Armeli Empire of Colonial Military Unions

## Summary

The Armeli Empire of Colonial Military Unions (also known as the AECMU or Armeli Empire) is an ironically labelled Democratic nation based on an island off the coast of the Santalis Core Order. It was founded by a small city of people on the island, which grew to the large nation that it was today. It became best known for its production of Ichor--an energy material that overpowered just about every conventional power source in the world.

## History

After the AECMU joining the mainland SCO itself, it served as the main distributor of Ichor, and continued to remain dominant in the economic market. When the Celestial Vanguard arrived in 2428, the Empire was the second nation to be hit by the incoming invasion. In response, a joint effort alongside the nation of Decholon (and its government) resulted in the Harbinger Project. Through its major contribution of Ichor to Decholon and the other nations of the SCO, humanity was able to repel the Vanguard's invasion and begin an area of peace. However, the discovery and distribution of a new energy source, Dechalus, caused the peace to end.

Many years later, internal disputes between the Empire's government and military branches began after a sudden invasion of the latter on Decholon in an effort to capture the nation's Dechalus refineries. These disputes eventually reached a boiling point in the Armeli revolution, which nearly collapsed the government upon the assassination of the Armeli Leader Vincent Barton. The revolutionary faction would split from the AECMU, invading Decholon for a second time under the name of the Mercury Legion. The AECMU itself would remain a shadow of its former self, and without standing government officials, plunged the Armeli society/economy into near anarchy. Repairs to the nation would eventually come in the form of the end of the Harbinger Uprising, where the reformed New Decholon Republic of Concord (Now the New Decholon Reformative Coalition) re-established the democratic government with their own leaders and military. While the AECMU itself had long since dissolved, the nation it once was used for began to make a recovery.

Frontier Point

- Castel Commander Type

Frontier Point is a Citadel located along the Cassiopeian and Polarian Border.

## History

### Interstellar Era

Serving as one of the smaller Citadels during the battle against the Celestial Vanguard, it would provide resources and temporary shelter to troops travelling to the front lines. However, its small size meant that it was better suited towards testing Prototype Units while the Core Citadels served as the primary form of troop management. Similar to the Silent Citadel and Fort Hummingbird (though these two were exclusively testing-related), its distance from the heat of combat, alongside the large desert plain it was surrounded by (hence the base's name), allowed for adequate testing space. It also allowed space for training exercises for passing troops. Most often, the Garrisai that required maintenance would be stored in one of the Citadel's four hangars, while the rest of the platoon's machines would be stored around the base.

### Uprising Era

The main headquarters for the Desperado Storm Remnants. During the Fall of the NDRC, the base served as one of the major fallback points for retreating NDRC and LCDM personnel, playing on the defensive for most of its operation. In the end, only a select number of Garrisai actually remained in its command despite its best efforts in Guerrilla Warfare against the likes of the Mercury Legion and UNI, whose Citadels surrounded the base on both sides. The members of the base would play a critical role in supporting the Neptune and Minerva Remnants during their joint-attack on Midnight Base, with the base itself serving as a staging point just like it had in the Interstellar Era.

## Trivia

- The Base's design was inspired from the Cassiopeia Shatterdome from the early stages of Harbinger 2584, and can be considered as its successor.

- Its name is derived from the American Frontier, which was the area of the US that is commonly associated with the "Wild West." This relates to the sandy deserts of Cassiopeia that Frontier Point is located in, notably at the border where the desert itself begins.
MESS-S1bB-006 atLAS

- 2x Swarmfire Missile Silos

- 2x Flanked 300mm Railguns

The MESS-S1bB-006 atLAS is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The AtLAS has a unique head-mounted cockpit that allows the pilot to rotate the upper torso of the mech 360°, making use of all of the weapons attached to the top. In order to operate all of these weapons with the utmost stability, the mech can covert into Sentry Mode. In this mode, the front and rear skirt armors, along with the legs, shift into a four pointed base, with the upper half of the body converting into a four-way combat turret.

## Armaments

### Sentry Mode

- Front: 30mm Vulcans: The atLAS fires its twin shoulder Vulcans which provide basic attacks or can be used for disruption.

- Sides: FLAK Cannons: The atLAS simultaneously fires its triple artillery guns and combat shotguns as a FLAK like shot.

- Rear: 300mm Railguns: The atLAS fires a barrage from its two Naval Cannons, capable of blasting right through an enemy unit’s armor.

- Top: Swarmfire Missile Launchers: The atLAS fires a salvo from its top mounted missile silos, which can completely envelop an enemy in a rainstorm of explosions.

