Weapons Systems:

1. Chest Mounted Weapons Clusters: On each side of the Mecha’s chest is a pair of weapons barrels. The smaller of the two is a laser designed as a multi-use weap the capabilities of both an anti-personnel weap and tool. The larger one is a Particle Beam Gun. The laser has two settings; A low-powered fully automated setting and a high-powered cutting tool. The PBC is slightly scaled down copy of the one on the Regult. MD: Laser: A single blast from one of the lasers does 1D6 MD, while a rapid fire pulse does 3D6 (twin blasts do double damage). When used as a tool, the lasers can be use to cut and weld, doing 3D6 SD, 6D6 SD, 1MD, or 1D4MD. Particle Beam Weap: A single blast 1D4×1Ø MD; A double blast does 2D4×1Ø MD. Range: Laser: 3,ØØØ feet for the laser in assault mode; 3Ø feet in tool mode. Particle Beam Weap: 2,ØØØ feet. Rate of Fire: A rapid-fire pulse counts as one melee attack, as does a twin from two weaps fired simultaneously at the same target. The total number of blasts count as one melee attack. The total number of attacks possible per melee is equal to the total number of pilots attacks per melee. While one laser and one particle beam, or two laser, or two particle beams can be fired at the same time, all four can NOT be fired at the same time; ANY TWO is the limit. Payload: Effectively unlimited. 2. GU-XXb Gun Pods: Built into the forearms of the ZEB are a pair of GU-XX’s modified to fit the Mecha’s forearms. This configuration is based on the Queadlunn-Rau’s forearm pulse laser cannon. MD: Short Burst: 3D6. Medium Burst: 6D6. Full Melee Burst: 1D6×1Ø. Firing both weaps at the same time at the same target will cause double damage and counts as only ONE attack. Range: 4,ØØØ feet (1,2ØØ m). Rate of Fire: Short Burst: Per pilot’s attacks per melee. Medium Burst: Each Medium burst counts as TWO attacks for that melee. Full Melee Burst: Counts as the only attack for that melee; One attack for that melee only. Firing both weaps at the same time at the same target will cause double damage and counts as only ONE attack. Shooting the two weaps at different targets during a single attack is permitted, but the weap is line-of-sight only, and each strike must be rolled separately with no bonuses. Damage is calculated as usual. Payload: Each arm has enough ammo for 6Ø short, 3Ø medium, or 15 full melee blasts, or any combination therefore. Reloading: The weapon must be re-loaded manually; Though no special equipment is required to on-load the ammo, the expendable clips must be used. The Mecha does hold it’s empties, and fresh rounds can be inserted into the empty clips by hand if necessary. The empty shells can be re-loaded by machines (they’re far too big to re-load by hand ). Proper equipment reduces the re-loading time to 2Ø minutes, but without it it takes 3Ø minutes. 3. REF Short Range Missile Launchers: The shoulders, hips, groin, and twin back mounted pillars are short range missile launchers. Due to the permanent installation of the NP-FB-1Ø FAST Weapon Modules, the leg missile launchers were removes, as were the missile “pillars” to make space for the NP-BP-Ø1 or NP-BP-1Ø Missile Packs, and/or NP-BP-Ø2 Beam Cannon FAST Packs. MD and Range: Varies by type used (strictly Short Range). Rate of Fire: Single or volleys of 2, 4, 1Ø, 2Ø, or all 32. Payload: 32 total. Shoulders- 1Ø (2Ø total). Hips- 4 (8 total). Groin- 4 (8 total).

