Description

An Anno Astra mobile armour.

The Armscor Assegai is a mobile armour designed for use in space or an atmosphere. While it lacks wings, the hull possesses the shape of a lifting body/scramjet. The twin coilgun turret retracts partially into the MA's underside, where it is covered by aerodynamic fairings. The coilguns are still capable of firing forward while retracted into the hull. The hull material is a multi-layer cermet composite. It is thicker than on a mobile suit of the same weight class, and the layers and materials arranged for very high heat resistance. It is lined with a superconducting heat exchange system which transfers the heat to large radiators mounted within the three large thruster intakes meant for atmospheric use. These permit it to re-enter planets with dense atmospheres without special equipment.

The example shown in the illustration is Lt. Maia Humboldt's personal MA.

Design notes: The Assegai started life as an interesting spade-shaped doodle, which turned into a light cruiser, then a destroyer, then a jump-capable patrol craft...eventually, with the addition of the manipulator arms (borrowed from the MA Fenril of the Freehold storyline), into its present form.

So... is this what I've been missing from not stopping by AM or GW for so long? :)
