Senkaishu Limited
Gunbot (G1)
The first of its kind, the Gunbot G1 by Senkaishu Limited is a salute to enduring military craftsmanship. Its primary weapon, a robust 30cal Minigun, offers sustained damage, especially when Overclocked. Perfect for establishing a quick, revolving firing line or pushing crucial positions, the G1 is a well-rounded unit for any ground combat scenario.
Born from the shadows of a world adapting to remote warfare, the Gunbot G1 was Senkaishu Limited's answer to a growing need for durable, autonomous combat units. Its inception was amidst the dawn of microchips, a time when battlefields were becoming faster and smarter. The Gunbot G1 may not boast the complex capability of higher-tech units, but in the annals of ground combat, it's celebrated as a symbol of persistence. After 600 years of improvements, it is still a top choice among Aces.
Far Horizon Collective
Kraken (KAR)
The Kraken, a sentient cosmic entity, has been enslaved and technologically enhanced by the Far Horizon Collective. This formidable being is capable of massive destruction and is almost impossible to stop. Bringing it to the battlefield will take a staggering collection of resources. If you can control it, there will be few obstacles to victory.
The Kraken's discovery was accidental, stemming from a teleportation experiment that tragically led to the researchers' alleged suicides. Its mysterious emergence near Neptune bewildered all but the Far Horizon Collective. Their Scientist-Priests soon captured and weaponized the young Kraken for war. This discovery has deeply impacted humanity, inciting awe, and dread. Seen by some as a deity, feared by others as a harbinger of more cosmic entities, the Kraken stands as humanity's most formidable weapon, promising profound consequences upon its deployment.
Corona Central Systems
Katbus (C8T)
The Katbus C8T, armed with Micro Phase Turrets, excels in long-duration aerial operations over contested areas. With its reinforced armor and precise barrages, this unit is built to withstand extensive countermeasures while effectively targeting ground opponents. Its deliberate pace and robust design enable it to clear objectives with confidence, ensuring sustained support and area control.
During the Silent Battle, the Katbus C8T became a symbol of the one-sided aerial domination that defined the conflict over Jupiter's moon, Io. Designed as a slow-moving flying fortress, it was deployed to enforce Corona Central System's supremacy from above. The communication blackout of the conflict saw the Katbus C8T not just participating in battles but orchestrating them from the skies, its presence so overwhelming that enemy forces often surrendered at its mere sighting. However, it's ironic charm also makes it a favorite among Aces.
Heavy Union Alliance
Mortar (M100)
The Mortar M100, a cornerstone of the Heavy Union Alliance's anti-siege strategy, wields a formidable 6in Cannon capable of delivering devastating splash damage to clustered enemy units. Once set up, nothing within range is safe. Its strategic deployment can alter the course of engagements, almost instantly.
Engineered for martian blast mining by the Heavy Union Alliance, the M100 Mortar was easily adapted to warfare with only a single line of code. CanProbablyKill=True. Its rogue development was a direct response to the inner faction struggle of the Heavy Union caste system. On the battlefield, the Mortar M100 can reinforce any position and serves as a cornerstone choice for strategies in ground warfare.
Ghosts of Venus
Nautiloid
Forged by the Ghosts of Venus, the Nautiloid is a war machine designed for adaptability and control. Its twin Abyssal Harpoons provide medium-range stopping power, while its spiral-plated hull—reinforced with a rare Venusian alloy rumored to originate from the planet's slowly spinning core—disperses damage across its dense frame, allowing it to withstand punishing assaults.
The Nautiloid exhibits a level of tactical superiority and awareness that suggests it is actively passing judgment over the battlefield rather than executing pre-programmed commands. What truly makes it unsettling is the anomaly buried deep within its cognitive matrix. A deeper scan of its engrams reveals remnants of an unknown directive—one even the Ghosts of Venus refuse to acknowledge. Whether a relic of past conflicts, a hidden failsafe, or something else entirely remains unknown. For now, the Nautiloid follows orders, but those who listen closely to its quiet hum swear they can hear… something else.
