ODF Mekton MM-1G-SLD Draken
Statting out the Draken was more of chore than the Galliard, due
to the fact that the four wings were added on after the fact.
It was impossible to put on four wings and armor them as heavily
as the rest of the servos and still come anywhere close to the
printed weight. Since effect is the key in Zeta Plus, each "wing
array" servo has two wings. They were exactly big enough to hold
the verniers. I still had to put in some weight efficiency to
get in its original weight class. The thrusters didn't originally
take the wing advantage into account, something I corrected.
The Draken is a more straighforeward design than the Galliard,
with no complex weapons or defenses. Maybe a little to much so.
I would have put in a link on the missiles, personally.
The strength of the Draken is that all of its servos, armor and
weapons are heavier than its competion. Its weakness is that it
can't switch from melee to ranged combat that quickly. The Galliard
is also faster, cutting into the superior range of ODF weapons.
Still, when all other things are equal, bet on the big guy.
The initial Draken was 72.7 tons, 417.4 CP

MM-2G-SLD: Stürm Draken
Sorry the "U" with the Umlauts didn't come out in translation.
It worked nicely in the Word Processor, just not in ANSI... Also,
you'll note that some of the CP costs are a bit quirky. This is
because my spreadsheet did a calculation or two wrong. Overall,
however, the costs on all these Mektons are basically correct.
Besides, these are story devices... let's not nitpick, neh?
MM-2G-SLD: Stürm Draken Chassis Weight: 75 tons loaded CP Cost:
809.3 CP Credit Cost: 8.093 Million Credits
Height: 18 Meters
Walking Speed: 1200m/Min. (MA 4) Flight Speed: 634 kph (MA 16)
Originally intended as a new upgrade scheme for the MM-1G-SLD
Draken, the Stürm Draken was designed by Singularity Works shortly
before the "defection" of Nebula Works. Primarily seen as a setback
to the planners at Solingen GmbH, the loss of Nebula Works, especially
the brilliant minds of Akira Ryuzaki and his core team, it soon
became apparent that the now competition-less Singularity Works
had received a blessing in disguise.
While Nebula Works still held sway over the Draken, Troubadour,
and Blitzen design schemes, Singularity was relegated to upgrading
the older designs as the need arose. In fact, the Stürm Draken
was intended to be nothing more than a revision to the Command
Armor Upgrades for the MM-1G-SLD. With Nebula Works no longer
in the picture, the board of planners at Solingen GmbH did little
more than symbolically oppose the acquisition of the design schemes
and production rights to these units. Within a week of the disappearance
of Nebula Works, Elliot Mathias, Singularity's top designer, was
busily reworking the Stürm Draken into its own classification.
The revision was a classified success. Initial tests showed that
the stock-integration of systems that Nebula would have left as
"field modification options" improved the mecha's performance
by nearly one hundred percent. By upgrading the wing array and
consolidating the thruster vents, the total servo count was reduced
by two, but at an overall increase in structural integrity. The
Solingen Beta class Anti-Missile Phalanx system, normally reserved
for the CA Upgrades on the Draken, were installed into the wings
of the Stürm Draken. These, in addition to the Type 2M counter
missiles, raised the machines defensive profile massively.
Additionally, Singularity returned to the storage lockers and
dusted off the plans for its original Gauss weapon design. Integrating
the Type 1 targeting computer from the original Mk. 7M Gauss rifle
and adding "tracer" rounds, the Stürm Draken was equipped with
the Mk. 7MA Gauss rifle. Retaining the Draken's Type 4M missiles,
the Stürm Draken also mounts two 3-racks of Type 6M smart-missiles.
Finally, Actuator controls (planned for the next Draken release),
and an upgraded Power plant/Hydraulic framework were included
in the design. According to critics, all of these choices have
made the Stürm Draken what the Draken should have been all along.

