The MESS-S1bB-009 Artillery is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The large arsenal of portable weapons the Artillery uses allows for a versatile style of combat. This means it can use certain weapons for specific situations, and will give it a sustainable amount of firepower which will keep it long into combat. The shield and armor will also ensure its longevity in combat. It houses two “packs,” or loadouts, which it can deploy into battle with. These are the Mastergun and Gladiator Packs. The Mastergun Pack combines all four of its ranged weapons into a single weapon via a combination frame, unleashing devastating firepower from a single source. The Gladiator Pack uses the sword and shield/knuckle to utilize a close-quarters fight style.

## Armaments

The Artillery can swap between four individual weapons: An Assault Rifle, Pistol, Minigun, and Missile Launcher. It also has a sword for melee attacks, and a shield for use with the sword or as a mobile barrier which it can hide behind. All weapons are stored on a back mounted storage rack, and are deployed through it grabbing it from over the shoulder. All four weapons can be combined into a weapon known as the Quadcannon, which fires all four weapons at once in the shape of an oversized turret. The shield can convert into a top mounted shield, and the rack can convert into a tripod. (This will depend) The shield can combine with the Breaker gauntlet to become an close-quarters Actuator Knuckle.

## History

Artillery was the first Heavygun to be developed in the second line of MESS Units. Being the first of its kind, it did not use a plethora of fixed weapons and compact systems. Instead, it was given a large number of handheld weapons, which it could only use one at a time. It was eventually overhauled into the Hightower and reused by Richard Longbow. The Artillery is designed to support versatile combat options depending on the situation. Thus, it can also be considered as a situation adaptable unit, or SAU.

## Trivia

- Despite having the Hi-Sensitivity Targeting Sensor, the Artillery is only tuned to fighting at medium range, compared to the long range systems implanted in shelling and sniping units in the future.
ESU-S4x-017 Majestic II

The ESU-S4x-017 Majestic II is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Unlike most of the Garrisai developed in Project Resurga, the Majestic II (and its following counterpart the Majestic III) were based off of Resurga’s first machine—the Majestic. As such, both the Majestic II and its sister unit were fine-tuned towards high-performance and mobility, the Majestic II being the first to improve off of the Majestic’s Balancing Thrusters. While the Rocket II could be considered the chronological first successor of the Majestic, the latter’s focus on general-purpose, high-performance, and accelerated mobility was far different than the Rocket II’s focus on pushing its speed alone to the limits. Because of this, the III and II were designed as testbed units for the other Project Resurga machines, with the end goal of equipping them with individual equipment sets once testing was completed. In order to keep the experimental technology tested with these Garrisai from being publicly revealed, both the II and III were kept a secret and continued testing at the Silent Citadel, well after the Garrisai succeeding them were undergoing testing themselves.

The Kingship’s final equipment set would be the Golden Gates Initiative, converting the Kingship into a medieval knight-inspired melee user. However, it would never receive this upgrade. While in the late stages of testing the prototype “Hunter” neural weapons projected for the Unity II, the Kingship was stolen by LCDM Rifleman John Orion during an ambush by LCDM Separatists during its transport to Fort Hummingbird. Had it arrived at the base, it would have received its Golden Gates upgrade, just in time for its official reveal at the annual Flying Iron Show.

NAF-S5x-088 Sapphire Chariot

- Nick Baltimore

- Jump Jets

- Actuator Knees

The NAF-S5x-088 Sapphire Chariot is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Century's End* Novel.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Built from a culmination of Celestial Vanguard technology under the Instinct Corporation, the Sapphire Chariot was developed by the New Age Foundry and served as the very first Garrisai made by the manufacturer. As such, its head and armor design are a complete departure from most existing Garrisai designs, though it is capable of using more conventional weaponry from manufacturers such as Omega or Kestrel.

The Chariot was not developed for use in conventional battle scenarios; rather, it was intended to be used against Celestial Striders, should they ever return. Using data gathered from as far back as the Interstellar Conflict, it was equipped with special equipment to more efficiently counter the alien machines. Similar to machines such as the Solar Eclipse, the Chariot is still capable of adapting to conventional warfare, despite its highly specialized role.

## Armaments

- Telescopic Rocket Warhammer: A massive hammer weapon designed for use against Celestial Striders. Consisting of a rectangular head with several rocket boosters on its end, it uses the added thrust to deal fatigue damage to its opponents. When used against normal Garrisai, the weapon can crush and pummel enemies with unparalleled ease. When not in use, its telescopic handle can collapse into the head of the hammer, and is mounted on the right shoulder armor as to make space for the Bastille Matrix.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Bastille Matrix: Being a device never seen on any other unit before it, the Bastille Matrix consists of a pair of long wing-like binders on either side of the main backpack unit. While usually folded downwards and collapsed when not in use, it is only activated when in combat with an Celestial Strider. This is when the binders will fold up and out, extending from their collapsed forms. The vents on both binders, as well as the vents between the binders and backpack, will emit a constant energy field in the shape of a pair of wings. The “matrix” causes the unique metal the Strider’s armor is made of to slowly degrade, thus making it possible for the machine to deal more damage and take it down. The device can be used as long as the reactor has sufficient reserve energy to power it. It was designed from special particles that were shown to react with Celestial Strider armor, though much of it was attributed to Interstellar design.