## Special Equipment and Features

The Unit’s independently rotating (omnidirectional) cockpit allows the pilot to change their view from each of the many weapons systems atop the atLAS. While the pilot has their focus with one of the weapons, the others will automatically target any enemies in the surrounding area (via a basic threat detector AI), making the unit effective when surrounded. This also allows the pilot to face one direction consistently, rotating the torso to swap to a different weapon while the last used one reloads.

## History

Developed as the successor to the Artillery Heavygun Unit, the atLAS is designed to provide high firepower support at range. Instead of several options for handheld weapons, the atLAS was given several fixed weapons all around its upper torso. This top-heavy design played into the unit’s unique ability to transform from a bipedal combat walker into a stationary multidirectional turret.

## Trivia

- The weapons’ unique placement allow for effective targeting of airborne enemies, giving the atLAS the ability to operate as an anti-aircraft gun.

- The omnidirectional cockpit will only rotate independently of the torso when it is in Sentry Mode.

- The atLAS was a sort of standalone unit, as it was not involved in the development of the Dreadnought nor Domino IV.
ESU-S4x-023 Whisper II

- Hi-Sensitivity Targeting Visor

The ESU-S4x-023 Whisper II is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe. It is piloted by Magdalena Cassidy.

## Armaments

- KT-060 Carbine w. Suppressor: A modified 60mm Carbine that serves as the Whisper II's primary ranged weapon. Its semi-automatic armor-piercing receiver gives a skilled pilot just enough firepower to dispose of opponents at medium to long range. The suppressor further shields the Whisper from detection.

- Anti-Armor Stealth Blade: An updated and more simplistic version of the Whisper's Assassin's Retractable Dual-Blade Gauntlet. In replacing the two razor-sharp retracting blades with a single one (mounted on a rotating hardpoint), it reduces the overall bulk placed on the machine's right arm. When paired with the equipped Hi-Sensitivity Targeting Visor, the Whisper II can target enemy machines' joints and other vital areas for quick dispatching. While a heated variant was designed for use by the Whisper II, it was deemed compromising of the Unit's stealth capabilities.

- Anti-Armor Knife: Similar to the ones used by Harbinger Ground Types in the FCG, the Whisper II is equipped with a pair of small knives. Each is stored in a calf-mounted mechanism that extends them out from a hidden compartment, allowing for easy access and quick reaction. These were added to act as a backup weapon, should the Whisper II's primary weapons be compromised.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Stealth Drive MKII: Mapped throughout several hardpoints on the Whisper II's armor are sound-suppression nodes. These muffle all thruster and movement sounds made by the Whisper II when use, ensuring that motion/sound tracking devices cannot detect the machine.

- Cloaking Drive MKII: This upgraded version of the Stealth Drive from the original Whisper sports a stronger and longer lasting invisibility device compared to the original. While still retaining the distortion when moving, it makes the machine completely invisible when standing still. Unlike the original, the device consumes power independently from the Whisper II's Fusion Drive.

- Hi-Sensitivity Targeting Visor: This advanced version of the Assistive Targeting System has been equipped with not only a standard targeting interface, but also an additional long-range targeting interface. Unlike its standard counterpart, the long-range comes in the form of a slide-down visor that shifts over the eyes. This almost doubles the range at which the system can track targets.

- Utility Cloak: In the case of the Cloaking Drive being disabled, a large reflective "cape" can be draped over the Whisper II to cover the machine's profile. While not retaining any mechanical properties, it still provides a level of stealth in certain conditions. Depending on the area deployed, different shaded cloaks can be used.

## Trivia

- Lena stole the Whisper II far before the ideals of the UNI were brought about by Marie Winhart, both of who were teenagers at the time.
ACF-V1x Arcandy Compact Worker

- Insurgency Ground Type

- Solar Eclipse

- Sabre

- Alpha Predator

The ACF-V1x Arcandy Compact Worker is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Developed by Arcandy & Co., the Arcandy Compact Worker was designed as a general-purpose machine that solved every problem the Castel Ground Type had. Being based from the Arcandite Core, it was very energy efficient and was given the METACOM system and HMT Kit by default to increase its overall performance. While its armor and weapons were nothing special, it would be the inspiration for far more impressive equipment sets.

## Trivia

As is the same for the three machines under the Arcandy Project, the Arcandy Compact Worker is based on one of the three chassis types from Titanfall--in this case, the Atlas.
MESS-S1aC-001 Catalyst

- Domino Project

- Mega-Powered Naval Cannon

The MESS-S1aC-001 Catalyst is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

As the very first "Garrisai" of AEGIS to have been designed, much more focus was placed on the Catalyst resembling a mobile cannon over a humanoid machine. Thus, it only consists of treads and a semi-humanoid upper torso with a cockpit in the "head." In order for Solar Cannon to fire, the [Base Stage] must fire a high-density laser into the [Catalyst Stage]'s input funnel, which would power the chest mounted Gyrotumbler Unit. With the Gyrotumbler fully charged (it takes about 20 seconds), the beam will fire for at least ten seconds, with a ten minute cooldown. The Catalyst two-stage System was only surpassed centuries later by the much more compact yet equally as powerful Solar Eclipse.

