emitted on either side of the handle as the user wishes. (but not at the same time.)

Equipment:

Visor

2x dummy launcher (installed inside the shoulders) - MS Sized and shaped balloon dummies that launch chaff and smoke upon destruction.

Hardpoints - 6

Appearance: The Black Knight has an appearance close to Jesta Cannon's, its whole body close to such MS's particular design though with the application of hard points and thruster and core vents of the Heavy Gundam and F90 series, although most of its "purge system" is a close cousin of the Jesta and Stark Jegan respectively, giving the MS a bulky and clumsy appearance which contradicts the performance of the machine which is due to the application of some data and systems of the F90 series where small thrusters are placed on many important parts of the MS to help on the MS speed and Maneuver in and out of combat though this could only be noticed with the "Purge" of the Armor Pack. The head of the MS is seemingly the original part of the Machine. (The head is basically just the Command Qan[T] head with a visor applied)

History: The Black Knight is a machine that was given to Aeliose Black, as a form of reward and acknowledgement to his actions at Alpha Centauri. The suit is seemingly bulky and tries to perform on multiple roles given its "customizable loadout". It focuses mainly on high power and heavy armor but is nimble and agile enough to still be an effective close combat MS if need be.
