 IPS-N
SIEGEL
Defender/Support

The Dawnline Shore is an area steeped in conflict, in both open combat and
boardroom politics. Borne from the latter and rigged together for the former,
the Siegel is the product of an unofficial, clandestine project headed by a
reformist faction of rimward IPS-N engineers, disillusioned with their
employer after its persistent cooperation with Harrison Armory’s colonial
suppression efforts. A large, bulky, yet highly mobile close-quarters
intervention frame, its role as a first responder to outmanned and outgunned
colonial resistance theaters has earned it a venerated reputation along the
Shore.
A popular (and perhaps apocryphal) frontier story details a battle in which a
rebel Siegel pilot single handedly defended his home settlement against a
battalion of Barony combined arms forces, buying enough time for a zero
casualty evacuation effort. Upon returning to the settlement, the residents
found the Siegel damaged beyond repair, yet miraculously standing upright, the
province's banner draped proudly over its shoulders. And though the pilot lay
dead inside the cockpit, the memory of his impossible victory lives on; all
Siegel frames thenceforth have been printed with a flowing cape, a garment
which has become synonymous with the frame in the Dawnline Shore.

 IPS-N
ATTILA
Striker/Defender

5009u saw the beginning of the invasion of the small nation of Valrania under
the heel of the Ghetsin Empire, the dominant imperial force on the planet
Tartarus. Noting waning morale among advisors and other members of his
council, Lord Protector Haral Thorvaldsson proudly announced that he had no
intention of letting the assimilation that befell his neighboring countries
creep a single step further into the lands of his people. Commissioning a
sturdy interdiction frame amongst his military researchers, Thorvaldsson would
assume the helm and go on to lead his forces in a number of crucial battles
that ultimately led to the retreat of the Ghetsin invading force…for now.
Imposing and stalwart, the design of the unit mounted by Thorvaldsson has
since been modified by IPS-Northstar and has entered a limited production run
to gauge public interest. Immensely sturdy, the newly christened Attila boasts
an array of extremely powerful hydraulic reinforcements to maintain combat
readiness at all times; it is said that even ultra-caliber artillery shells
will fail to force it to the ground, if they can even penetrate its adaptive
armor.

 SSC
PHAON CRESCENT
Striker

With the advent of the White Witch and Emperor, Exotic Materials was
thrust into the limelight as one of SSC’s premier development partners.
However, while certainly successful militaristically, the brutal
sterility of these platforms did not appeal to the boldest of Smith
Shimano’s regular patrons, those pilots and Lancers seeking to show off
for sport and fame as much as to enhance their combat efficacy:
Daredevils.
Starting with a standard schedule lightweight chassis, weight was kept
to a minimum to allow for maximum acceleration, torque, and
maneuverability in combat. Though lacking in the heavy armaments and
defensive options of more “reliable” line mechs such as the ever-popular
Metalmark, a series of frame-orbital blinkspace holsters and sheaths
keeps the overall weight to a minimum while allowing for a veritable
arsenal of weaponry, able to be brandished, fired, and stowed with
lightning speed. The result is a mechanized chassis with the highest
effective combat uptime of any of SSC’s models to date.
Due to prohibitively expensive manufacturing costs, reaction-dependent
defensive mechanisms, general frailty for something designed for close
to mid-range combat, as well as the overall difficulty in piloting the
frame, SSC have instituted a rigorous virtual reality test course for
prospective buyers, and refuses sale to any unable to pass. With a
rumored success rate in the single digit percentages, many an interested
combat veteran has exited these training courses shaking their head and
grumbling of the frame’s (well-documented) demands on them. EXMATs have
written this off as an “issue of pilot skill”, which has only encouraged
even more pilots to test their mettle in the pre-purchase trials as the
glory of successfully taming the Phaon Crescent generates more attention
and sales for SSC as a whole.

newest, and perhaps strangest, addition to their LUX-Iconic line of
exotic chassis. Utilizing esoteric sonic weaponry, it enables unique
vectors of both offensive and supportive combat prowess by way of a
dense network of hand-made "Resonance-class" comp-cons.
Due to the remarkable costs to outfit the eclectic and burgeoning
technology employed by the Maculineon, the frame is 100% built-to-order,
with customization directions being applied in advance by the designer
rather than post-delivery. Common customizations include the refactoring
of included weaponry and systems into non-standard instruments, such as
mech-scale guitars, conducting wands, and percussive implements. These
are, of course, combat-ready as delineated by LUX-Iconic regulations.

