BACKGROUND

The Roiquonmi Glaug Officers Pod is the Mecha assigned to all Zentraedi Officers and Meltrandi. 280,000 cycles ago the Inspection Army destroyed the Roiquonmi Weapons Factory in an all out attack. No more Glaug's have been manufactured since the factory's destruction making it one of the rarest mecha's in existence. It can still be seen on the field of battle though piloted by an Officer leading Regult Battlepod's in to Battle.

RPG STATS

Vehicle Types:

Class: Zentraedi Officers Battlepod
Manufacturer: Roiquonmi Factory Satellite
Crew: One pilot wearing Light Zentraedi Armour

MDC BY LOCATION: 

    Long Range Electron Beam Cannon                80 each
    Small Bore Anti-Personnel Cannons (2)          20 each
    Weapon Arms (2)                               100 each
(1) Sensor Eye                                     30
(2) Legs (2)                                      150 each
(3) Engine thrusters (2)                           70 each
(4) Main Body                                     200

NOTES:=20

  1. Destroying the Sensor Eye will knock out the mecha's major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal). = Radar and communications will be unaffected.
  2. Depleting the MDC of one or both of the Leg's will render the Mecha immobile in an atmosphere.
  3. Destroying one thruster will reduce the flight speed of the Mecha in space by 50%. Destroying both thrusters will render the mecha immobile.
  4. Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will destroy the Mecha, probably killing the pilot as well.

  4. SMALL BORE ANTI-PERSONNEL LASER CANNONS: (2) The front mounted cannons are primarily for dealing with ground troops of Micronian scale, but can be used against other mecha if the other weapons are in-operative.

  5. CLOSE COMBAT MISSILE LAUNCHER: For close combat purposes in addition to its other weapons the Glaug also has six short range missiles. Glaug pilots use these missiles sparingly, preferring to use their other weapons normally.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE GLAUG:

Glaug Armoured vehicle

The Glaug has available to it the Armoured Vehicle, a booster attachment that permits the Glaug to fly like a Raulon-Ve Fighter. Although the armoured vehicle does not provide any additional weapons, it does give the ability of atmospheric and trans-atmospheric flight to the Glaug at supersonic speeds. The Glaug manouvers its legs back so that they slide backward into the armoured vehicle and thus increasing the aero-dynamic shape of the joined craft. So as not to tax the reactor of the Glaug the booster has its own larger reactor which feeds the three large engines at the rear of the vehicle, and the slightly smaller engine underneath the vehicle. Vernier thrusters are dotted across the surface of the armoured vehicle, increasing the agility of the combined Glaug and armoured vehicle. In the event of the destruction or heavy damage of the armoured vehicle, it can be blown away, (like the VF-1 Armour) to leave the Glaug free to fight without it.
