Order Anti-Air Hoverdyne - O1/AAPBT-600 “Pavo”
Firepower Good Armor Medium
Health Medium Speed Good
View range Good Stealth None
Perception None Tech level 2
The O1/AAPBT-600 is
another example of
the latest Order weapon
technology that’s barely
been through a thorough
field test. The Pax Dei
have recently begun
to replace their older
Anti-Air Missile System
with the new FUR/X9
“Stryke” Lightning
Generator. The Pavo
uses the same hoverdyne
battle-proven O3-chassis
with the top module replaced. The Pavo has one single purpose, and that is to destroy
enemy aerodynes. It accomplishes this with an annoying accuracy.
Its aerodyne defeating weapon is a fixed mounted high frequency lightning generator
which literally slices incoming aerodynes. The lightning balls generated by the weapon
system seemingly homes in on the target aerodyne. However the lightning generator
requires enormous amounts of energy to operate and has been fitted with a powerful
Zephrim engine. The Lightning Generator system is according to Crayven Intelligence,
not yet completely stable and requires an intricate cooling system, which as of this
date does not work well in hot and dry regions.
The internal cooling system is it main weakness and prohibits it from being fitted
with heavy shock plates. The current design is armored with amalgam fused layers
of Polysteel-15. Due its grav engine, the Pavo is much faster and maneuverable
than most Crayven terradynes.

Order Beam Platform - O12/BT-MV Mk. II “Lacerta”
Firepower Fantastic Armor Medium
Health Medium Speed Good
View range Good Stealth None
Perception None Tech level 1
The Order of the New Dawn
has adopted BehemoTech’s
BT-MV Mk.II into their
ever-growing military arsenal.
The Lacerta is essentially a
grav fitted three-crewed
platform supporting a heavy
beam weapon. It is primarily
a long-range support weapon
for taking out enemy defensive
structures.
The sole armament of
the Lacerta is the X9k Purifier weapon system mounted on top of the hoverdyne
chassis. The sheer amount of concentrated energy generated by the Purifier beam
is powerful enough to blast through any known armor alloy available to ground
vehicles today.
The highly advanced Purifier weapon system is linked to an improved version of the Seccom
FFI targeting scanner, feeding the targeting computer with extremely detailed and
accurate information of targets’ movement trajectory, and environmental effects.
Internal Memorandum: Several Field Commanders have reported
that they’ve seen the Purifier beam “bounce” from several targets,
effectively hitting more than one target. Crayven Intelligence has not
been able to confirm these sightings and no Beam Platform has
been captured with its weapon system intact. If these sightings are
more than visual glitches, it could prove useful to approach Beam
Platforms in scattered formations.
The Beam Platform is armored with relatively light armor, amalgam fused layers
of Polysteel-15 and can be destroyed with infantry carried weapons.

SCU-Focus Prism Focuses the Purifier Beam, making it amazingly powerful.
