Bug Mechs!

January 13, 2015
By R. Ritnour

The cyber rebellion brought about many changes in equipment design and application. Like any field of development there were dismal failures and monumental achievements. The Gul-Thok Mech designed the Cliktak Clan and manufactured in the hives of the Ectik and Naktak clans was a spectacular success. This fully automated high mobility weapon platform served as a main battle droid for a majority of sentient insects, but was used in non-insect alien armies as well. Unhappily, the technology fell into cybernetic hands when the Cliktak Clan was overrun. Modified fully sentient versions of the Gul-Thok began to appear shortly after the defeat of the Cliktak.

What does this mean for Players in Takamo Universe?

Bug mechs will be available for purchase in certain alien enclaves and there may be an opportunity to research and develop bug mechs for player empires.

The model above is the KT-5 main battle droid built under license by the Soelian Twa Empire. This version carries a 270 mm plasma gun that is a main force direct fire weapon. KT-5s were effective against enemy armor. They were also very good direct fire siege weapons. Ground speed was 70kph, making this mech a very good armored assault and envelopment platform.