## Trivia

- Even after the development and deployment of devices such as the Dantalion Warhead Assembly, 500mm Railgun and Solar Cannon Itself, the Bastille Matrix was surprisingly the most effective method in countering Celestial Striders. It played the most defensive role compared to the rest.

- The Chariot is based on a scrapped concept for Athena, which would eventually become the Valtheræ.

- It also slightly resembles the EB-06 Graze from Gundam: IBO.
LES(LIE)

The Land Exam System (Linked Intelligence Entity) is an Artificial Intelligence from the *Harbinger - Cruel Duality* Novel.

## Personality and Character

Despite being primarily a combat AI, the LES(LIE) was still capable of forming "conscious" thoughts in order to properly make decisions. This made it accident-prone from its own methods, though this was done in order to allow the AI to learn and become more skilled. At first, the LES(LIE) acted like a monotone personal assistant, with little character to their actions. However, this would gradually change when the LES(LIE) was in use by John Orion. Because of John's unprofessional nature and determined personality, it caused the LES(LIE) to develop a personality of its own. The AI would be incredibly curious and easily sidetracked during battles, though when commanded by John it would be far more attentive and determined--just like its pilot. The actual holographic design of the LES(LIE) was based off of its inventor, their name unknown.

## Skills and Abilities

Designed as a more controlled variant of the AI - TRE(NT), the Land Examine System (or LESLIE) is an AI that assists in Targeting Enemies and running subroutines that take more of an effort than what a normal METACOM system can handle. While its design was later perfected by the scientists of Nu Helix and their aptly named NU METACOM system, the LESLIE itself was just as capable of working effectively.

## History

At first, the LES(LIE) was paired with the BR/ESU-S4x/NU-021 Kingship, serving as the co-pilot to ace pilot John Orion. At the end of the Second Armeli Invasion, the Kingship was brought alongside its sister units Dreadnought and Pegasus in order to undergo repairs. But as they were doing so, the Mercury Legion attacked the base and captured all three units from the receding LCDM. The LES(LIE) was extracted from the Kingship and stolen aboard the Dreadnought by aces Jack Kendall, Daniel Sherman, and Chelsea Ferguson. They brought the system in for testing, only for it to switch into a failsafe mode, corrupting Chelsea (who had been the one to test the LES(LIE)), causing her to go insane. The voice of the LES(LIE) would constantly clash with Chelsea’s normal one, giving her a sort of split personality.

## Trivia

- Alternatively, Leslie's name would have been D.A.N.I., or the Data Analysis Neural Interface. This alternate name was conceptualized later in the drafting of the *Cruel Duality* Novel.
MESS-S1aB-002 Ballista

- 60mm Heavy Bolt Minigun

- Striker Missile Silos

The MESS-S1aB-002 Ballista is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

While it was the first of its kind to use ranged weapons, Ballista was forced to run on tank treads unlike its hovering or walking brothers. Thus, it was only effective on relatively flat ground, as an incline or ditch could prevent it from moving. Usually staying on the sidelines, it would serve as a support sniper, while the other Garrisai fought on the front lines.

## Armaments

- 80mm Four-Barrel Hand Autocannons: 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.

- Prometheus 300mm Coiled Railguns: What would eventually become known as the iconic 300mm High-Powered Naval Cannons, the Prometheus Railguns were the first instance of large-caliber shell-firing weapons. While not incredibly accurate, their ease of use and high AoE meant that direct hits weren't necessary to score major damage. Due to the sheer size of the Celestial Striders the Ballistas were usually deployed against, accuracy wasn't a problem at all. Thus, it was decided that the deadliness of a round be of highest priority. (Kestrel actually took inspiration off of the 300mm receiver and re-introduced it in the form of a Naval Cannon. Hence, the HPNC.)

- 60mm Heavy Bolt Minigun: This high-caliber rotary cannon served as the backup weapon for the Ballista, should its other weapons be compromised. It fires at a slightly higher rate than that of the 80mm Autocannons, and thus is relegated to more of a suppression role over damage. Even then, its 60mm receiver can still deal major damage if aimed correctly.

- Striker Missile Silos: These high-yield missile pods deal large amounts of damage on their own, and thus are best used in single, special attacks. Up to four are stored on each tread armor.

