Mastodon

[History, Units, War]

(Mastodon Banner, by GJ)

During the year 3330, Mammoth Jack organized a new elite unit called Mastodon to serve in defense of the interests of the Society of Cogwerk Planets and in particular, to combat the threats of the Pirate King and later of General Aemilianus of the Hegemony, in its attack on the border sectors that separate the Hegemony from SoCP.

Mastodon was heavily nurtured by elite volunteers from the 1st Cavalry Division of the SoCP Mech forces and the Legionnaires of Galactic Trade.

As this unit was created shortly after the Crimson Guard, has been considered by some as continuators of the rivalry between Duke Crimson and Mammoth Jack.

For the most part, this elite unit is composed of numerous high-tech BFM class Mechs piloted by experienced veterans of numerous conflicts fought against pirates, mercenaries and the armies of the Shogunate and the Hegemony, resulting in a really hard and effective House-Clan.

In his military expeditions, Mastodon has lived up to his name, using among his favorite tactics the frontal assault, which according to the testimony of various military observers, have resulted of an unstoppable efficiency.

Mammoth Jack himself has an effective escort of members of this clan, ready to trample any menace to their Commander, if necessary.

The first Mech design

[Mech Technology]

The original Red Ant design

The eminent engineer of the rising Shogunate, Dr. Han, was the first scientist to experiment seriously on Mech technology for war purposes.

His creativity and the ambitiousness of his proposals made him fall in disgrace before his former leaders of the Shogunate, who turned him into a pariah.

To save his life and to continue his research, he took refuge in a distant mining prospecting, under the protection of the Radix tribe, a plebeian house of certain power among the members of the Illyrian confederation, which later became the Hegemony. There he helped the Illyrian engineers to develop efficient mining prospecting machines, whose real potential hid that of his original project of a combat Mech.

The moment to put an end to his work, came through the confrontation between the Illyria Confederation and the Empire of Sol because of the excessive taxes that Sol imposed on the galactic colonies.

During his research and development for the creation of the new weapon, this was the first design concept of what would be the Red Ant, which was the result of the cooperative development between his studios and the Radix engineers, using the original project made for his first company, in the Shogunate and that it would never be approved by its old and little visionary leaders.

After new changes in search of greater effectiveness and combat efficiency, the original project would undergo some changes before seeing the light in the year 3087, in which it received its baptism of fire in the battle of the markets, in which the Confederation Illyria obtained his independence from the Sun Empire, cementing the foundations of his current power as one of the three Major Powers.

It is rumored that Dr. Han was recruited by the mysterious Craftsmen to the overwhelming success of his creation, who protected the Doctor with anonymity but giving him the opportunity to unleash his most brilliant creations.

Despite the long time elapsed, (more than 250 years) it is also believed that Dr. Han has received genetic treatments to prolong his longevity, no doubt, thanks to the immense fortune and resources of the Craftsmen.

Pike

[Mech Technology]

After a period of decline and an effort to recover the industry and infrastructure damaged by the civil war, the Shogunate decided to address the creation of their first BFM class Mech to return to the front row in the political and strategic scenario of the galaxy.

Their opportunity came with the development of a daring design of a generalist Mech, able to take advantage of any arsenal loaded with great proficiency and that would quickly lure the interest of the mercenary pilots as soon as it was released, who saw it as reincarnation of the Torrent between the class of the Behemoths, or Big Fighting Machines, the BFM.

Also called as "Stormakers", the Pike are able to cast an incredible threat on the opponent's Mechs through their Fork, Wide Fork and all the existent overload capacitors, fed by the Stormspin’s systems, allowing them to cause an infernal rain increasing the damage of the arsenal up to nine times.

Simultaneously, they are equipped with a shell capable of withstanding damages similar to those they can trigger, protecting them against the effects of Fork and Widefork.

Among the many other features and capabilities offered by the Pike, it is worth mentioning an aim assistance system, not only capable of triggering an infernal rain on the opponent, but also to make high precision shots that can deactivate the opponent with a single strike.

Over time, Pike has become one of the most powerful Mechs, competing for the honor of the best of the top five, for the pride of the Shogunate and its manufacturer, AlphaCorp.
