Guardian-class mecha

**Guardian-class mecha** is a classification of mecha designed for peacekeeping, but due to their towering size and sheer power, they are also suited for heavy combat. It is uniquely piloted by two nevian operators who need to link their minds to control the massive machines with near perfect efficiency.

## Overview

As a perfect alternative to nuclear weaponry, Guardian mechas were designed to generate as much kinetic energy as tactical ordnance. They were built to match the estimated scale of any gigantic threat, such as alien monsters, and minimize damage created by conventional weapons. As such, most Guardians are forbidden from being fitted with similar weaponry and rely on close range weaponry or the fists to pulverise any threat.

A Guardian-class mecha is controlled by two, or rarely, three, pilots stationed inside the Fore-Pod, which is the head of the humanoid shaped robot. Before operating a Guardian, the pilots must first wear a Foresuit, a special kind of suit that protects them from injuries sustained during any kind of heavy operation and allows them to simultaneously interface with the machine.

They must also undergo a Drift, a mental process in which the pilots share their memories, instinct and emotions with each other to act as one consciousness and synchronize their movements to control the Guardian mecha. Each pilot control's one hemisphere of the mecha, with the pilot controlling the right side of the mecha being considered the dominant pilot.

In order to prevent damage to major cities, Guardians are often deployed from their respective Steeldomes into the neighboring harbors or oceans of cities that hug the coastlines of any oceanic rims.
