LANDSTRIKE

The LANDSTRIKE System is an armor-based technology developed for Project Resurga that consists of a network of layered armor plates, meant to reinforce a Garrisai's existing armor complement for added defense. A total of seven variants of the LANDSTRIKE were developed, each of which fulfilled a specialized role.

## Variants

- LANDSTRIKE ZERO (LS0/): The prototype version of what would become the limited-production LANDSTRIKE System. Based off of the multi-layered armor of the AEGIS Program’s Dreadnought, this external set of armor was fitted with a compensating thruster kit to account for the added weight. Only four prototypes were constructed, using the Castel Ground Type as a base. Because of the high production cost used to produce ZERO, it was decided that a cheaper “purging” armor system was to be used instead. Initially used by the Urban Dreadnought and the Hammerhead, it would also find a unique use by Alex Baltimore's Harbinger Legacy, in which it utilizes a unique purging system similar to the LS1.

- LANDSTRIKE (LS1/): The base version of the LANDSTRIKE, and a simplified version of LANDSTRIKE ZERO. Compared to the fixed state of ZERO, the normal LANDSTRIKE consists of a set of detachable Nanolaminate plates, all of which require the assistance of a Citadel hangar to attach. Also unlike ZERO, the Garrisai using the LANDSTRIKE can purge the armor at any time. All 195 of these systems were converted into one of the two general-production versions of the LANDSTRIKE: SIGNA and INSTAMA. Essentially a combat-tailored version of the protective cover system used by Garrisai during vehicular transport.

- LANDSTRIKE SIGNA (LS1a/): The variant of the LANDSTRIKE indented for use by Castel Ground Types to become the LS1/CSF-S3b Castel Heavy Ground Type. Features two side shoulder-mounted twin 100mm HAMGs, and an Anti-Armor Hammer. Was manufactured in large amounts during the First Age of Mass-Production, with 150 of these systems produced in total.

- LANDSTRIKE INSTAMA (LS1b/): 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.

- LANDSTRIKE KAI (LS1c/): A prototype variant of the LANDSTRIKE that never made it to the mass-production phase. Features the prototype 60mm Automatic Cannon "Lance Rifle," two integrated Swarmfire Missile Launchers, and a six-tube Striker Missile Pod. Unlike the other versions of LANDSTRIKE, this is the only one to contain a full-body internal frame, removing the need of external assistance when equipping the armor. Only one copy of this variant has been known to have been produced, located in Minerva Base and used by Alexander Baltimore's LANDSTRIKE Harbinger.

- MASTERSTRIKE (LS2/): Discovered by UNI Leader Marie Winhart and held in the Vault of Storms, this upgraded form of the LANDSTRIKE ZERO features a more advanced hardware fit for integrated weapon compatibility. Additionally, it features specially segmented armor joints to allow for more dynamic movement in spite of its alleged bulk. It is most prominently used on Miia Deltavi's Firestorm.

- CALYPSOSTRIKE (LS3/): Based off of the LANDSTRIKE KAI concept from the Harbinger Uprising, this self-standing armor set is fitted with an onboard CNS (Chariot Network Suppressor) Drive, built exclusively for the prototype Sapphire Chariot.