## History

Developed as the prototype version of the Harbinger, the Ballista was used to test out the effectiveness of conventional weapons used by a humanoid machine. Since the ADJM hadn’t developed bipedal legs yet, they recycled the same tank tread chassis from the Catalyst, which allowed them to focus on the arms and head hard points. After purchasing weapons from a number of companies (NOT KESTREL), they installed them on this unit and sent it out into combat. Several of these units were deployed, though only in small numbers due to their purpose as test units. With many of the tests ending in success, the ADJM was able to begin development on a more humanoid designed machine—the Harbinger GT.

## Trivia

- The Ballista shares some uncanny similarities with the Guntank of Gundam. I only discovered Gundam about three years after designing the Ballista, so either it was an extreme coincidence or subconscious copying. I have no idea.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Albatross, like most of the LandShips developed for use with Garrisai, uses its heavy weapons and thick armor to safely transport its passengers and cargo long distances across the SCO. Its hangars can store up to four combat-ready Garrisai, while the rest of its rooms serve the Remnants piloting these machines.

## Armaments

- TGDP Catapult: Designed for use with the Tactical Garrisai Deployment Pod.

## History

After the widespread success of the LandShip in cargo and supply transport, it was decided that there needed to be a solution to quickly deploying Garrisai on the battlefield. Thus, the LandShips once used for civilian means before the Interstellar Conflict were converted into battle-ready mobile Fortresses. The cargo holds were installed with four Garrisai hangars, while the rest of the vehicle held enough resources to keep a entire strike team supported during long term missions. Later renditions of the combat-capable LandShip saw an increase in hangars (now having up to eight) which was more intended for large-scale battle deployments.

During the Harbinger Uprising, of these combat-capable LandShips was found by the Andromedian Remnants within a Mercury Legion-controlled Citadel, and was taken only after numerous attempts to capture the fortress. It would help the Remnants traverse the Andromedian plains while storing their (now four) Garrisai in its hangar bays—The Buster Harbinger, Arodnight, Majestic Repair, and Framebound Vendetta. The Majestic Repair would actually take one of the LandShip’s twelve Thermonuclear Jet Engines as a replacement for one of its destroyed Balancing Thrusters.

## Trivia

- A version of the Albatross LandShip is based off of the design of Veb’s Ship from EYC.
ACF-V2x Arcandy Compact Striker

The ACF-V2x Arcandy Compact Striker is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technical Specifications

### Classification

Prototype High-Performance High-Mobility Unit

## Standard Armaments

### Handheld

- 40mm ASU- Anti-Armor Flat-Edged Blade (UNI Design)

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Arcandy Compact Striker lightens the internal frame and diverts the excess energy the Arcandy Compact Reactor generated into the thrusters. With such a high output, the Striker could reach speeds that nearly double that of the HMT II System, all without causing too much strain on the Reactor. However, overheats could be caused if the thrusters output too much in a short window.

## Trivia

As is the same for the three machines under the Arcandy Project, the Arcandy Compact Striker is based on one of the three chassis types from Titanfall--in this case, the Stryder.
MESS-S1cC-015 Titan

The MESS-S1cC-015 Titan is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Titan was designed around the use of the Sub-Arm Units: an extra pair of arms that were almost identically designed like the unit's main arms. They were attached on two back-mounted booster units, which could fold out from the boosters when activated. Since the amount of controls needed to operate all four arms at once was not possible at the time, a second "gunner" pilot seat was installed in the Titan to control the sub-arms. This required the pilots to have a good amount of coordination when in battle.

## Armaments

- 30mm Shoulder Vulcans: Due to the Titan's primarily unarmed fighting style, these 30mm shoulder vulcans are used as a suppression weapon to stall enemy units. With a low damage output and similarly average rate of fire, they are best used to target camera and joint systems on enemy machines.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Advanced Sub-Arms: This extra pair of arms can perform a number of actions, from holding weapons to using melee attacks. They are operated by a secondary pilot under the Joystick Control System, who sits above the METACOM using-pilot's cockpit.

## Trivia

- The Titan bears a striking resemblance to the MESS IV of the Epic Yoshi Comix universe, with both units using a four-armed design, as well as needing multiple pilots in order to operate.
- It is also a “Shiphead” like its successor, the Titan II.
Armadeli Joint Military

## Summary

The Armadeli Joint Military, or better known as the ADJM, is the mainline military branch of the Santalis Core Order. Its name is comprised of the two nations that ran it--the island nation of Armeli and the inland nation of Decholon. By extension, the collaboration of their military forces (who would become the AECMU and LCDM, respectively), were at the forefront of this alliance. With Armeli's Ichor-based machines and Decholon's experimental Garrisai weapons, they would combine the two into the Harbinger Project.