## Armaments

- EC-03 Catalyst Two-Part System: Taking heavy inspiration off of the Solar Cannons, the CT-PS fulfilled its role as a high-output laser cannon. It consisted of a mobile “Gun” section and a stationary “Base” section. The Base would fire its laser into the Gun’s receiver, allowing the weapon to fire a massive energy blast.

- Basic Claw Manipulator: Similar to that of a construction claw, this wrist-mounted manipulator allows for the most basic of hand movement for the Catalyst. The claw is capable of lifting debris or other large objects, or can be used as a blunt melee weapon at close range.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Communications Array: This rather simple communications device is built into the Catalyst's cockpit, and is used to coordinate firing sequences between the Base and Catalyst Stages.

## History

Developed as a major upgrade to the “Solar Cannon” Project, the Catalyst provided a new range of mobility for the weapon by acting as a aptly named “Catalyst” for the gun. Originally, the Solar Cannon was comprised of a Solar Core and a Solar Gun, which were housed in the same facility and were both required for the weapon to fire. The Catalyst changed this dynamic by taking the role of the Solar Gun, which would move around the battlefield within the Solar Core’s range.

## Trivia

- The Solar Cannon has a slight similarity to the Gundam X’s Back-Mounted Beam Cannon (Satellite Cannon)
CSF-S3d Castel Ground Type III

- Harbinger

- Shoulder VAP

The CSF-S3d Castel Ground Type III (also known as the GT-III) is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Using the combat data of the Arodnight as a base, the Castel GT-III was the latest variant of the Castel Ground Type. With high performance, quick combat strike attacks being at the core of their design philosophy, the GT-III was armed with only weapons that the most experienced of pilots could handle. However, the highlight of their combat prowess comes from their ability to wield laser weaponry--a trait only held by ace pilot machines at best. Under the guidance of Zachary Omega, these machines would become the backbone of his plan, and eventually the reason behind the rise of the Swords of the Maverick.

## History

As a part of Zachary Omega's plan to defeat the Unscathed, The Castel GT-III was developed in conjunction with the Mercury Legion in secret under the Antimatter Theatre. Using Legion test data recovered from their stolen Arcandy Compact Garrisai, the GT-III was equipped with a highly advanced energy circulation system, meaning that their reactor is almost three times more efficient than their predecessors. As a result, the added energy allows for the machines to wield laser weaponry specially developed for their use. The GT-IIIs would perform their first test run of these weapons against the Desperado Storm Remnants, in which Zachary Omega would launch a surprise attack against the dormant faction using these machines.

The GT-IIIs would go on to be the personal forces of Dominic Ramirez, who would serve as his personal mercenary. When Dom went on to betray Zach and form the Swords of the Maverick, Dom's promise of continued servitude under his leadership had the pilots of the GT-IIIs (all mercenaries themselves) help him take over the rest of Decholon.

## Trivia

- In the events of the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel, the GT-IIIs are noted to have a crimson red glow to their reactors, compared to the Dechalus Core's typical blue. This red color scheme, while narratively used to show their malicious intent, would actually label the machines as users of the non-canon Fusion Drive Core.
Minerva Base

- Dominic Ramirez

- Alexander Baltimore

- Cecelia Palmer

- Miia Deltavi

- Harbinger

- Harbinger (Standard Pack)

- Majestic

- Fortress Vendetta

- Albatross Landship

Minerva Base is a Citadel located in the Andromeda region.

## History

Minerva Base was one of the last Garrisai Citadels owned by the LCR that hadn't already been captured by the Mercury Legion. It was a base located on the outskirts of Ursa Minor disguised behind a cliff face. It was originally the same base that deployed the MESS-Type Garrisai right under the “first line of defense” where the Celestial Vanguard used to invade the island. Now, it was being used as the Andromedian Remnant's main headquarters, with the rest of the remnant groups being either dismantled or MIA. This one was never found because of its unique design, and from the use of a Communication Disruptor.

The Disruptor itself was placed over the base in order to disguise the Reactor signatures Garrisai emitted. The field does extend a few meters out from the base, which shielded its remaining machines from being detected. The base was capable of housing up to six Garrisai, and held the Castel Commander Type, Majestic, and Harbinger during the beginnings of the Uprising Era. It also housed a storage chamber that contained destroyed Castel GT and Castel Heavyarms parts, as well as a slew of surplus weapons that can be attached to other Garrisai.

