The LS1b/CSF-S3cB/LP01-012 Fortress Vendetta is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel. It is piloted by Miia Deltavi.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

Developed from the Cyclops Ground Types of the LCDM, the Vendetta’s Fortress Pack was designed as a heavy assault system capable of fighting over long periods of time without needs to repair or reload. In order to achieve this, Miia's captured Cyclops GT was outfitted with an outer layer of exo-armor for extra defense, as well as a pair of sub-arms that could hold large shields for protection. Along with this, an additional pair of shields could be mounted over the forearms, bringing the total count of shields to four.

The Vendetta, in this form, retains much of its original functionality when it was a standard Artillery Unit, thus explaining the large overhead artillery cannons mounted on its shoulders. Its extra armor plates were added to increase its defensive capabilities, which the original Cyclops lacked. Thus, it allowed for the Garrisai to operate in even medium and close-quarters situations. On top of this, the sub-arms automatically controlled by a remote system each hold a large shield, allowing for the Garrisai to steadily push through incoming firepower with ease.

## Armaments

- Nanolaminate Standard Shields: Each of these large shields are capable of taking even the strongest of explosive blasts, though excessive amounts of heat and gunfire can burn through them. Each one contains a Swarmfire missile pod, which can be fired when the shield is horizontally faced towards a target.

- 300mm Enhanced HPNCs: These souped up versions of the standard 300mm HPNCs trade accuracy for power. Each cannon contains three internally-stored rounds, which are devastating at any range. These guns rest above the shoulders at all times, and rotate downwards when primed. Their notably high recoil is due to an overload in power directed to the rounds, similar to the designs of the 500mm “Hypersonic” Railgun seen on its Hunter Pack. In order to safely fire, the Vendetta must be in its Shelling Mode.

- 100mm Heavy Antimateriel Guns: Using a stolen design from the LCDM, the Mercury Legion was able to produce their own line of HAMGs. They packed a similar firepower to the guns they were based on, with the added improvement of replaceable magazines in each of the barrels. This allowed for a longer use time since the original HAMGs would have a set amount of rounds before running out.

- Swarmfire Missile Pods: These larger capacity versions of the Swarmfire Missile Silos ensure a decent blast with the amount of material in them. They provide a decent amount of offensive capabilities, and can even be used as a disruption device to ward off enemies. After the tube-like vessel is fired off, the swarm of missiles can be fired from out of the vessel through remote activation and targeting. One is mounted in each of the four shields, as well as two built into each of the knees.

- Striker Missile Pods: These larger missiles are for hitting a large group of enemies all at once, or a structure large enough to warrant the notably large blast it makes. There are four missiles total on the Garrisai, with two being mounted in each side skirt armor. Additional missiles can be stored and fired from the backpack storage section.

- 6-Barrel Minigun: The Cyclops' primary weapon, which dishes out hundreds of rounds in minutes. The rounds are 60mm, fed from a drum magazine mounted on the back of the Garrisai. It is developed from the Urban Dreadnought’s “Cascade” Cannon.

- Anti-Armor “Wraze” Waraxe: A modified version of the Waraxe used by Revolta Ground Types of the same name. It is mounted on the rear skirt armor when not in use, and is only effective in close-quarters situations.

## Special Equipment and Features

- LANDSTRIKE INSTAMA: The LANDSTRIKE INSTAMA System provides an extra layer of defense, and in the case of it becoming heavily damaged or unneeded, it is able to be purged and allow for a faster movement speed.

- Supply Backpack: This large storage system contains many of the rounds used by the Vendetta, including spare Striker Missiles, Antimateriel Rounds and Minigun Drum Magazines. Additional fuel for the thruster kit is also stored and fed from here.

- Shelling Form: The Vendetta clasps its hands together in front of it, allowing for its two Forearm Shields to rotate vertically and shield the body of the Garrisai. After entering a kneeling position, the two 300mm Cannons will rotate above its shoulders, resting near or on the deployed shields. After the sub-arm shields position themselves on the sides of each Cannon, the Vendetta enters its shelling form. In this form, it can safely fire its 300mm Guns without potentially harming the internals of the Garrisai or compromising its safety from enemies attacking it. Of course, this form limits the ability for the mech to actually retaliate against said forces.

## History

After a Cyclops Artillery Unit was captured by the Mercury Legion during the second Armeli Invasion, it was granted to Miia Deltavi by Jack Kendall to use it as her personal Garrisai. Under his command, the Cyclops was fitted with a large number of heavy weapons, meant to neutralize the military forces stationed on Decholon. Known as the A-Pack, this was supposed to be a late game changer that made control of Decholon much easier. After the invasion, the Cyclops performed regular patrols over the island, though its large weapons and extra armor were detached as to conserve the amount of fuel being used. This was how the Cyclops remained until word of LCR presence began to arise. Thus, it donned its A-Pack once again to deal with the threat. After the LCR's first sortie against them, the Mercury Legion equipped the Cyclops with its B-Pack loadout.

## Trivia

- The Fortress Vendetta is similar to the Kshatriya of Gundam Unicorn.
