Summary

Status: Approved

Notes
I can't really say that I like the level of detail with the weapons and interior sections, but the history and about are well-detailed and well-written. As well, it is unlikely that anyone other than Saiga Psychogenetics manager raz will be GMing this unit.
 
Note: Approval cannot take effect until the checklist is complete. The article author should correct these before using the item IC.
 
I have to totally back up Wes on this one. Just because it is likely that no-one but Raz will be using this unit, it still doesnt mean it should only be half complete. I'd like to see this frame reach a greater state of completion, because the concept interests me.
 
Addressing concerns on the checklist:

[ ] A general topic sentence under the title header
Added. I didn't have one because most articles don't. Easy enough fix.

[-] Lacking Detail
I disagree. The article tells you the technology's capabilities in both narrative form and statistical form based on the site's DR rules. If you want me to write minute details about escape systems and what the third line on the computer screens looks like, I respectfully decline.

[-] Images hosted on sites other than stararmy.com (Photobucket, Imageshack, etc are not allowed)
I did not want to upload a picture to the wiki that wasn't going to be integrated as anything but a link. If Wes wants me to upload to the wiki for the drawing to remain in link form, I will do so.

[-] Damage Capacity and Damage Ratings in compliance with the DR Guidelines
I originally had the shield SP at 17.5, which Exhack tells me is why this was flagged. Apparently we don't allow fractions of numbers. 17.5 is actually less than what the guidelines tell me to calculate it as. I bumped it up to 18.

Math: 22 hull x0.8 Advanced Shielding = 17.6 = rounded up to 18.
