Weapons Systems:
All:
Two forearm three-taloned anti-mecha claws.
Two talons on each foot.
Shock Trooper:
Two plasma pulse cannons on the shoulder; fires annihilation discs, each shot has 3 MJ thermal energy, or a with a total of 4.5 MJ of thermal energy in three smaller disks; fires at the rate of 16 discs or 11 bursts per minute per gun.
Note: The cannons have a plasma supply for 45 seconds of continuous firing. When exhausted, this supply regenerates through storage of plasma that was generated but not fired because of sub-maximal firing rate.
Electonics:
Visual (low spectral resolution) capable of up to 4x magnification. Night vision optics are also provided, but suffer even more from the poor spectral resolution.
Protoculture Sensors, providing detection and tracking of active Protoculture-powered turbines. For detection of a high-power Veritech Fighter (such as an Alpha), good resolution extends out to 1km, fair resolution out to 2km, and poor resolution out to 5.6km. A typical Destroid is detectable at slightly more than half these distances, a Cyclone at four percent of these distances, and a Gallant rifle at about one percent of these distances. Similar mecha in service with the Regis from around 2035 to around 2040 operated equivalently at about twenty-five percent of the above ranges. Prior to around 2035, no Invid mecha were mounted with protoculture sensors.
External audio pickup
Short-range ultrasonic motion trackers.
Armor:
Armor is metallic, ceramic, organic composite.
