The RSF-MKIIIaA-006 Javelin is a Garrisai from the *Harbinger - Dead Legacy* Novel. It is piloted by Chelsea Ferguson.

## Technology and Combat Characteristics

It would seem that the only purpose of this Garrisai would be creating a scene. The Javelin is armed with rockets, and rockets alone, with really only one outcome to any unfortunate to come into contact with it. Rocket pods, silos, and launchers are scattered all over its armor, some even being built in. Being piloted by the possibly maniacal Chelsea Ferguson, there is little chance of survival once you’re spotted.

## Armaments

- CW-09 Custom Giant Rocket Launcher: The Javelin is armed with a 5-barrel rotating Missile Launcher nicknamed “Hellfire”. It launches about 5 compact missiles per second, which are fed from a back mounted belt and drum. It is a variation of the standard CW-06 Rocket Launcher, and can be used for a number of purposes. From bombing runs to frontal barrages, the weapon is incredibly deadly in the hands of Ferguson. When not in use it can be stored between the two binders of the Maelstrom Backpack Unit.

- CW-18 Tactical Shotgun: In the case of its rocket launcher becoming unavailable, the Javelin has a modified automatic shotgun for use in close-quarters. It can strike multiple enemies at one, and like the Rocket Launcher is very good at crowd control. When not in use, it can be stored on the rear skirt armor.

- Striker Missile Pods: A pair of Striker Missile Tubes are mounted on the Javelin’s side skirt armors. Each contains two large, high-explosive warheads that can deal devastating damage to any units in its relative vicinity. After being depleted, the Missile Tubes can be purged. Alternatively, a set of high-output thrusters can be attached to the side skirts, increasing mobility of the unit.

- Swarmfire Missile Pods: Six Swarmfire Missile Silos are mounted all across the body of the Javelin. While not dealing much damage individually, these missiles can be extremely powerful in a swarm—hence the name. When activated, the hatches of the silos open up, allowing for the firing of the weapon. After use, all six can be purged to lighten the machine. Even though it is usually advised that the missile pods be preserved throughout a battle, Chelsea usually prefers launching all six pods in a final attack that few survive.

- Forearm Grenade Launchers: A pair of Grenade Launchers are mounted on the forearms of the Javelin. They are very helpful in blowing off joints of Garrisai, or stunning them during combat. The weapon itself is built into the armor, and can store up to three grenades each.

## Special Equipment and Features

- Maelstrom Backpack Unit: A special backpack personally requested by Chelsea. Having a design akin to that of a jetpack, It consists of four independently-moving “arms” with multidirectional thrusters mounted on each one. After the skirt and leg armors of the Javelin launch it high into the air, the Backpack’s arms will spread out, keeping the machine hovering in the air. This would allow for the Javelin to unleash missile barrages down on any enemies below it, provided they don’t shoot it out of the sky.

- Remote Shutdown Sequence: In order to prevent the valuable combat data of the Javelin from falling into the wrong hands, the machine is equipped with a Remote Shutdown Sequence that fries its internal circuits, keeping it and its data from being used.

- Spotlight: A large spotlight is mounted on the sides of the Javelin’s head, adjacent to its Telecomms system. It provides ample visibility at night, and can even be tuned to blind enemies during a battle.

- Targeting Laser: When working in tandem with NOVA Team, the Javelin can grant this system to other pilots on the ground to laze targets for her, allowing for her to bombard the selected area.

## History

After the events of the *Last Gamble* Novel, Chelsea needed a machine to replace the Valtheræ she had used. Thus, her personal preferences were considered when two Revolta Ace Customs were given to her and Ian, resulting in the demolitions-based Javelin. Even before she was corrupted by the LES(LIE) System, her expertise in warheads and explosives earned her the nickname “Bombshell” (and not just because of her professions). The Javelin would survive all the way until the final battle of the Decholonian War, where she was bound to helping Dom (since the LES(LIE) reverted to serving the TRE(NT). In a last attempt, Chelsea’s sane self broke free of her corruption and fought back against Dom, but this led to her eventual death. This gave the Legacy Team enough time to lead a final attack against him.

## Trivia

- The Javelin's Head design slightly resembles Chelsea's Hat design.

- The very definition of a Macross Missile Massacre.