## History

When the Celestial Vanguard touched down in 2428, their persistent attacks on the eastern seaboard of the SCO meant Armeli and Decholon were at the frontline of these attacks. Thus, while the ADJM allocated their resources into combat, the remaining nations of Barzale, Kalida, and Nu Helix focused on weapons manufacturing, research & development, as well as strategic planning. Upon the closing of the Interstellar Conflict in 2431, the ADJM was disbanded, where the proposal of Armeli's Naval Defense Fleet was enacted as the SCO's mainline defense program. Not only was this plan far more efficient than the Harbinger Project in terms of resources and manpower needed, but also more neutral in the Era of Peace that followed the war.

## Known Garrisai

* In the Harbinger Project, all Garrisai developed were under the AEGIS Program.

## Trivia

- The ADJM Article was the 150th page created. Woo.
Gyrotumbler

[Note: The Gyrotumbler first appeared on later editions of the Catalyst, where it helped in compressing energy transferred from the energy funnel to the firing mechanism. The Gyrotumbler would go on to be refitted for HMT units, as they allowed for the cycling of energy needed to lift these machines off of the ground.]

The Gyrotumbler Unit is a prototype support system designed to work exclusively with High-Mobility Type Garrisai. First being introduced with the Majestic, it consists of a large turbine-like structure that connects in between the core and energy tubes spread throughout the rest of the Garrisai. When activated, it runs in parallel with the unit’s core, dynamically recharging and boosting the amount of energy flowing through the unit. It could be perceived as a particle accelerator that, put simply, allows for the an energy usage far more efficient than normal. Units equipped with a Gyrotumbler are often given the ability to hover above the ground, earning their titles as a High-Mobility Type. When equipped with a METACOM or NU METACOM System, the pilot can take full advantage of the Thruster Network on their Garrisai, allowing for quick dodges, extravagant jumps, and speedy charges to close distance between a threat.
Thruster Kit

## Summary

While many of the original design concepts for machines such as the original 15 did include a form of hovering system akin to magnetic levitation or rocket thrusters, their technology is not the most realistic when it comes to the universe they’re situated in. Thus, any AEG15 Unit that was originally depicted to have Thruster or maglev technology will only have standard legs. Only HMT or HMT II Units will keep a form of the hovering system, which has already been established as a modern design. The difference between the HMT and HMT II Units is that the former ran on external fuel canisters in order to compensate for the increased energy drain, while the latter are equipped with Gyrotumbler Units.

## Standard Thruster Kit

A Thruster Kit that allows for short bursts of movement and assisted jumps. While it requires no external fuel canisters to operate, they are incapable of hovering and can only be used for unique movement schemes. Most commonly seen on mass-production units, it is easy to produce and requires little modification to function well.

## High-Mobility Type Thruster Kit

A Thruster Kit that allows for low-altitude hovering and assisted jumps. Being derived from the Rocket of the FGC, this prototype-use thruster Kit would be seen on all Project X units. They were intended for improved movement across terrain, not increased speed. Of course, these would require external fuel canisters for prolonged use.

## High-Mobility Type II Thruster Kit

A Thruster Kit that allows for low-altitude, high-speed hovering and assisted jumps. This improved version of the HMT Thruster Kit was built for speed, being over three times faster than the original. Its energy efficiency was also upgraded with the introduction of a Gyrotumbler Unit. They would be seen on all derivatives of the Majestic (those being the Kingship and Pegasus), though other units existed without Gyrotumblers. Variants of this system were capable of unassisted flight, though only one copy of this was ever built.
CSF-S3dA/NU-036 Arodnight

- Harbinger (Standard Pack)

The CSF-S3dA/NU-036 Arodnight is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel. It is piloted by Dominic Ramirez.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Being developed from the captured Castel Ground Type II aboard the Fellhunter and Alex’s Harbinger, the Arodnight is the prototype version of the Castel GT-III Frame. Using the design of the Castel Limited Production Frame as a basis, it is highly mobile and versatile on the battlefield. Interestingly, the GT-II stationed on the Fellhunter was installed with a copy of the NU METACOM System. This allows Dom to make full use of the Arodnight’s maneuverability.

## Armaments

- Anti-Armor Smart Saber: This version of the Anti-Armor Saber is much larger and can be used by both one and two hands. While the design of the sword was rarely used by most Castel units (who usually used the Anti-Armor blade), a handful of these were still produced for commanders. It also has the unique feature of a movable blade which, by the use of a semicircle-shaped rail (that also serves as a hand guard), allows the weapon to be wielded both forehanded and backhanded. It also features a hollow body that can catch enemy melee weapons and break them with a twist. When not in use, it is stored on the backpack.

- Nanolaminate Expandable Shield: The shield of the Arodnight is multi-layered, with its top layer sliding out when deployed. This keeps the system compact when not in use, and defends just as well as a Standard Shield. It is usually mounted on the left forearm when in use.