 HORUS
CHTHONIAN
Controller

References to the Chthonian pattern group were first observed in a highly

classified incident concerning the re-emergence of an IPS-N shipping fleet
from blinkspace at the titanic Blink Gate Rao Co. Of the seventeen
freighters that entered blinkspace at incident time, sixteen reappeared at
the destination gate without incident and within the expected fifty-three
millisecond arrival window. Ship 17, however, did not reappear with the
fleet, at least not initially.
Thirty-six seconds after the arrival of the rest of the fleet, Ship 17
re-emerged from blinkspace at the destination gate. Details beyond this
have been restricted from even high-ranking UIB officials, with only a
handful of its most eminent members being granted security clearance. The
ship appeared to have suffered an enormously extended period of weathering
and aging (minimum estimations were later deemed comparable to 140,000
years of wear and incidental meteoroid impacture), and all attempts to
establish contact with Ship 17 were met with silence. Indeed, it appeared
that no communication modules were functional at all. Stepping aboard the
ship, investigators discovered it in a state of utter disrepair and
long-suffocated mayhem. Additionally, all digital code aboard the ship
appeared to be overwritten with what would be discovered as the code for
the Chthonian p-g. There was no evidence of ship-to-ship combat or boarding
activity, which ruled out blink-interdiction piracy, but the abject
disarray that beset every deck and room of the ship indicated an
unexplainably long period of unrest among the crew, with sections of the
ship (including airlocks) seeming to have been sealed off, guarded, and
stormed over hundreds if not thousands of years.
UIB investigators failed to locate any surviving crew members, with the
vast majority of them seeming to have vanished without a trace. The only
evidence of organic material on the ship at all was limited to a small
mound of highly radioactive biomass, discovered in the engine room of Ship
17. This was where the most harrowing discovery of the incident was
uncovered. Upon thorough examination, the biomass discovered contained
remnants of human DNA; however, impossibly, the nucleobases present were
somehow overwritten with the same Chthonian p-g code that pervaded the rest
of the vessel.
The UIB has kept this code a secret with the utmost priority, but the
investigators that searched the ship, as well as the leading board members
tasked with safeguarding the Chthonian's code, have reported troubling
psychological developments, including nearly irrepressible urges to upload
it to the omninet. The UIB is working closely with GALSIM in order to
ascertain collateral minimization in the event of such an incident.

SHRIEKER
Artillery/Controller

Initially thought to be part of the Manticore p-g due to its highly

unstable energy profile, the Shrieker garnered official designation as a
unique off-shoot after several key events in the Dawnline Shore forced a
number of military organizations to give it a classification. Unnerving to
behold, the Shrieker is worse still to hear; at maximum throughput, it is
said to emit a shrieking, distorted wailing noise reminiscent of wounded,
cornered fauna. Field researchers postulate that this could be a product of
its somewhat fractured reactor structure, but this could just be wishful
thinking in lieu of any hard evidence.
In addition to the bone-chilling auditory emissions from which the frame
gains its namesake, the Shrieker has gained infamy for its distinct style
of locomotion: a frenetic, undulating scrambling of limbs that carelessly
drags the main body of the frame along the ground. An unsettling number of
battle reports involving a Shrieker sighting detail the frame’s continued
operation even after the undercarriage armor has been fully stripped,
exposing and damaging internals while shuddering violently across the
battlefield. This seemingly has no effect on the frame’s combat
capabilities.

AQUINAS

Yan Chenguang was a brilliant physicist at the forefront of research on

fluid mechanics, whose standout claim to fame (if indeed she could be said
to have just one), was her development of a theory of "parafluids", or
fluids that behave in temporally and molecularly disjointed ways when
supplied with a high amount of energy. Despite the high regard that her
discoveries brought her in the scientific community, without an as-yet
undiscovered source of the remarkable amount of energy required to
manipulate these parafluids, her theories were little more than impractical
speculation. However, Harrison Armory's well-guarded discovery of a unique
crystalline substance on the Rimward planet Wyach provided the perfect
energy source for the manipulation and containment of these parafluids.
It wasn’t long before research into tactical implementations of these
parafluids, and by extension the Wyach crystals, began to be funded by the
Armory. The result of this research is the Aquinas. The combination of the
Aquinas’s parafluid arsenal and the abilities of the Wyach crystal granted
Harrison Armory a unique opportunity to provide mechanized support in
high-variance combat situations, able to adapt and respond to nearly any
threat with little to no preparation required.

