Devas and Asuras

Humanoid combat systems are an extensive part of the modern battlefield. One reason for this is that they are very simple to control, requiring only basic orientation to use.

All mecha have stats like a human, which add to the stats of their pilots as indicated.

Stats

Movement (Grace): How good a moving, speed and agility the unit is

Gunnery (Perception): How accurate the unit's weapons are

ECM (Knowledge): The units electronic battle qualities

Reaction System (Smarts): How responsive the units controls are

Melee (Power): How good at hitting and smashing up close the unit is

Asuras

Asuras are small armours ranging from half a ton to four tons in weight. They are often used by rapid response teams, SWAT units and in ship to ship boarding actions. While not as powerful as a Devas, they are extremely agile, and small enough to fit into most areas.

Devas

Devas are larger devices weighing up to one hundred tons. They are heavily shielded and armoured, capable of absorbing large amounts of punishment, they are fast and very agile for their size, though not compared to the smaller Asuras. Devas often make up the first wave of an orbital drop, or clash around the edges of a capital ship duel, before closing to deliver overwhelming fire to enemy battleships and carriers.