## Special Equipment and Features

- FrameBreaker Optic: Unlike the FrameBreaker Visor used by units such as the Juggernaut GT, the Arodnight did not have access to a complete version of this system. Instead, the remnants of a FrameBreaker Visor was scavenged from a Juggernaut GT and integrated into the Arodnight’s incomplete right eye. While using this partially complete system, Dom can make out most of an enemy’s exposed frame, but not all of it. The system’s tendency to give the pilot tunnel vision is a lot more prominent than normal, meaning that it is less accurate and can cause Dom to miss his targets. When activated, the right eye of the unit glows a bright crimson apart from its usual yellow.

- NU METACOM System: When a NU METACOM System was discovered in the warehouse captured by the LCR (likely a keepsake held by the ML), it was integrated into the Arodnight during its construction. This allowed for Dom to attack at a far greater power than Cecelia and Alex combined, even going as far as to score a kill on ace pilot Lena Cassidy. This system would be used by Dom until it was refitted into the Excalibre (as the Arodnight wasn’t powerful enough for him).

## Trivia

- Due to a scarcity of resources, the bulb cover shielding the Garrisai's right eye was removed but never replaced, leaving the circular socket exposed. It gives an ominous bright glow in operation. While the normal eye glows yellow, the incomplete eye glows red.

- The Arodnight is most inspired from Barbatos Lupus of Gundam IBO.

- Arodnight is actually a misspelling of the legendary sword Arondight.
Metals of the Harbinger Universe

## Frame Metal - Steelpoint Alloy

A metal developed from the metal sources stationed on Decholon. The metal can be heated at different temperatures to reach a certain level of hardness, allowing for a variety of frame and joint purposing. The metal is sturdy enough to function without support form armor, though ballistic damage can do a number on exposed areas.

## Armor Metal - Obsidian Steel Alloy

The kind of metal plating used by the Garrisai of the Interstellar Era. As a combination between obsidian silicate and high-tensile titanium-based steel, Obsidian Steel is incredibly robust yet incredibly light compared to other conventional means of Garrisai armament. Only a limited supply of this metal was ever forged, as a combination of high production costs and the invention of Nanolaminate Plating by Omega Armories.

## Armor Metal - Carbon Steel Plating

By infusing existing Obisian Steel Alloy with diamonds, the minds behind the Revolta Ground Type were able to create a far more durable and deflective armor material known as Carbon Steel. Only found on Revolta-Type Machines and Garrisai such as the Diamondback, it far surpasses the capabilities of Nanolaminate Plating, and as such reduces the need for layering for sufficient protection.

## Armor Metal - Nanolaminate Plating

A plastic-like metal plating developed from Obsidian Steel Alloy: the metal Garrisai were originally armored with. Starting with the S3 Garrisai, this armor material was lightweight yet durable, ensuring that it can take small arms fire from other Garrisai, and is capable of withstanding a 100mm cannon shot with only a dent. The armor is usually paired with shields or multiple layers, as to reduce the impact of repeated damage.

## Armor Metal - Hexaplate Armor

Developed exclusively by the UNI, this honeycomb-shaped armor uses a unique lattice design. Based off of the Carbon Steel Plating of the Revolta Ground Type, it is meant to be a catalyst for the Nexus-inspired Shielding Systems. As such, it is only found on Insurgency Delta Types and the Nexus itself.
ESU-S4x-020 Dreadnought II

- Castel Armor Type

## Standard Armaments

### Fixed

- 2x Ankle/Back-Mounted Disposable Swarmfire Missile Launchers- Left Forearm 80mm Autocannon

- Right Underarm 200mm Prototype Hi-Impact Cannon

### Handheld

- 40mm Chain-Fed Custom ASU- Anti-Armor Blade

The ESU-S4x-020 Dreadnought II is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe. It is piloted by Cameron Baltimore.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Developed as the successor of the Dreadnought from the AEGIS Program, the Urban Dreadnought of Project Resurga retains the spirit of the original while adapting its technology for the modern era. By converting the Dreadnought’s four handheld weapons into fixed ones, they were projected to increase the machine’s efficiency in crowd control during combat. This configuration of the Dreadnought would undergo a series of tests before receiving its final upgrade in the form of the Full City Initiative, granting it the title of the Urban Dreadnought.

## Armaments

- 2x Ankle/Back-Mounted Disposable Swarmfire Missile Launchers: In order to gather data for the Piñata II Missile Launchers being tested by Kestrel Technologies, the Dreadnought is equipped with several Swarmfire Missile Launcher Assemblies in order to simulate the use of a full-salvo attack. Several enlarged racks of these missiles are located both on the ankles and the Dreadnought's backpack. If needed, they can be purged.

- 80mm Autocannon: Derived from the same Autocannons seen on the Majestic II and III, this high-powered weapon is most effective at close range and used in moderation. It is mounted on the left forearm, and fed by an external magazine.