## Trivia

- The location of Minerva Base was based off of the UMI Shatterdome from the early stages of Harbinger 2584, as well as the Andromedian-Polarian Border Citadel from the first drafts.

- The base was originally equipped with a Shield Generator similar to the one seen on Guardia Seven, though this idea was scrapped in favor of the Disruptor in order to display the diminished technology of the Remnant Group.
MESS-S1a Harbinger Ground Type

- Perfect Harbinger

- Steelpoint Alloy Blade

- 2x Steelpoint Alloy Knives

The MESS-S1a Harbinger Ground Type is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

More about the Harbinger GT can be found here.

## Armaments

- Nanolaminate Standard Shield: A basic handheld Shield that blocks most physical projectiles. Its simple design and ease of storage means it’s reliable in most situations, and it can even store melee weapons or missile launchers on its underside.

- 40mm Assault Rifle: The weapon which would be the predecessor of the Kestrel weapon of the same name, this 40mm Rifle is the main ranged weapon of the Harbinger GT. While not being especially powerful in the way of damage, their ability to lay down suppressive fire and destroy sensitive areas on enemy machines made them effective in most situations. Designed to be cheap and easy to use, the 40mm ASU (much like the machine it was wielded by) made up for its lack of firepower with numbers.

- Anti-Armor Blade: The Standard melee armament for most mass-production units. It is made entirely of steelpoint Alloy from Blade to grip, thus its durability is incredibly strong. Most times it can be stored on the rear skirt armor, though it can also be stored under a Nanolaminate shield for quick access in a pinch.

- Anti-Armor Knife: A melee weapon exclusive to a select number of Harbinger Ground Types. With one stored in each of the side calf armors, they were designed for extreme close-quarters situations with a Celestial Vanguard machine and in the case of their main melee weapon being lost.

## History

The original variant of the Harbinger, which used a slightly more advanced loadout than its Ground Type counterparts. While most Harbinger GTs were either stored away or dismantled for parts in the closing of the Interstellar War, Alex Baltimore's Harbinger retained this form until it was lost during a battle against a Celestial Strider, where it was never recovered due to a black box malfunction. The GT was discovered by a group of scavengers in which it was picked clean of most of its equipment, and eventually found a resting spot in Isaiah Kimar's workshop after traveling across half the nation.

Dragon’s Keep

- Dominic Ramirez

- Chelsea Ferguson

- Ian Hunt

- Onyx

- Silver Magnum

- Javelin

Dragon's Keep is a Citadel located in the Draco region.

## History

When the first Celestial Strider was shot down by the combined forces of the SCO, it crashed down into Mount Draco. With the ADJM having little knowledge of the force they were facing at the time, they decided to build their first "Citadel" up on the mountain as to continue their research on it. This research evolved into the AEGIS Program, with some of the first Garrisai tests being held in Dragon's Keep. Long after the Interstellar Era, the base had been converted into the main headquarters of the ADJM's successor, the NDRC/LCDM. The following Armeli Invasion saw Dragon's Keep being converted into the main HQ of the Mercury Legion, and once again for Dominic Ramirez's Swords of the Maverick.

## Trivia

- The design and location of Dragon's Keep was based on the research facility on Decholon Summit from the first drafts of Harbinger 2584, and can be considered as its successor. Originally, the large mountain was to be a portal that led to the superweapon known as the Clockwork Moon; however, this idea was replaced with the invasion of the Celestial Vanguard.
UNITY

## Summary

UNITY revolves around the events during the closing hours of the Interstellar Era, and the mysterious SABRE Program developed after the original AEGIS one. The SABRE Program was the final Project launched by the ADJM before the conclusion of the First Great Conflict. Basing their designs off of the C-Types with unique Gimmicks, these units were never actively fielded in combat, and were only prototypes. The Characters of UNITY do share the same names as the ones seen during the other four projects, though they are likely subject to change, should this universe become canon. The fifteen AEGIS units may also be a part of this story as well.

## Characters

* James "Jamie" Rubicon
* Charlie Gemetta
* Ava Stratos
* Isabella Torres
* Vincent Edward "Eddie" Belieri
ESU-S4x/NU-024 Unity II

The ESU-S4x/NU-024 Unity II is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe. It is piloted by Chelsea Ferguson.

