The first Esperancan Combat Frame used in the war, the Puma was a well balanced design that matched up well with foreign designs. Based off of schematics stolen from Kanon and Che that were then improved by a team of engineers, the Puma's defining feature was its forced-fusion reactor and hardpoint, giving it an impressive range of flexibility. Exported from Esperanca to numerous other PACT and independent states, the version seen here is the war-era update of the venerable Puma in use by the EFE, the Puma-E. The Puma-E is an improvement on the original Puma's strengths: The Microfusion propulsion system has been replaced by a more powerful Forced-Microfusion system, the original Phase-Shift Laminate has been upgraded to the new Trans-Phase armor, and the Pulse gun was replaced with a Synchronous model.

The Puma was originally insulted by Core and Zodiac detractors alike, claiming that Esperanca didn't have the experience to make a combat-capable frame. The Puma's actions in the immediate pre-war era, especially in the numerous border skirmishes between the EFE and *Insert Che's Military Here* proved the detractors wrong, and the Puma served as the basis for numerous other PACT Combat Frames.

In 2186, the continuing souring of relations between ZOCU and the Core over financial issues, and UNASUR's anger at the repeated refusals of Che's leadership to remove its military forces from the planet of Cabarellas(renamed Malvinas by Che) and allow free elections, were quickly spiraling out of control. It looked as though war would break out at any given moment, and the Espaça Federal found its Puma model Combat Frame to be sorely lacking against the newer, more modern frames being deployed by Che. With the prospect of war on the horizon, a solution was needed to not only even the playing field with Che, but to ultimately surpass them. The first result of this project was the CF-86 Ocelot, which was an improvement over the Puma in all areas.

The Ocelot utilizes the same basic chassis of the earlier Puma, with increases in armor, maneuverability, and flexibility. The original Ocelot featured numerous advances in design, including a more robust frame that was actually more flexibile than the Puma's smaller frame, giving it greater melee capacity. The Current model of the Ocelot, the Ocelot-E, is a complete refit of the frame, replacing the Microfusion propulsion with Forced Microfusion propulsion from the Jaguar, Trans-Phase Shift Armor, and a new Synchronous Pulse Gun.

The first postwar combat frame designed on Esperança, the CF-95 Jaguar is the culmination of over a decade of Combat Frame development that started with the Puma. Over a meter taller than the Puma, the Jaguar was the first frame designed from the ground up with the results of the Native Dancer Project: an entirely redesigned Forced Fusion reactor(specially designed for the Jaguar, in order to compete with the Sarissa), Forced Microfusion Propulsion, Trans-Phase Laminate Armor, a Flash-Field Generator, and a Synchronous Beam Rifle. The Jaguar, because of it's technological advancement, is on the expensive side of things.

In comparison to the mecha it is most likely to encounter on the battlefield, The Jaguar simply outperforms them, giving in the nickname of "The Expanse's only Fifth Generation Combat Frame". Initial goals of the Jaguar's design team were to match the Sarissa's Mercurion thrusters on a 1/1 basis, which were more than met by the Dual Forced Microfusion Thrusters and Dual Forced Microfusion Verniers.

Zodiac&Core Critics alike have latched onto the Jaguar as being a white elephant design that isn't worth its cost, and doesn't perform as well as EFE Propaganda says it does in actual combat.

Designed near the end of the Jaguar's design cycle, the Bear is a mid-range support frame, designed for both anti-ship and anti-mecha work. Based off the same frame as the Jaguar, the bear uses much of the same technologies as its sister frame, although it is slower than the Jaguar. The Bear's heavier armor makes up for its slowness, and it can more than hold its own against enemies with its dual shoulder-mounted Synchronous Beam Cannons.