- 200mm Prototype Hi-Impact Cannon: Based off of the 200mm Artillery Gun, the Hi-Impact Cannon was an attempt to compact the size of the powerful weapon. Mounted on a simple sub-arm attached to the backpack, the cannon swings out from under the right arm, allowing for the Dreadnought to hold the weapon with one hand. When firing, the cannon features a recoilless barrel, reducing the amount of strain the weapon places on the Dreadnought's joints.

- 40mm Chain-Fed Custom ASU: In order to test the potential of an extended-use automatic weapon, the Dreadnought is armed with a 40mm rifle fitted with an ammunition belt connected to the backpack. With over 24,000 rounds loaded into an internal ammunition drum, the Dreadnought can fire this weapon almost indefinitely until fully depleted. When not in use, the rifle can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

- Anti-Armor Blade: In the event the Dreadnought must engage in close-quarters combat, it is equipped with an Anti-Armor Blade.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Prototype LANDSTRIKE ZERO System: Using data gathered from the four Castel Armor Types developed by Castel Industries, the Dreadnought is equipped with an improved version of the LANDSTRIKE ZERO. It provides ample protection even in this highly experimental form.

- Prototype Heavygun System: This early version of the Heavygun System still retains the finalized version's ability to automatically target locked enemies, though is still in an extensive calibration process.
MESS-S1bA-008 Megahammer

## Standard Armaments

### Fixed

- 2x 100mm Upper-Arm Recoilless Cannons- 2x 300mm Railguns (Round sizes may vary)

### Handheld

- Telescopic Rocket Hammer (Megahammer Custom)

The MESS-S1bA-008 Megahammer is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Megahammer’s blend of both close and ranged weapons allow it to quickly adapt to different situations, albeit better than its sister unit the Juggernaut. The 100mm Recoilless Cannons on each of the Megahammer’s shoulders are used to make space for both the 300mm Railguns and for wielding the Telescopic Rocket Hammer, thus allowing for a quick deployment time. Their spring-loaded rails also allow for a reduced stagger when the weapons are fired.

## History

Megahammer is an Experimental CQC Unit developed by the ADJM along with the similarly designed MESS-S1bC-004 Juggernaut, that can deal heavy amounts of damage with large melee weapons. Unlike its sister unit, however, the Megahammer had a blend of both ranged and melee weapons, giving it an advantage against specialized units that adhere to a specific class. It also had a set of heavy armor that could ensure its survivability in combat. Despite having this well balanced equipment set, the Megahammer was never developed into a significant upgrade, though it has been noted to have inspired the weapon set of the Castel Heavy Armor Type, aka the Heavyarms.

## Trivia

- The Utility Claw was developed after the Megahammer lost its left arm in combat, forcing it to use a prototype crane arm. Actually, I kinda just forgot to draw the rest of the machine and didn’t bother finishing it. Eh.

- It was based off of the main mecha of the same name from the scrapped Thunderheart AU (Alternate Universe) of Unition 2584.

## Summary

The Decholon Garrisai Defense Corps, or DGDC, is the mainline military force of the nation of Decholon following the Harbinger Uprising. Forged from the parts of the Lance Core Remnants and Unscathed Neo-Insurrectionists, it served as the spiritual successor of the Lance Core Defensive Military. Its re-combination of these two divided factions meant initial years were rocky in cooperation. However, cooperative efforts made between the leaders of each of the Groups, Alexander Baltimore and Katherine Isakura, mitigated some of these conflicts. Beginning in the summer of 2585, the DGDC's first obstacle in a reformed Decholon was the spread of the [Project: Red Hornet] Invasion.

## History

By establishing the Garrisai mobile weapon as the main weapons system for the Decholon military, focuses towards development of these machines were made. However, this development process would be short lived, due to the invasion of Project Red Hornet. Because of its basis in AI technology, much of the project's data was corrupted in the invasion. Thus, the DGDC had to resort to the since-retired machines from the Harbinger Uprising in order to fight back. However, the true resistance towards Red Hornet's machines was from prototype machines fielded by the recently surfaced Instruments of the Reforged Society.

## Notes and Trivia

- The DGDC was the original name of the main military force of Decholon. Thus, it ended up being the perfected version of the LCDM several years later, as to justify the usage of Garrisai in modern military operations.
MESS-S1bC-007 Juggernaut

The MESS-S1bC-007 Juggernaut is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger* Universe.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Being the Garrisai to kick off the Ballistic-based b-line of AEGIS, the Juggernaut was as simple as melee classes went. Armed with a body shield, spiked knuckles, and a massive sword known as the Giga-Claymore, the Juggernaut was excellent at both absorbing and dishing out damage at close range. However, because of the machine’s heavy armor, the Juggernaut was very slow when charging into combat, meaning that Harbinger GTs were often deployed alongside this machine to escort it into the battlefield. It would eventually go on to share the battlefield with its more situation adaptable sister unit, the Megahammer.