## Armaments

- Wire-Guided Rocket Forearms: A pair of gauntlets that act as the Saturn II's forearms. Their unique gimmick is that upon activation of the pilot, the gauntlets can detach from their sockets, flying forward with a set of four thrusters. This allows for an extremely deadly and long range punch. The gauntlets can be retracted from a pair of sturdy wires, attaching back onto the arms. Optionally, the gauntlets can be bladed for an extra amount of damage. They are used to the best of their ability due to the Saturn II's NU METACOM System.

- Nanolaminate Riot Shield: A massive body-Shield that is usually handheld. Due to its immense size, a visor is carved near its top to allow for seeing nearby enemies. Underneath the shield is a three-tube missile rack that can be fired remotely by the pilot.

- KT-040 ASU: A pair of mass-production Assault Rifles used to test the effectiveness of the W-GRF in tandem with ranged attacks. While unmodified from the factory designs, they are still effective in the hands of a skilled user.

- Anti-Armor Compact Rocket Hammer: The Saturn II is equipped with a pair of one-handed warhammers that are best used for quickly fatiguing enemy armor, as well as tossing them around the battlefield. They are rather unwieldy to use when the Wire-Guided Rocket Forearms are deployed, and thus are usually reserved towards close-combat roles only. The rears of both hammers are equipped with a small rocket engine that can propel it forward for a devastating attack, or even act as a stabilizer when thrown.
The Siegebreakers

## Summary

In choosing the pilots to run the machines of Project Resurga, Prime Minister of Decholon Will Palmer chose nine experienced veterans from the First Armeli Invasion, each of which had to undergo a “trial of fate” beforehand. Consisting of five men and five women, Will Palmer’s “Siegebreakers” were the best of the best when it came to Garrisai piloting. Assisting him would be his advisor Stella McAllister--the wife of Siegebreaker Cameron Baltimore.

As for Marie Winhart and Richard Sebas, they were both offered the chance at becoming a Seigebreaker, gaining access to the Unity II and Titan II as Resurga’s last Seigebreakers. However, both Winhart and Sebas declined, stating that they didn’t approve of the short-sighted Project Resurga. As a result, they were instead transferred into the BMPT: Delta Division--one of the four remnants of the scrapped Ballista Mass-Production Type projects--serving as a two-person tank crew.

## Roster

### The Siegebreakers

* Will Palmer: Was Commanding Officer of the LCDM. Pilot of the Majestic.
* Henry Lassiter: Was one of the first wave jet fighter pilots. Pilot of the Majestic II.

Fort Hummingbird

- Magdalena Cassidy

- Blacklight

Fort Hummingbird is a Citadel located in the Andromeda region.

## History

### Interstellar Era

Fort Hummingbird was originally developed to test the brand new MESS High-Mobility Types Rocket and Storm. Due to the latter being an airborne unit, the Citadel was designed to feature an opening dome over a special hangar. This would allow for the Storm to be launched vertically out of the Hangar for operations. It could then land on a rail-mounted platform that would bring the Garrisai back into the hangar. The Rocket could be launched out of a tunnel-like hangar that could accelerate it at high-speeds via clamps.

### Uprising Era

When the development of the two Revolta Ace Customs were complete, Chelsea Ferguson was granted temporary control of the base alongside with Ian Hunt and Magdalena Cassidy under the group name NOVA Team. With the hangars from the Interstellar Era still being intact, Chelsea was able to use the Storm's hangar for her Javelin, and the tunnel hangar for Ian's Sabre.

## Trivia

- Fort Hummingbird's design is based off of the Andromeda Citadel of the first drafts of Harbinger 2584. It, alongside Midnight Base, are the only citadels to retain the same design, overseers, location, and controlling faction since these first drafts.

- Its name is derived from the hummingbird, which is known for its unique flight pattern. This relates to the prototype high-mobility units it housed, and the unique hangars it was built around.
TRE(NT)

## Summary

The [DESTINY\_RUNNER] is an Artificial Intelligence developed by the Celestial Vanguard. Earning its name after the Celestial Strider it was housed in, it was recovered from the machine and analyzed by the DTRO. It would go on to affect the conflicts occurring in the DUALITY, PURITY, and LEGACY stories.

## History

Initially believed to be inanimate and only an intelligence construct capable of completing advanced tasks, it was later realized following the Nightwatch Incident that the AI was very much alive. The first to discover the AI's sentience was Calvin LaMaris, who, after a tragic assassination attempt by Veronica Angelos, was "reborn" by the AI under the name Nightwatch. Using LaMaris and the Dark Pegasus as its host, DR would go on to try and re-establish connection with the Vanguard, as well as revive any remnants of its forces still abandoned on Decholon.