Notes:
1 = These are hands, and as such are bought as Quick and Handy.
2 = All ODF Heat Sabres are 1 Handed Melee Weapons. They are also
all Armor Piercing, therefore dropping their opponents armor effectively
by half per hit. (IE: SP is treated as though it were 1/2 its
normal capacity)
3 = The Mark 7M Gauss Gun has been upgraded and given a Targeting
computer. It has therefore been redesignated: The Mark 7M Alpha.
It uses both this Targeting computer and special ammunition to
increase the hit ratio on enemy Mecha. It is BV 4.
4 =The Ammunition for the Mk. 7MA is Kinetic and Tracer. There
are 40 bursts available, at a total of 20 per clip.
5 = The Solingen Beta AMS are Dedicated Phalanx Systems, with
a BV of 8.
6 = The Type 2M Missiles are Dedicated Countermissiles.
7 = The Type 4M Missiles are the standard MM-XG missile payload.
They're everywhere!
8 = The Type 6M Missiles are the ODF's low-end Smart Missiles.
They are Skill 15 and Smart 2. They were originally supposed to
go on the Viggen, but got scrapped in favor of the Shrike and
Shrike 2. They will probably be installed on all of the 3G series.
Creator Cacklings:
This is basically what I wanted the next ODF design to be. It's
supposed to follow the whole "Escalation of War" theme that runs
in the background of the SBB story. While the characters are trying
to stop the war from killing everybody, the big mega powers just
keep turning p the engine on the war machine. Targeting computers
in the ODF (and probably the SAC) come in two flavors. The kind
you put in a sensor, and the kind you put in a gun. The sensor
kind apply to everything, and are cost multpliers on the Mekton.
The Gun kind are just bonuses to WA, and only apply to the gun.
The Sturm Draken uses the Gun kind.

ODF Mekton MM-1G-INT Viggen
The Viggen is ODF's interceptor mekton. As with the Draken, one
"wing array" looks like two wings. Adding the wings allowed for
reduced thruster costs. Some weight efficiency was needed to get
it in the listed weight class.
One thing I changed was the extra fuel tanks. They were listed
as external, but I changed them to internal (put in the wings)
to avoid the hassle of having a balance modifier.
As an interceptor, the Viggen's main tactic will be to find the
enemy, launch its LRMs and run away. The Viggen is faster than
its SAC competitor, the Zephyr, but it has lighter armor and a
lighter gauss gun. Personally, I would have linked the missile
racks.
The initial Viggen stats were 49.2 tons, 478.4 CP

MM-2G-INT Wolfram
Unlike the Draken design scheme, which Singularity Works had to
secure from the planners at Solingen GmbH after the disappearance
of Nebula Works, the Wolfram is based on Singularity's flagship:
The Viggen. Without having to secure the paperwork allowing them
to work on the design (as they were the inventors of the machine
in the first place), Singularity had begun a revision and upgrade
scheme practically on the heels of the Viggen's release.
This is not to say that the Viggen was seen as a flawed design.
Rather, the Wolfram was designed as a "Viggen Mark Two". It was
seen as a design that could supplement a Viggen in the field,
where extended use of Command Armor Upgrades would be restricted.
Minor differences aside, the Wolfram shared the Viggens overall
profile, and could easily mount all of its weapons in a pinch.
In fact, their profiles are so similar that many pilots forget
that they are in a different machine altogether. This is intentional,
as many pilots found the comfort and "smooth ride" in the Viggens
cockpit to be a welcome relief to normal Mecha operation, as well
as somewhat addicting.
New on the Wolfram, as seen on the Strm Draken and later on the
Nachtmaren, is the consolidated wing array. Replacing the four
smaller winglets with two larger wing servos served to reduce
the overall servo count, yet kept structural integrity and allowed
for the streamlining of the vectored thrust vents of the Wolframs
flight system. Similar to the Viggen, the thrusters and verniers
of the Wolfram communicate at nearly three times the speed any
other ODF Mecha. As such, its performance remains nearly unrivaled
in the SAC.
The Wolfram retains nearly all of the Viggens weapons profile,
but adds the "new" Mark 2 combat knife and the Shrike 2 missiles.
The knife is actually an idea scavenged from the battlefield wreckage
of SAC Zephyr's. Realizing that the Viggens one shortcoming was
its lack of close combat defense, Singularity copied the SAC combat
knife design and integrated it in the Wolfram. The Shrike 2 missiles
are essentially Shrike 1's, but possess an upgraded targeting
computer to guide their sub munitions. The next release of the
Shrike profile calls for the original AI routines to be reinstalled
in the munition.

