Design: Invid
Builder: Invid
Operator:
Served with the Invid (? to ?)
Dimensions:
Height: 2.3 meters
Depth: 0.7 meters
Breadth: 1.2 meters
Mass: 0.23 metric tons
Propulsion Systems:
Powerplant:
Unknown.
Fuel Capacity: 1 standard canisters of protoculture
Endurance and Mobility Limits:
Flying Speed: 321 kph
Running Speed: 48 kph
Protoculture cell endurance is approximately 20 to 30 hours of continious combat usage
Offers full protection from NBC environment as well as ? days air supply
Weapons Systems:
forearm-mounted anti-personnel laser cannons (2): Each shot delivers 30 kJ of laser energy. Capacitors have a 0.75 second recharge cycle for a firing rate of 75 shots/minute/cannon.
Bazooka-type plasma rifle. Shoots 800 kJ of thermal energy per salvo. Firing rate is one shot per 3.75 seconds. Weapon fires beams, and not annihilation discs.
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 300 m, fair resolution out to 600 m, and poor resolution out to 1.7km. 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.
Audio speaker system with built-in translator
Armor:
Armor is metallic, ceramic, composite.
Energy Shield. A 1.2 diameter metal shield with a force field; maximum standoff energy, 3 MJ, replenishing at a rate of 30 kW. This shield makes the already-underpowered Malar more power-intensive.
