  • 4x 4-tube flare/chaff dischargers

Equipment Carry Abilities: Adaptable rear cargo bin, able to load infantry supplies

Historical and Technical Notes

The TRDS MBT2A1 Prowler is the current premier main battle tank used by the Celestial Royal Military, based on the venerable P1 tank, which itself was a product of a long evolutionary process for the Celestial Armed Forces, the 2A1 maintains several of the best features of the 1A as well as branching out into a more multi-roled weapons platform. Considered to be one of the few engineering masterpieces of the TRDS, the Prowler provides a balance of all the qualities desired in an armoured vehicle; engineered with mobility, armour and weaponry all in mind. A notable improvement over the previous series is the inclusion of an improved engine sporting greater output, allowing the Prowler to keep up with light armour and motorized infantry forces that act in concert with the Air Force.

The Prowler's main gun, the 155mm cannon is a burst autocannon able to fire in semi-automatic or burst modes (3rounds in 1.1sec) with precision accuracy. The turret body is completely unmanned, with the commander and gunner both sitting inside the front body, accommodating space for revolver-style 6 round autoloader complete with a robotic servo arm to perform replenishment of munitions. The turret also has a pair of common remote operated weapons station (CROWS) built into/onto it featuring a pair of machineguns.

Designed with modern urban combat and infantry support missions in mind, the Prowler is able to carry a maximum of 8 infantrymen into battle via the rear access hatch (6 seated, 2 standing), and features extensive support for infantry. An adaptable cargo bin on the back of the turret can be used to store supplies and ammunition for ground troops, or be used to evacuate troops in case of emergency. Currently two variants of the Prowler exists: A non-combat mine frail variant, and a twin-30mm SPAAG variant.

  • 2x 4-tube flare/chaff dischargers

Equipment Carry Abilities:

Historical and Technical Notes

The SPH-2000 Primus is a self propelled howitzer armed with a 210mm field artillery gun and serves as the only type of conventional battlefield artillery gun system used by the Celestial Army. Designed around first the gun turret, then the accompanying carrier bed, the Primus incorporated an unconventional quad-leg anchor support design. When deployed, the Primus resembles like a spider; the legs serve as anchorages and are fitted with shock absorbers and recoil dampeners to enable rapid firing of the L95 gun, and when transported, the legs fold inwards to reveal the wheeled tracks in the four legs. Iconic is that while deployed, the Primus is able to still move around unless the hydraulic anchors are fired into the surface that the Primus is on, making it some sort of a tank-walker.

Firing 210mm Nemesis rocket propelled grenade munitions, the L95 field artillery gun has a maximum effective range of 75miles while retaining precision accuracy of 3meters from point of target in burst mode firing 3rounds in 9 seconds. The L95 is also capable of firing 155mm calibre artillery cannon rounds (ACR) when fitted rocket-booster sabots.

General Data
Class: Powered Armour, Exoskeleton-type
Serial Number: Mk.18
Codename: Phobos
Manufacture: Aeron Union Defence Systems, Chartered Industries of Celestial
Affiliation: Celestial
Personnel Compliment: 1, operator
Technical Data
Build Materials: ultra-lightweight nanite-titanium/ceramic composite armour
Special Features:
  • Self-recycling oxygen rebreather
  • QUICK-ADAPT magnetic attachment dock
  • SOLITON battlefield support/management system
  • Optional back-attachment point for gas-propulsion jet unit
    Sensor Packages: basic sensor systems + multimode-optic module, mounted into headgear


Historical and Technical Notes

Produced by Aeron Union Defence Systems the Mk.18 Phobos is an exoskeleton-type powered armour operated by various branches of the Celestial military and is currently in use as the basic form of battle dress armour in operation by Celestial's standing regular army. The Phobos is fashioned out of nanite-titanium/ceramic composites, making it semi-bulletproof and flameproof, and woven internally with kevlar-variant materials to absorb shock, and features Aeron's patented 'Quick-Adapt' magnetic attachment docks around the armour's waist to carry zippered pockets for field issue components (med-kits, ammo and grenades).

The Phobos armour is internally sealed, giving it complete protection from NBC environments thanks to its oxygen rebreather (72hours maximum recycling power). Able to support operation in high pressure conditions the armour allows for utility in vacuum and to some extent, underwater environments. The Phobos secondarily functions as an power enhancer, allowing a soldier to jump higher, farther and even throw powered punches capable of crushing concrete. This same function allows an operator to carry and fire heavier weaponry and carry heavier loads, making the operator himself a bigger threat with his significantly bigger guns. Despite this, the Phobos armour is able to function relatively quietly; as the suit is designed to reduce heat and noise signatures; that said, it is still rather bulky in size, so completely sneaking around in a Phobos suit is not recommended.

The operator does not wear the Phobos like a garment like conventional pilot suits; compromising of a full-body wetsuit or Extend-Gear Protectors worn underneath, the Mk.18 is worn like a one-piece suit of armour which separates at the sides to allow the operator entry and exit; the HUD-equipped helmet can be removed (or not worn at all) if so desired by the operator. The Phobos features multiple mounting points and strapdown buckles for attachment of additional armour panels or equipment to facilitate specialized functions. The Phobos can operate in space with special magnetic-layered boots allowing for steady utility in zero-gravity environments and its multimode-optic modules enable the operator to see in different modes and light spectrum conditions. Internally designed with FLT Labs' SOLITON battlefield support-management system, integrating a communications system that allows for seamless data-linking between allied units and greater battlefield control and allows for firsthand knowledge to be quickly distributed down to individual levels quickly and efficiently.

The Mk.18 Phobos armour was initially produced by Aeron Union until the Chartered Industries of Celestial bought the design and began mass production for the Celestial Army. Due to its low production and maintenance costs, the Mk.18 is slowly replacing the rapidly obsolete plate-carrier load bearing vests used by the Celestial army.