The AI was partially successful in the awakening of the Celestial Striders Lacerta and Peacekeeper, though both were stopped by the forces of the Lance Core Remnants, Mercury Legion, and Unscathed Neo-Insurrectionists.
LS1b/CSF-S3b Castel Artillery Type

The LS1b/CSF-S3b Castel Artillery Type is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Another variant of the LANDSTRIKE intended for use by Castel Ground Types with additional armaments for even heavier combat operations. Known when equipped as the Castel Artillery Type, it features two shoulder-mounted 300mm HPNCs, two forearm mounted 100mm HAMGs, and two waist-mounted Rocket Anchors. (The "twin barrels" of the HAMGs are actually a single-barreled 100mm HAMG with the Rocket Anchor in the other barrel.) A custom version of this LANDSTRIKE System is used by Miia Deltavi's Vendetta. Only 45 of these specialized sets were ever constructed.

## Trivia

- The LANDSTRIKE INSTAMA's weapons set pays direct homage to the original MESS' weapons and general design.

## CENTURY: Harbinger - Century's End (2600-2625)

Years after the end of the Harbinger Conflict, a malicious legion of automated Garrisai have overrun the nation of Decholon and reduced it to anarchy. Departing from the security of his home, Nick Baltimore sets out to make a name for himself in this desolate wasteland--and defeat the horrors that killed his mother.

## DESTINY: Harbinger - The Black Box Files (0000-0000)

This non-canon side-project isn't inherently a new story per-se, but a rework of all older and scrapped designs that never made it to the LEGACY cut. By making use of the outdated folders, as well as the Pacific Rim-themed designs, I can probably do something cool with it. We'll have to wait and see what happens I guess.
Decholon Technology and Research Organization

## History

Founded by the inventors of the AEGIS Program, the DTRO was driven towards adapting to Decholon’s transition between a warring to a civilized state. Thus, the AEGIS units that remained from the Interstellar Era were either stored in Garrisai Vaults or broken down to build the DTRO’s new designs. In turn, collaborations with Castel Industries for a conventional warfare-oriented take of the Garrisai sparked movements towards the development of a new model of Garrisai known as the Castel Series. Later, they would independently develop an AEGIS-inspired development program known as Project Resurga.

Citadel

## Summary

A Citadel is a military-grade base that serves both as one of the headquarters for the factions controlling it, as well as a storage unit of Garrisai Mobile Weapons. A total of twelve Citadels were constructed around Decholon, with many more being built around the Santalis Core Order. Their classifications are divided into three "Core" Citadels, six "Reserves" Citadels, and three Supply Bases (which housed various weapons and technology). They were all constructed by the ADJM, and were inherited by the LCDM until many of them were captured by Mercury Legion and UNI forces.

## Divisions

**Note: The acronyms following the names of the Citadels each stand for the faction that controlled it during the Uprising Era. (LCR = Lance Core Remnants, ML = Mercury Legion, UNI = Unscathed Neo-Insurgency.)**

SP-03 Arcane Inferno

- Reinforced Sub-Arms

The SP-03 Arcane Inferno is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - An Old-Era War* Novel. It is piloted by Ava Stratos.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Quite literally a burning fireball in combat, the Arcane Inferno is almost a super-robot from its fantastical weapon set. While the Inferno can use and wield just about any weapon a Garrisai is capable of using, its true power lies in its unique system known as the Ultimate Ignition. When this system is activated, the built in thermonuclear heating vents’ limiters are unlocked, causing the entire Garrisai to literally engulf in flames. Despite the impractical design, the superheated Frame has an improved movement speed, reaction time, and sheer power in close-quarters attacks. Attacks are primarily unarmed, with the Inferno dropping all held weapons when the system is activated. The Heatproof Frame can only sustain this high-temperature state for so long, so the Ultimate Ignition can only be activated for 5min, with a 10min cooldown.

## Armaments

### Base Weapons

- Charged Buster Knuckles: The primary weapons of the Inferno when in Ultimate Ignition. The special metal used in the Knuckles allow for them to be used without melting, thus they can boost the Inferno’s break power when attacking enemy armor.

- Charged Sabers: An alternate weapon of the Inferno over the CBKs. They are a pair of large swords that can withstand the heat of the UI. When not in use, they are stored on the side skirt armors.

- 40mm ASU: The Inferno can wield up to four ASUs, with two in its main hands and two in its sub-arms. These cannot be used in UI, as they would melt in the suit’s arms. All four of these guns have 120 round drum magazines, instead of the original 30, in order to make reloading less of a necessity.

### Special Attacks

- Sunbreaker Suckerpunch: An overhead combo punch with the main and sub arm.

- Double-Down Uppercut: A high-powered uppercut combo with the main and sub arm. Can be used alongside the Sunbreaker Suckerpunch.

