Nousjaedul-Mar Marduk Zentran Power Armor

I. Dimensions:

II. Type:

• One man infantry assault mecha.

III. Propulsion:

Engines:

• 2 x reaction mass thrusters on the shoulders, total thrust, 100 kN
• 2 x reaction mass thrusters on the back, total thrust 185 kN.
• 4 x reaction mass thrusters on the legs, total thrust 68 kN.
• Assorted small reaction thrusters and gyroscopes for all-environment maneuvers, attitude adjustment, and stability.

Powerplant:

• Miniaturized fusion reactor providing electrical power to the mecha.  Total output, unknown estimated to be in excess of 8000 kW.

Fuel Capacity:

• 16 Standard canisters of reaction mass
• 360.2 liters of reactant for fusion engines.

IV. Performance:

V. Sensory Systems:

• Medium range conventional radar system
• Thermo-imager
• Night vision optics
• Telescopic optics (x15 magnification)
• Laser tracker/designator
• Low power broadband sensor jammer.

VI. Armament:

Cannon:

• 1 x Particle Beam Cannon:  The Nousjaedul-Mar's main weapon is a large heavy particle beam cannon carried on the shoulder similar to the one used by the old Nousjaedul-Ger.  The cannon can fire a 95 MJ beam up to 15 times/minute at ranges of up to 20 km.  Can also discharge at half-intensity but at double the normal rate of fire. The cannon is top mounted on an armored plate and can swivel 360 degrees and +90/-20 degrees.  Drawing power from the mecha's power system, the particle beam has effectively unlimited ammunition.
• 1 x 35mm Rail Cannon:  As a backup to the particle beam cannon, the Nousjaedul-Mar mounts a single rail cannon in the chest of the power armor.  The cannon fires 1 kg shells at speeds in excess 20 kps with an effective range of 10 km.  The cannon is fed via an internal belt feed of 30 rounds.

Hand Held Weapons:

• 1 x Automatic Rail Cannon: This weapon mounted in the mecha right hand usually resembles a veritech gunpod, but contains a rail canon as opposed to normal cannon.  The cannon fires 100 gram shell at approx. 37 kps to a distance of 4 km with excellent accuracy. The weapon can fire at a rate of up to 120 rounds per minute with a 60 round clip.  Most of the time the mecha carried at least one spare clip behind the left arm shield. The weapon can be mounted on the back when not use.

Melee Weapon:

• 2 x .85 MW tachyon saber: Mounted on the forearm the beam sabers can be drawn and activated within 0.24 seconds by an experienced pilot.  This beam saber contains enough energy and tachyons for about 90 seconds of continuous use. When not in use, the beam sabers are stored in the forearms and legs of the mecha, where they are recharged by the reactor. The sabers can be switched on and off while holding it, in order to conserve power. Once totally depleted it takes 1 minute for a beam saber to recharge to full capacity.

Missiles:

• 2 x Hades missile launcher: The shoulders of the power armor each contain a large missile launcher holding a total of 24 MPZM-3 Hades missiles each.  The launcher assembly, concealed when not in use rises out of the shoulders when firing enabling up to 12 missiles to be launched from each launcher at any one time.  The auto reload system, containing enough missiles to reload the entire launcher once can in under 3 seconds allowing for quick volleys of large numbers of missiles.  

VII. Armor:

The armor of the Nousjaedul-Mar is composed of an advanced alloy composed of unknown metals. Whatever the metal, it stops all small arms and heavy infantry weapons fire, as well as provided good resistance to light mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Zentraedi 22.3mm HE autocannon round, and fair resistance to medium mecha-mounted weaponry, such as the Valkyrie's 55mm APFSDS round.

The Nousjaedul-Mar provided full protection from nuclear, biological, and chemical hazards, using a sealed cockpit environment. The internal consumables supplies could provide breathable atmosphere for four days maximum.