## History

The Juggernaut was deployed against the Celestial Vanguard up until the end of the Interstellar Era in 2431, in which it was vaulted away until it was needed again. Its blueprints and combat data, however, was acquired by the DTRO and brought about the development of the Juggernaut GT during the First Age of Mass Production.

## Trivia

- As one of the original 15 Garrisai units only second to Drax, the Juggernaut has had a long history of developments in the Harbinger-2584 and Harbinger-LEGACY stories.

- Variants of the Juggernaut have also appeared as ace units in both stories, with a Pacific Rim-Inspired one being used by Alex in 2584, and another custom one being used by Dominic in LEGACY under the name Arodnight.
LXR-002 Metro Cyclops

- Metro-Grade Transform Frame

- 2x Piñata Missile Silos

- 2x 500mm MPNCs

- 2x Nanolaminate Custom Shields

The LXR-002 Metro Cyclops is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Century's End Novel. It is piloted by Julia Metrovic.*

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Metro Cyclops is a cross between a prototype atLAS MP-T from the First Age of Mass Production, and Miia Deltavi’s Firestorm. Seen as the ultimate presentation of heavily armored firepower, the machine still retains elements of the Transform Frame of the atLAS II. However, it has been fitted with the combat data of the Firestorm to replicate the legendary machine. Because it is based on the Firestorm, its paint scheme consisted of gunmetal with crimson red decals.

## Special Equipment and Features

- M-GTF: The Metro Cyclops can transform into an armored tank form through the repurposed frame of the atLAS II. In addition to the "seated position" sequence of the transformation, the torso was given additional joints to allow it to lower closer to the ground for a streamlined profile. The head unit is also capable of lowering into the chest, keeping the H-STS protected under the barrel of the 500mm MPNC.

- Sudo-Transform: When in robot mode, the Metro can deploy the lower calf treads for additional traction when moving on the ground. They also act as stabilizers should the 500mm MPNC need to be fired outside of tank mode. They also assist the Metro in lowering into tank mode.
Institute of Archival Development

## History

Long before the events of the Interstellar Era, the nation of Armeli had found a mineral capable of being processed into an energy source, which was powerful enough to keep machines ten times more efficient. This clean energy resource was quickly monopolized on by the Armeli Government, who began to distribute it to the rest of the alliance, making themselves incredibly rich. In order to properly distribute this energy source, the invention of the Ichor Core was born.

NU METACOM

## Summary

The NU METACOM System, or [v] Metaphysical Compressor, is a Celestial Vanguard Control System adapted by the DTRO. Being an overall improvement of the METACOM System, it allowed for a pilot to connect to a Garrisai in such a way that their thoughts linked directly with a Garrisai's control systems. This meant that manually controlling a machine, even if it wasn't a Garrisai, would not be needed. While the METACOM correlated the thoughts of pilots with generalized tasks to make more dynamic attacks, the NU METACOM frees the pilot of having to do anything other than think what they want the Garrisai to do. The System also allowed for heightened and even superhuman senses of the pilot when in use, as the Celestial Vanguard's pilots performed at a similar level when their control system was operating. Its design usually consisted of a wired headset with a metal "spine" hanging from the back. Each of the spine's segments had a delicate needle protruding from its surface, and was intended for the user to inject the spine into their back. Because of how sensitive these materials were, the application of the headset was often done by scientists on the pilot before connecting to a Garrisai.

## History

After a Celestial Strider (shot down from Decholon) crashed into the small state of Nu Helix, researchers discovered a system similar to the METACOM System, but was far more advanced than what they had designed. Shortly after, scientists developed a mock system that allowed for a pilot to control subconscious systems far more effectively than remote systems.
LXR-002 Striker Ballista

The LXR-002 Striker Ballista is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Century's End* Novel. It is piloted by Lance Martini.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Similar to the atLAS M-PT it was based on, the Metro Cyclops was removed of its thruster nodes to divert most of its power to the transformation and weapons management systems. As a result, its designers took advantage of its tank treads through the form of the Sudo-Transform System, which allowed it to stay agile despite not having thrusters. With less power diverted to the mobility of the machine, it made for a faster transformation sequence and quicker reaction times between weapon selection. Even while it is a primarily a long-range marksman unit, the Metro Cyclops can still participate in medium-range firefights should the need arise.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Transform Frame: The Striker Ballsita can transform into an armored tank form through the repurposed frame of the atLAS II. In addition to the "seated position" sequence of the transformation, the torso was given additional joints to allow it to lower closer to the ground for a streamlined profile.

- Sudo-Transform: When in robot mode, the Striker can deploy the lower calf treads for additional traction when moving on the ground.
How to Create a Garrisai ID Number (Universal Standard)

This short guide will help you in writing the ID number of any Garrisai. Many of the ID numbers you may see on Garrisai can be confusing as to what they mean, so hopefully this will help you in understanding them. You can even try writing them yourself!