- Dynamo Dropkick: Leap into the air and slam a knee down into anyone underneath, rupturing the ground in an AoE attack.

- Hellfire Hold: Deploy the sub-arms to pin an enemy and hold them still. Follow up with the main arms to punch or melt through the enemy’s armor and frame. Only usable during Ultimate Ignition. It is considered Ava's signature attack.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Sub-Arms: A METACOM Use System that uses the pilot’s background thoughts to operate. When not in use, they fold up into the backpack parts of the Garrisai, and are used to hold weapons or various armaments.
Lance Core Defensive Military

## History

The Lance Core Defensive Military, or LCDM, is the main military force of the island of Decholon. Originally consisting of a standard infantry force, it was expanded with a joint project between the DTRO and DPS that would become the iconic Project X. This introduced the Garrisai Mobile Weapon from the AEGIS Program, which would become the main force deployed by the LCDM alongside the twelve citadels from the days of the Interstellar Era. Under the guidance of the NDRC Council, the LCDM fought in the first and second Armeli Invasions, though the latter would lead to their downfall along with the other branches of the Decholonian civilization. This led to the fragmentation of the LCDM into two warring factions that would fight against the Mercury Legion and each other: the Lance Core Remnants and Unscathed Neo-Insurrectionists. Following the end of the Uprising Era, the two factions the LCDM had been fragmented into would come together to form the Decholon Garrisai Defense Corps.

## Known Members

* John Orion
* Cameron Baltimore
* Magdalena Cassidy
* Marie Winhart
* Richard Longbow
* Connor Holland
* Samantha Jenkins
* Dominic Ramirez

## Known Garrisai

- The development of Garrisai under the LCDM is best divided into two stages: the First Age of Mass Production, and Project X, both of which have their respective pages and roster lists. (Click on each of the links to see them.)

## Trivia

- “Core” is a mispronunciation of the word “Corp.,” though it can also be pronounced “Lance Corps.”

- The original name for the LCDM was actually the DGDC.

- It is also the successor to the DAF, or Decholon Armed Forces, from the early stages of Harbinger 2584.
CSF-S3c/LP05-118 Iron Stallion

- Prototype Autopilot Device

- 2x 80mm torso Vulcan Guns

The CSF-S3c/LP05-118 Iron Stallion is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Cruel Duality* Novel. It is piloted by Marie Winhart and Richard Sebas.

## Armaments

- 200mm Artillery Cannon: In order to increase the general accuracy of shots fired from the Ballista, the 300mm HPNCs usually seen on units such as the Cyclops GT was toned down to a 200mm receiver. While less powerful than their 300mm counterparts, the additional range these cannons provided was invaluable for the Ballista as a support unit. While Cyclops' cannons traded accuracy for power, the Ballista's was quite the opposite. They are mounted on the shoulders, and can be rotated upwards when not in used.

100mm Heavy Anti-Material Gun:

- 80mm Vulcan Gun: A rapid-fire rotary cannon that fires 80mm rounds. They are mounted in the torso to provide the best possible stability when firing, though the extreme recoil means accuracy is only limited to close/medium range.

- Castel Type Manipulator: The Ballista MPT can be equipped with a standard Castel GT hand or hands for using Kestrel or Omega-designed weapons. This, while slightly more expensive and unconventional, can make a Ballista's survival much more guaranteed when not supported by allies.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Assitive Targeting Sensor: Unlike the original Ballista’s Helmet-like head, the MPT substitutes it for a low-profile mid-range targeting sensor. This design was linked directly to the pilot seat, allowing for continued vision of the battlefield while the gunner rotates the torso.

- Two-Pilot System: Similar to a realistic tank, the BMPT consists of a two-man crew: a pilot and a gunner. The pilot controls the machine’s movement, comms and other controls, while the gunner controls most of the weapons systems and ATS. The Pilot is situated in the chest and uses the “head” top-mounted primary camera, while the gunner is situated in front of the pilot and uses the chest-mounted secondary camera.

- Prototype Autopilot Device: Unlike most of the Ballista Mass-Production Types in service, the Iron Stallion is equipped with a psuedo-AI that can fulfill either the pilot or gunner role of the Garrisai, allowing the pilot or pilots to perform other functions. Constructed by Marie Winhart herself, it began as a pet project during their conscription under the Delta Division, and would use it in creative ways during her muckraking operations against the NDRC.
Garrisai Control Systems

## Joystick Control System

A standardized control system used by all Garrisai to operate.

## NU METACOM

Logic-Based construct used for quick multi-targeting barrage shots, as well as remote weapons. Eventually became standardized. Similar to the Multi Lock-On System seen on the Strike Freedom.