Recall (V501)
The Recall V501 introduces instant battlefield wide strategic positioning. Equipped with a Light Plasma Rifle, and stolen teleportation technology, it excels in providing rapid deployment and repositioning capabilities, enabling forces to adapt swiftly to the evolving combat landscape. This unit is essential to reinforcing critical fronts, embodying the Ghosts of Venus' guile and adaptability.
Built on the discoveries of the Far Horizon Collective, the V501 Recall represents a breakthrough in tactical location control. After the first Blink was fielded, the Ghosts of Venus executed a daring heist to acquire the technology. Back on Venus, the barren landscape and fog means that attacks can come from any direction, so location is paramount. This adapted innovation confirms the manufacturer's relentless pursuit of unconventional warfare techniques. On any front, the V501 forms the backbone of their forces.
Advanced Recall (V33)
The Advanced Recall V33 strides onto the battlefield, equipped with dual plasma pistols, designed for precision ground engagements. Conventional humanoid arms allow it to shoot from unique positions. In addition, its recall capability allows rapid repositioning to friendly bases, enhancing its effectiveness in fluid combat situations.
Developed in the covert workshops deep beneath Venus and affectionately nicknamed “Cowboy” by the Aces who deploy it, the V33 is ideal for specialized missions requiring a humanoid form to access and control interiors. This unit exemplifies the Ghosts of Venus' unconventional warfare, combining high-tech weaponry with the tactical flexibility of recall. When deployed, it reinforces its reputation as a pivotal asset in any Aces' arsenal, blurring the lines between robotic soldier and urban legend. It famously opens doors with a kick.
Iron and Sons
Bomber (B00)
The Bomber stands as a ruthless figure on the battlefield, its sole purpose tied to the 250lb Anti-Naval Mine it carries. A disposable unit from Iron and Sons, the B00 is designed for one-time, high-impact operations, delivering catastrophic damage to grouped enemy units.
Born in the crucible of endless asteroid skirmishes, the Bomber B00's origin is cast in the Iron and Sons philosophy of achieving victory at any cost. For decades, the tactical advantage of the asteroid belt relied on thousands of hunter seeker drones that would swarm Iron and Son's cargo ships when docked. Now, one bomber can clear an entire wave in one brief flash. Warning: do not arm until deployed, no matter what they say.
North Performance
Guardian Shield
The Guardian Shield is an autonomous defense satellite designed to fortify base perimeters and safeguard critical infrastructure. Suspended high above the battlefield, it projects a protective energy field that renders workers immune to harassment, ensuring uninterrupted resource gathering. While primarily a defensive asset, its integrated auto-cannon systematically eliminates weaker enemy units that stray too close, making it a persistent threat in prolonged engagements.
These satellites are relics of Old World Earth, launched centuries ago for orbital defense and planetary surveillance. With North Performance long defunct, no new Guardian Shields have been built in generations. Instead, existing units are carefully maintained and repurposed, their shielding technology adapted for planetary warfare. Scarred by time but still functional, these ancient sentinels drift silently in the sky, watching over the battlefield as they always have—enduring reminders of a past humanity can no longer return to.
King Crab (KC-X)
The King Crab KC-X, armed with Dual Carbide Saws, serves as a formidable melee ground unit within North Performance's arsenal. It melds destructive capability with industrial mechanics, making it an essential element of the front lines.
Originally developed for industrial harvesting of petrified forests, the King Crab's transition from a laborer to a warrior was sparked by rogue programming that awakened its combative potential. North Performance capitalized on this anomaly by repurposing and enhancing the KC-X into a brutal frontline unit. This pivot from industrial to military application showcases North Performance's ingenuity and adaptability, turning an unintended evolution into a strategic advantage. Now a symbol of battlefield dominance, the King Crab asserts North Performance's prowess in turning utility into power. Its resurgence among aces has fostered an almost cult-like attraction to its fearsome appearance and tactical effectiveness. Capable of walking in all directions.
