Abandoned Submission SSK-XM2-1A "Buster" Mecha

Kiroshi SSk-XM2-1a
"Buster" Prototype Mecha

History and Background: Increasing amounts of hostile organic matter on the SS. Kiroshi prompted Jakei to produce a mecha which could easily destroy large amounts of organics. The Buster Mecha is his first attempt at this.

About the Buster: The Buster's primary weapon is a high intensity infrared laser rifle, which can heat it's target to temperatures in excess of 250-300 degrees celsius (530 - 636*F) if the beam is focused for a long enough time. This allows it to burn most organics without damaging metal unless it intentionally focuses it's rifle to the melting point of said metal. Secondary weapons include metal blades and laser-based blades.

Statistical Information:

Government: Currently available only in limited quantity to the crew of the SS. Kiroshi, may become more widely available at a later time.
Organization: SS. Kiroshi
Type: Light Anti-Organics/General Purpose Mecha
Class: LT SSK-XM2-1A
Designer: SS. Kiroshi Scientist Jakei Lombard
Manufacturer: SS. Kiroshi
Production: 3 units: "Buster X", "Buster Y", "Buster Z"

Crew: 1
Maximum Capacity: 1
Appearance: The Buster looks a lot like the cliched giant robots, except not as tall, seeing as how it must fit within most of the Kiroshi's passageways. It is usually a bright white or green, and has thrusters on the back for operating in 0G environments. It also has four sturdy legs for 1G+ use.

Length: 9ft
Width: 10ft
Height: 9ft
Mass: Weight of the mecha in 1G.

Speeds: Thrusters - Mach 8, 1G+ - 20MPH
Planetary: 700MPH 1G+ Thrusters, 20MPH on land. Can land on all solid surfaces that are at least 9'x10' (meaning they can occupy the full length and width of the mecha).

Range: 1 AU
Lifespan: 3-5 years, effective lifespan 2-3 yrs

Weapons Systems:

Infrared Beam Rifle (1):

Location: Stored on backpack, used on right arm
Primary Purpose: Anti-Organic
Secondary Purpose: Metal Cutting
Damage: Melts most ordinary metals on the target. Burns organic cells.
Range: 3 meters
Rate of Fire: 10 second charge time between shots
Payload: 100 shots, may carry extra batteries

SSK Electric Blade (2):

Location: Stored on backpack, used on right/left arms
Primary Purpose: Anti-Systems
Secondary Purpose: Anti-Mecha
Damage: No damage. Overloads electric systems in target.
Range: 2 Meters (sword length)
Rate of Fire: As fast as the wielding mecha can swing the sword.
Payload: 30 minutes of activation

Systems Descriptions:

Backpack/Jetpack (1): Can be used forstorage, located on the back of the unit. 2 major thrusters on either side permit 0G movement of the mecha. The thrusters can be swiveled in any direction, and can generate speeds of up to mach 8 in 0G environment, and up to 700 MPH on land.

Subspace Communications System (2): Subspace comms system found in both arms. The unit in the left arm is usually used, but the right arm unit can be used if the left arm unit fails.

VLF Projection Sensor (1): This sensor emits a very low frequency electromagnetic wave, which reflects off of any nearby ships in a 3 AU range. The downside to this is that it is an active sensor, meaning nearby ships can detect the wave, and that the wave may take a long time to reflect back to the sensor, being limited to the speed of light.

Radiation Sensor (4): These units are located in the front, back, left and right of the mecha's torso, and can sense radiation from ships in a 1.5AU radius. It has only half the range of the VLf sensor, but perceives radiation instead of actively emitting waves, so no ships can perceive this sensor functioning.