## LES(LIE)

Intelligence-Based construct used for predictive actions and coordinated attacks with telepathic weaponry. Has a growth-based design. Similar to the ALICE of the EX-S Gundam.

## DESTINY RUNNER

Organic-Based constrict used for linear operations and optimal methods towards threat elimination at large scales. Difficult to control. Similar to the EXAM System of the Blue Destiny Units.

## ULTIMATE IGNITION

Limiter-Based System that crudely enhances all statistics slightly when all other weaponry has been depleted. Can only operate under certain conditions. Similar to the Trans-Am Systems of the Gundams from 00.
Garrisai Frame Types

## Celestial Conflict (First Great Conflict)

- MESS Frame: A special-use frame that was designed to combat the Celestial Striders. In conjunction with the Ichor Cores, these frames had a high output yet a versatile design which could be conjured in Heavyguns, High-Mobility Types, and other uses.

- MESS-MP Frame: A mass-produced version of the MESS Frame that focused on ease-of-maintenance and reliability. While its power output was nowhere near the power of a MESS frame, they made up for that with a cheap production cost and efficient design.

## Armadeli Conflict (Second Great Conflict)

- Castel Standard Frame: A frame derived from the MESS-MP Frame that focused on ease of maintenance and reliability. While being under powered compared to their original counterparts due to their former evolution into construction use equipment, the Castel still proved to work just as well. Originally being equipped with wired electric batteries, the introduction of the Dechalus Core led to a major boost in the machine's performance.

- Castel Limited-Production Frame: A variant of the Castel frame that came in two forms: A-Type (LP02) and B-Type (LP01). The As were designed for close-quarters, while the Bs were designed for Ranged support. The two frames were designed to work in tandem with each other, each one countering the flaws of the other. While they saw limited production leading up to the fall of the NDRC, some were revived in the form of ace units such as Arodnight and Vendetta. Three lesser known variants, the LP03 Antilockup Type, LP04 Aquatic Type, and LP05 Ballista Mass-Production Type, were also fielded and did serve in the later years of the Armadeli Conflict.

- Revolta Advanced Frame: A Frame designed by the Mercury Legion. Since they were directly based off of the high-performance MESS Frames, they were better performing and much more flexible than their Castel Counterparts. Since Armeli had access to the Ichor Cores used by the Garrisai of the Celestial Conflict, they were able to design a frame geared more towards high-output.

- Arcandy Frame: A Frame developed from the Castel Frame that uses an energy-efficient design to prolong its use-time while being just as effective. The main difference, however, is that the Arcandy Frame is was designed to work in the short, powerful bursts of the Arcandite Core.

- UNI Arcandy Compact Breaker Frame: A more robust version of the Arcandy Frame that uses a shorter frame design to fully utilize the quick bursts of the Arcandy Core. A single prototype was built of this Frame, but was eventually stolen by the Mercury Legion.
RSF-MKIIaF Revolta Guards Type

- 2x Disruptor Grenades

The RSF-MKIIaF Revolta Guards Type is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The special use version of the Revolta Ground Type that was designed to serve with Jack Kendall’s personal guard. Despite the improvement in design style from its predecessor, the Guards Type is still fundamentally the same machine. Around fifteen of these machines were created from Revolta Ground Types, and were fielded in stead of Jack Kendall and his Diamondback. The Guards Type would also serve as the inspiration of Ian Hunt’s personal unit, the Sabre.

## Armaments

- 60mm Carbine: A weapon that favors precision and damage over fire rate, the 60mm Carbine is a weapon ideal for marksmen. Sporting a foregrip, adjustable scope, 18-round bullpup magazine and semi-auto receiver, this weapon works nicely when paired with the ATS of Revolta GTs. Even brand new pilots can master this weapon in a few training sessions. Though it is sometimes substituted by the 40mm SMG, the Carbine holds true as the Legion weapon of choice.

- Anti-Armor Halberd: As one of the variants of the well performing AA Waraxe, this weapon retains the benefits of the original while being granted a longer reach from the addition of an extended handle. This allows for a wider breadth of attacks made available to the pilot.

- Nanolaminate Expandable Shield: A variant of the Nanolaminate Compact Shield that can expand into a larger body shield. This is made possible from the use of a second Nanolaminate plate on a sliding rail. Most commonly, these shields are adorned with the Royal Guard’s custom insignia.

- Swarmfire Missile Silo: A small swarmfire missile silo is mounted on each of the machine's calf armors. They allow for efficient crowd control or opponent suppression, due to their low blast radius. When depleted, each of the two assemblies can be purged to reduce dead weight.
