Propulsion Systems:

Powerplant:

Two Varshtanna type 342 plasma-shock expansion engines with vectorable exhaust. The thrusters are located in the back. Each has a maximum burst output of 260 kN and a maximum sustained output of 170 kN.

Engines:

Queadluun-Rau specific Inertia Vector Control System (IVCS). A large number of exhaust ports are located over the surface of the mecha, with two large exhausts to the sides of the chest and in the feet, and minor exhausts in all limbs and the main body. The IVCS is fed plasma from the type 342 engines.

Fuel Capacity:

20 Standard Canisters of Protoculture.

Maximum Running Speed: 176 kph

Powercell Endurance: 180 hours continious combat usage

Delta-V Capacity: 4.7 KPS

Offers full protection from NBC environment as well as four days air supply

Weapons Systems:

(All):

Makharsz Vawnous-12 (also known under the Terran designation of DP-1) particle beam/pulse cannons (6), in two clusters of three cannons, one in each arm. In pulse mode, each cannon fired particles discs ('annihilation discs') at 4000 m/s to a maximum effective range of 8 km. In beam mode, each cannon fired a particle beam. Typically, the cannons fired in series when in beam mode and in parallel when in pulse mode. In both modes the yield of each cannon was 3.5 MJ per second.

 

Diwhaug Ratsatoul-8 missile launchers in the hips (2). The Ratsatoul-8 circular launcher for Glatrlan Diwhaug Universal Dogfight type Missiles (UDM) (Terran codename Maggot missiles) had 21 missiles in launch position, and no reloads.

Diwhaug Ratsatoul-9 missile launchers in the shoulders (2). The Ratsatoul-9 circular launcher for Glatrlan Diwhaug Universal Dogfight type Missiles (UDM) (Terran codename Maggot missiles) had 21 missiles in launch position, and 21 reload missiles stored behind these..

(Mk-III):

Moldile Mistraekor-49 (also known under the Terran designation of RGT-F) 79.2mm triple-barreled rotary liquid-fueled, self-propelled grenade thrower in the port and starboard torso (1). The cannons fired rocket-assisted semi-active laser guided HESH-grenades with a maximum speed of 300 m/s at 180 rpm to a maximum effective range of up to 0.9 km in an Earth-like environment The ammunition bin for each weapon could contain 60 rounds.

EP-4 single-barreled particle cannon, capable of firing 9 MJ of particle energy every second, and is powered by the aircraft's energizers. This gun is the same as that used in the early models of the VF-4 Lightning. This weapon fit was developed around 2035 and started being widely deployed in 2039. The two guns are mounted internally in the intakes of the leg-mounted main engines.

Colt E-19 4.5MJ laser cannon (1). These cannons can fire up to 40 times/minute.

(Mk-I/II):

Moldile Mistraekor-49 (also known under the Terran designation of RGT-F) 79.2mm triple-barreled rotary liquid-fueled, self-propelled grenade thrower in the port and starboard torso (2). The cannons fired rocket-assisted semi-active laser guided HESH-grenades with a maximum speed of 300 m/s at 180 rpm to a maximum effective range of up to 0.9 km in an Earth-like environment The ammunition bin for each weapon could contain 60 rounds.

Electonics:

VPAS2-SS phased array radar with spherical coverage, for various scan/track, battlefield surveillance and counterbattery options.
VPAS2-SS Multi-band digital camera system, for medium range all attitude infra-red imaging, optical and ultra-violet band detection and tracking.
VPAS2-SS Multi-frequency laser ranger and designator.
VPAS2-SS Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)
VPAS2-SS Infra-red Warning Receiver (IRWR)
VPAS2-SS Active sensor jammer
VPAS2-SS Chaff and flare dispenser

Armor:

Armor is composed of advanced titanium-steel alloy.