FUJITA
Controller/Support

The desire for self-sufficient meteorological platforms as a precursor to

corporate terraforming operations has skyrocketed in recent years, as
classical ground-based solutions have proven much more accurate than
orbital satellite readings. Legged frames have proven themselves time and
again in the traversal of uncharted wilderness, scouting the landscape and
monitoring weather patterns in search of locales favorable for human
survival. These mechanized platforms field cloud-seeding technology to
further modify regional weather on large scales in preparation for
colonization efforts.
The Fujita is an odd departure from Harrison Armory's typical combat
philosophy in that it was not initially created as an implement of war.
Built on an innately sturdy frame inspired by the weather modification
platforms that came before it, additional armor plating was provided in
order to survive even the heaviest of storms and most dangerous of fauna.
It was at this point that Harrison Armory began to seriously consider the
combat applications of weather alteration; it is hypothesized that
wide-network detachments of Fujitas could potentially destabilize weather
patterns for long periods on regional scales.

The IPS-N DU KANG and HORUS SENESPADA are variant frames of the Long Rim supplement’s IPS-N
ZHENG and HORUS LICH, respectively. Thus, they can be taken as alternatives to those licenses when a
pilot reaches rank II of their license, functioning as usual but with slightly different traits and CORE
SYSTEMS. ​
​
When a character reaches rank II in the relevant license, they can choose to either retain the standard
FRAME or swap to the variant version. The two are mutually exclusive. This means that someone who
takes the DU KANG/SENESPADA cannot use the standard ZHENG/LICH. Only the FRAME changes; all
other gear for the license remains the same, including the gear for rank II. ​
​
Whenever a character increases their LL, they can swap out one variant FRAME for the base version, or
vice versa. They can do this multiple times for the same license if their LL keeps increasing. ​

IPS-N Zheng Variant Frame

Go to any dive bar in the Long Rim, and you’ll see the influence of Xiong Xiaoli,
whether it’s the drinks carrying her name, or the stories told of her ingenuity and
tenacity. And how best to immortalize the tale of a legend of the Rim if not over
drinks with your comrades in arms? Such is the belief of a close-knit, tight-lipped
MSMC engineering collective wishing to raise a unique toast to their fallen friend; a
new, more personalized take on the Zheng in her honor.
The distribution of the Du Kang license and printing information has been achieved
primarily through physical, untraceable means. Discreetly modified Zheng printing
instructions feature additional and more precise information; “Verify that the
lubrication valve pressure and gyroscopic torque balancers do NOT meet the following
values, as this would result in an illegal Zheng variant unsanctioned by
IPS-Northstar.” IPS-Northstar has cracked down on the distribution of this license
whenever possible.
Utilizing a unique endoskeletal structure reliant on the regular application of
various sources of lubrication, coolant, and a reactor with an inbuilt injection
manifold, the Du Kang is a bizarre spectacle on the battlefield. The application of
these auxiliary solutions turns the Du Kang from a somewhat sluggish and
underwhelming close-quarters frame into a deceptively agile juggernaut. The creators
of the Du Kang leave a parting directive included with all instruction sets: “Please
pilot irresponsibly.”​

 HORUS
SENESPADA
Defender
HORUS Lich Variant Frame

The Senespada serves a specialized role in supplementing mercenary forces in the most
paramount and clandestine of the Voladores' asset reclamation operations. Reverse
engineered from the Lich pattern group, the forces required to keep the Senespada
temporally shackled are far greater than any structural integrity that can be
achieved practically. Speculative reports suggest that Senespada frames must be
"assembled" in the Firmament in order to reverse the effects of black-body radiation
before they can be stabilized for realspace.
Exhibiting unprecedented gravitic manipulative ability over spacetime, the Senespada
has been observed to stifle and even reverse its own flow of entropy, both causal and
acausal. Given enough time to manifest and focus, these abilities can even extend to
the environment, warping friend and foe alike. The gravity well surrounding the frame
is capable of being instantly magnified to such a degree that incoming attacks can be
"slingshotted" around the frame to provide for unpredictable angles of fire support.​
