SolFed
Solar Federation Space Force
Marida A2
Primary Operator: SFSF
Role: mass production orbital
Fixed Armament
- 2 linear gun (head)
- 1 beam saber (right hip)
- 3-slot grenade rack (left hip)
Notes
The Marida is the Solar Federation's current front line mass production mobile suit and of all its myriad variants, the SFSF's orbital use Marida A2 and A3 variants are the most common. A well designed, well rounded and perhaps most importantly, technically mature unit, its performance in all key metrics is at least equal if not superior to any opposing force it is likely to encounter in significant numbers.
Solar Federation Army/Airforce
Marida B
Primary Operator: SFAA
Role: mass production terrestrial
Fixed Armament
- 2 modular mission pod hardpoint (head)
- 1 beam saber (right hip)
- 3-slot grenade rack (left hip)
- more hardpoints!
Notes
Long relegated to second fiddle when it came to its share of the military acquisitions budget, the planetary wing of the the SolFed military has been acquiring its own B and C variant Maridas for terrestrial and atmospheric operating environments. The B variant is equipped to handle a wide variety of terrain and gravitational conditions and is inherently a tougher suit than the A variants as it is almost never issued with a shield. Head mounted linear cannons are also replaced with modular mission pod hardpoints (usually direct-fire cannon armament on one side and something else in the other).
Marida D
Primary Operator: SFNM
Role: mass production amphibious/gas giant
Notes
The longest Marida variant in coming and by far the most sophisticated from an engineering perspective, the Marida D goes far above and beyond the mundane requirement of operation in Earthlike waters. Featuring robust environmental controls, radialogical and electromagnetic flux hardening and a condensed graviton pressure balance system, Marida D can operate in incredibly hostile environments that have nevertheless proven militarily important in the past, such as the upper layers of gas giants. Its main fixed armament are shoulder mounted heavy pods for missiles or torpedoes.
INTACT
Tenshi Corp
Verge Polities
White Rose Kingdom
Bharat Commonwealth
Republic of Cygnus
League of Outer Stars
Type 11 Raptor
Primary Operator: League
Role: mass production mobile doll
Notes
As a mobile doll, the Type 11 Raptor lacks a cockpit or any of the protections and systems associated with keeping a human alive in space. The balance of empty space is filled with additional energy cell capacity and propellant tanks. In combat, the AI makes full use of its ability to sustain high G forces constantly making it notoriously difficult to target with certain weapons systems. In flight, the Raptor's unusual silhouette is easily recognizeable and is a result of its ability to fold neatly into a roughly triangular package. League ships typically launch groups of six at a time from hexagonal linear catapults.
