GR4-Peltast "Nemea Six Strike"

Retaining the striking “lion’s mane” coloration, the Nemea Six Strike is perhaps one of the most noticeable within the Menaulion’s hangar. Its pilot, Myra, specializing in close quarters combat and high speed strikes. Her machine represents much of the same: advancements in technology stolen from the MR, as well as the ESU’s own advancements, has turned it into a testbed of potent melee technology.

One of the first changes involves its ‘tail-fin’. The Nemea boasts a modified one, now nearly twice the length. Though not as usable for short engagements, the fin is extremely potent at amplifying the Nemea’s trajectory. When under atmosphere, the Nemea can perform high jumps using the exposed fin, and while in space, the fin retains its regular usage. Much like before, it can be folded up against the machine’s back, with the longer fin now giving it the appearance of a mock tail.

The largest change has been modification to the armor on the Nemea. It’s shoulders, arms, and legs have been modified to make room for the addition of four beam sabers. Two on the shoulder, and two on the leg. While the weapon has been considered an experimental addition to many AAs, after witness of its widespread use by the MR, it was only inevitable until a more extensive use of what was devised.

With the addition of two small “sub-arms” along its back, just behind its shoulder, the Nemea can wield four beam sabers at the same time. Additionally, the sabers built into its legs are mounted, and can thus swivel out forward, making a total of six sabers possible to be active at once. Though its main arms have the most reach and range, its sub arms are still capable of slicing in pre-selected motions, or likewise can be locked forward to stab.

To add on to this, the Nemea has been equipped with more in-depth leg thrusters, allowing it to move quickly. In following with the technology found in the Gnome, its feet have been redone entirely- now flatter, with built in wheels to allow it to skate along the ground. Unlike the Gnome, which has a set up that allows it to cover distance, the Nemea Six Strike can only skate for a short distance before having to resort to walking, thus meaning it can only make use of it for short bursts.