Creator Cacklings:
When I was first designing the ODF Mektons, I decided that I wanted
the SAC to have an upper hand... so I talked to Brian about it,
and we came to this conclusion: The ODF has superior Starbolt
technology, the SAC can really produce them thar smart missile
thingies. We bounced this off of RTG, and they said "Sounds good!".
Therefore, you'll note that this suit has mention of something
known as an AI in the missile. Now, I know you all know what an
AI is (some of you don't? Shame on you! Now go take refresher
courses with Uncle Rache!), but in this case, we're talking about
highly dedicated dogbrains not unlike the ACV's in Steve Gallaci's
Albedo series. The ODF smart missiles basically are Juggernauts
dedicated to eliminating themselves and their targets. I picture
the SAC missiles as being a bit more... well, for lack of a better
term, rational.

MM-1A-HA"Blitzen"
The Blitzen is essentially a heavier version of the Draken, so
few new design ideosyncracies popped up. The SAC Manticore has
much heavier weapons and armor than a Blitzen, but a Blitzen can
always slap on Draken command armor if the need arises.
I switched the locations of the 2M and 4M missiles between the
arms and torso weapon mounts, as it seemed a much more efficient

As the war dragged itself on relentlessly, it became clear to
Solingen GmbH that with only two Works teams under its control,
other, more varied Mekton producers might someday be able to gain
a hold in the ODF's treasury. Even Seven Sisters Industrial, despite
the fact that they were a "child" company of Solingen GmbH, had
been reviewing possible military contracts. Something had to be
done, and was. Pulling the most military minded, aggressive, and
some might say homicidal minds out of Seven Sisters, Singularity
Works, and Cloud Works, the planning board drafted and commissioned
Nova Works.
The first task Nova Works set up for itself was to design a foil
to the SAC Heavy Arms. Lacking the sophisticated Gyro systems
of the SAC's Gauss weapons, matching the Manticore's VH Auto Gauss
was a practical impossibility. Without the proper stabilizers
and mounting systems, something that large simply could not be
safely mounted on any existing chassis. Looking over the design
schemes of the 1G series, the answer soon made itself apparent
in the form of the Type 2 Assault Gauss. This weapon, intentionally
designed to be suitable for mounting on either the Draken or Blitzen
(and later, conveniently, the Strm Draken) was only slightly under
the performance ratio of the SAC gun, and could be carried two
handed rather than on a complicated gyro-rig.
Further, while a self contained unit carried only 24,000 rounds
(for 20 shots of roughly 1,200 rounds each), the hand held unit
could be clip fed, doubling its effective combat life. Many say
that it was no surprise that the new design, rightly dubbed the
Nachtmaren, carried not only the "rifle" version of this weapon,
but also mounted two self contained, fire-linked units in the
torso. Further, the Nachtmaren takes its assault role very seriously.
Supplementing the T2 Gauss guns are two racks of Type 2M counter
missiles. Mounted in the arms, the Type 2M's have more than proven
their worth. The upgraded wing servos (reduced in number but upgraded
in integrity) mount one rack of Type 4M missiles and Type 5M grenades
each. As an added element, the Nachtmaren uses the new "Crystal
Ball" targeting computer, increasing its combat accuracy by nearly
a quarter. This system, while relatively new, promises to be the
deciding factor in many future battles.

Notes:
1 = These are hands, and as such are bought as Quick and Handy.
2 = All ODF Heat Sabres are 1 Handed Melee Weapons. They are also
all Armor Piercing, therefore dropping their opponents armor effectively
by half per hit. (IE: SP is treated as though it were 1/2 its
normal capacity)
3 = This is the same Gauss Gun as is used in the Draken, Blitzen,
and Sturm Draken CAU's. It is BV 2 and uses Kinetic Ammunition.
4 =The Ammunition for the T2 AGR is Kinetic, and comes in two
clips of 20 bursts each, for 40 bursts.
5 = The T2 AGC's are mounted on the torso, and are fire-linked.
They are self contained, and each has 20 shots.
6 = The Type 2M Missiles are Dedicated Countermissiles.
7 = The Type 4M Missiles are the standard MM-XG missile payload.
They're everywhere!
8 = The Type 5M is the standard Grenade for the MM-XG series.
They are Blast Radius 2.
Creator Cacklings:
Someone asked me why there are no Upgraded Armor Coefficients
in SBB. That's because we were told not to use them. As such,
I'm not going to argue with the nice folks what sign the check,
so there ain't no Refined Armors. Deal with pain. Also, you'll
note something about Note (3) up there. Yes, it's true. The Draken,
the Blitzen, and the Sturm Draken can all use the same CAU's.
They have the same servo levels, and are a marvel of Hyper Efficient
design. Ain't I sick? =)