4. Dual GU-13S Triple-Barreled 35MM Gun Pod: Firing 14ØØ rounds per minute, 4ØØ round capacity. Ammunition is a mix of Tungsten-coated depleted Uranium Armor Piercing Spin-Stablized Discarding Sabot (APSSDS), High Explosive Armor Piercing (HEAP) and tracer rounds. This gun is the carbine version of the GU-13 gun pod found in the Alpha fighter. However, due to its shorter barrel, accuracy, penetration, and range are appreciably reduced. A single gun is mounted in each arm. Any hand held weapon will block the arm mounted GU-13s and thus preventing them from firing. Damage: APSSDS 3D6 short burst, 5D6 medium burst, 1D6×1Ø full melee burst. HEAP 4D6 short burst, 1D4×1Ø medium burst, 2D4×1Ø full melee burst. Tracer rounds reduce damage by 25%. Standard 4D6 short burst, 1D4×1Ø medium burst, or 2D4×1Ø full melee burst. Range: Armor Piercing Spin Stablized Discarding Sabot Rounds (APSSDS) 35ØØ feet (11ØØ m), High Explosive Armor Piercing, Standard, and Tracer 3ØØØ ft (9ØØm). Rate Of Fire: Single shots or bursts equal to the combined attacks of the pilot. Payload: 5Ø short bursts, 25 medium, or 12 full melee. NOTES: APSSDS crits on 18,19,2Ø. HEAP crits on 19,2Ø. Tracers add +2 to strike. 5. Optional Hand Held Gun Pods: Any standard Gun Pod can be utilized if needed and available. 6. FAST Packs: The missile “pillars” were removed to make space for the NP-BP-Ø1 or NP-BP-1Ø Missile Packs or NP-BP-Ø2 Beam Cannon FAST Packs. Note that the pillars can support EITHER FAST Pack, meaning the Mecha can have either two missile launchers, two beam cannons, or one of each on their shoulder; When selecting the NP-BP-Ø2, Southpaws prefer to have theirs on the ports side, righties prefer it on the starboard side. Note that the pillars can support any of the three FAST Packs, but can only support two at a time. Types Available: Either the NP-BP-Ø1 Missile or NP-BP-Ø2 Beam Cannon FAST Packs. Note: These are the ONLY dorsal FAST Packs that can be installed; Any other type “could” be installed, but they have no useful purpose. OTHER FAST PACKS: Any type of Arm FAST Pack can be used, but the NR-SR-E3/NR-SL-E3 Arm Sensor Units must be folded away before the forearm guns can be used or they will be damaged, and the NP-AU-T1 Trainer units serves little, if any, purpose. Some pilots like to mix-and-match, combining the NR-SR-E3/NR-SL-E3 on their weak hand, and the NP-AR-Ø1 FAST Missile Launcher Pods on their strong arm. 7. NP-FB-1Ø FAST Weapon Modules: The ZEB Upgrade program installed the NP-FB-1Ø from the VF-1X-Plus developed in 2Ø25. NP-FB-1Ø FAST Packs contain 2Ø missiles that are concealed by armor plates that flip up prior to launch. The NP-FB-1Ø modules do contain fuel, but it is used for the vernier jets only. Note that the packs do not increase the missile load, but DO increase leg armor without sacrificing maneuverability or speed. Missile Types: Any type of Short Range Missile can be used. Damage and Range: Varies with missile type, typically 2D6x1Ø MD at 2.5 miles (4 km). Rate Of Fire: Volleys of 1 to 2Ø (all) missiles. Payload: 2Ø missiles. 8. Hand-To-Hand Combat: If necessary, the ZEB can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The Z1 is extremely agile and can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc. Damage: Restrained Punch: 1D6×3. Power Punch: 2D6×3. Kick: 2D6×3. Leap Kick: 4D6×3. Body Flip/Throw: 1D6×3. Body Block/Tackle: 1D6×3. Stomp: 1D4×3 only effective against small objects).

Features:

ESM: Radar Detector. Passively detects other radars being operated. Radar: Combat grade radar. Range 1ØØ miles, can track up to 5Ø individual targets. 95% reliability (24% against unfriendly stealthed vehicles). Blue Force Tracker: Identifies friend from foe. Overlays the information on both the radar and HUD, ensuring that friendly forces are not accidentally targeted. GPS: Standard tracking device. Ties into the Blue Force Tracker. Anti-Jamming System: Reduces Electronics Countermeasure by ¾ (decrease skill level appropriately). HUD: Displays maps, radar, targeting information, and any OTHER information the wearer wants directly in front of the user. FLIR/SLIR: Forward and Side Looking Infrared. Allows pilot to get visuals on targets at night. AJP: Active Jamming Pod. Causes -25% to detection but when it is active, other vehicles/bases can detect that it is jamming, and some missiles will home in on jamming signals. Jamming also causes a -4 penalty to all radar guided weapons.

Virtual Map: Displays a continuously-updating map of local terrain for the pilot. Takes data from and gives data to other friendly units in the area. Effective land navigation of 85% as updates come. Good to 5ØØ miles. Specific range can be adjusted in 1 mile increments. Video Camera: Records from the HUD. 5Ø hours of recording available. Full range optic sensory suite: Infrared, ultra violet, Magnification, night sight, color filters, thermal imager. Range is about 2ØØ miles for MOST sensors. AMC/FD (2): Anti-Missile Chaff/Flare Dispensers. Actually launches a glob of burning magnesium/aluminum alloy to confuse both radar AND heat sensory systems. Fires off Ø4 chaff/flares each time it is activated. The system is KNOWN to work on all KNOWN radar and infrared systems, but concerns continue that somewhere out there their MIGHT be a system that will be totally unaffected by the system. Reduce effects by 2Ø% against smart missiles (add +2Ø% to rolls for smart missiles.)Effect: Ø1-5Ø Enemy missile or missile volley detonates in chaff cloud- Missiles are all destroyed. 51-75 Enemy missile or missile volley loses track of real target and veers away in wrong direction (may lock onto another target). 76-ØØ No effect, missile is still on target. Also note that the chaff cloud will also blind nearby heat sensors (and optically based sensors at night) for 1 melee. They will suffer the following penalties: Reduce melee attacks/actions, and combat bonuses by half.Duration: 1D4 melee rounds.Payload: 6Ø chaff/flares. Each time the system is engaged, the system fires off Ø4 chaff/flares. Survival Kit: A pack of simpler emergency survival supplies: Pup tent, sleeping bag, black light, GPS, first aid kit (bandages, gauze, bandage tape, pads, antiseptic/analgesic), plasma torch (for small repairs and starting fires), repair kit (with MDC Repair Spray), sewing kit (a small spool of thread and 5 needles), 7 star flares (25Ø’ apogee), 2 white parachute flares (1, 5ØØ’ apogee), 1ØØ’ of black or brown parachute cord (15Ø lbs tensile strength), 2-5 days rations, 2 gallons water, water purification kit- good for about 1Ø gallons.