## Setup

### 1. Frame

First, we start with the internal frame type. Before the frame, add LS#/ if it uses the LANDSTRIKE System, or BR#/ if it uses the BURSTRAID System. For the Buster Harbinger and Landbuster Harbinger, add BP/ before the frame. For the Sapphire Chariot's Calypsostrike Armor, add CS/.

- MESS Frame: MESS (Mobile-Exosuit Surfacebound System)

- Revolta Frame: RSF (Revolta Standard Frame)

- Castel Frame: CSF (Castel Standard Frame)

- Project Resurga Frame: ESU (Experimental Specialty Unit)

- Arcandy Frame: ACF (Arcandy Compact Frame)

- Omega Frame: OA (Omega Armories)

- New Age Foundry Frame: NAF (New Age Foundry

- Project Resurga Frame [Redux Ver.]: LXR (Lassiter Experimental Redux)

- SABRE Program: SP (SABRE Program)

Split with a hyphen.

### 2. Series

Next, add the series. Each Garrisai Project runs on a different kind of series, shown below.

- MESS: S1 (Series)

- Revolta: MKI-MKIV (Mark)

- Castel: S3 (Series)

- Resurga: S4 (Series)

- Arcandy: V1-V3 (Variant)

- Omega: MKII (Mark)

- New Age: S5 (Series)

- Redux: N/A

- SABRE: N/A

### 3. Edition

The edition of Garrisai comes after. If it is a Project Resurga Unit or New Age Foundry Unit, the edition is automatically x.

- a-d (keep lowercase)

### 4. Class

Add the Class. If it uses the NU METACOM System, add /NU after the class. Then, if it is a limited production unit, add the code /LP00, /LP01, etc. Add a 2 after these if it is an overhauled Unit. If it is a Project Resurga Unit, it may not have a designated class.

- A-Class: "Attacker." Specializes in crowd control and frontline combat. High speed, medium power, low armor.

- B-Class: "Defender." Specializes in consistent backline damage. Medium speed, medium power, medium armor.

- C-Class: "Striker." Specializes in high, single-target damage. Low speed, high power, medium armor.

- D-Class: "Supporter." Specializes in general territory management. Medium speed, low power, high armor.

- F-Class: "Special." Created for an incredibly specialized role. Only found on the Harbinger.

Split with a hyphen.

### 5. Number

Finally, add the number. Mass-Production Units and Ace Units will be on separate number tracks.

- 001-999 (Pretty much goes on forever)

Swords of the Maverick

## Summary

The Swords of the Maverick was a Military Dictatorship created by Dominic "Dom Ramirez that illegally ruled over the nation of Decholon from winter of 2584 to early spring of 2585. It was composed of former soldiers and personnel from the original three factions of the Harbinger Uprising--the Lance Core Remnants, Mercury Legion, and Unscathed Neo-Insurgency. Being deemed far more unstable and harsh compared to the works of the Mercury Legion, the period involving the Swords of the Maverick's rule was called by many as "The Coldest Winter."

## History

Following the perceived final battle of the Harbinger Uprising, a coup d'etat launched by Lance Core Remnants pilot Dominic Ramirez prevented the original government from taking back control of Decholon. After several influential speeches made by Ramirez, as well as many soldiers' intolerance of their current factions, they all formed under Ramirez's own faction, the Swords of the Maverick. Only one notable member would join this faction under Dom--former Mercury Legion pilot (and incredibly unstable) Chelsea Ferguson.

Ramirez was quick to take control of the nation's capital of Draco, as it was essentially unguarded after the defeat of the Mercury Legion's leader, Jack Kendall. Disposing of just about every ace and leader of the three factions in the Harbinger Uprising, he went uncontested when taking the role of the new Prime Minister. However, Ramirez would transform the nation into his own Military Dictatorship, in which the remaining cities were immediately subject to the soldiers that were thought to have been fighting for Decholon's freedom. The forces that survived Ramirez's coup would assemble months later into a second uprising as the Legacy Team.

Arcandy & Co.

## History

When the rumors of Project Resurga were leaked to the public with the sighting of the Garrisai Majestic, some companies wanted to try and hitch a ride on the tailcoats of the DTRO. Proposing their brand new Arcandy Compact (Efficient) Core, it was designed to use short bursts of chemical reactions between Ichor and Dechalus that would provide the exact amount of power needed to power a Garrisai’s systems, resulting in a consistent charge. The DTRO promptly greenlit the integration of Arcandy into their military, as the almost MESS-like performance ideal was in line with the logic of Project Resurga. A prototype of a reactor running this core was built, though it was never put into an actual machine. Until then, its blueprints remained untouched until they were stolen by Samantha Jenkins of the soon-to-be UNI.
