TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Evil Bunny - The maneuverability of the Assagai manifests primarily in its ability to jump in an impressive, powerful, and potentially lethal fashion. The walker’s leaping capabilities allow it to ascend up to fifty meters in a single charged jump, affording the machine awe-inspiring mobility in all terrains. However, the walker is also capable of utilizing such powerful leaps in a directly destructive capacity by executing a “slam jump”, where its jump jets are fired in reverse while airborne to bring the machine back down to earth at violent speed, capable of pulverizing infantry and even tanks beneath its feet. In essence, this allows the Assagai to act as an engine of shock warfare, disrupting and sowing chaos amidst enemy formations.
  • Skirmisher - The Assagai is very fast for a machine of its size and profile, especially in belonging to a smaller class of walker, it is capable of out-maneuvering larger machines and getting under the weapons of taller walkers, where it could feasibly pour fire into their vulnerable ventral areas.
  • Jamming Beam - Complementing its offensive armament, if added to the loadout, the Assagai’s jamming beam is capable of “jamming” the hard and soft-kill countermeasures of a target, potentially disrupting them entirely or mitigating their effectiveness.
  • Field Disruption - The Assagai possesses an integrated field disruption system which allows the walker to traverse through conventional shields, albeit at the cost of its combat shields.
WEAKNESSES
  • EMP/Ion Disruption - Comprehensive Ion and EMP protection does not make the Assagai immune to such attacks by any means. Depending on the proximity and power quotient of an Ion/EMP discharge, the Assagai can suffer a range of deleterious effects, from complete shutdown to temporary system interruptions.
  • Mechu-deru - Often an unspoken weakness of complicated and advanced technologies, the Assagai is vulnerable to the dark sorceries of Mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. As such, a skilled practitioner of such arts can quickly disable the walker, provided that they have a direct line of sight to the machine.
  • Priming Period - Prior to any jump higher than thirty meters in height, the Assagai’s servos must be charged for at least two seconds. During this period, the walker can not move and as such is more vulnerable to enemy fire due to being a static target, in addition to its thermal signature being visible on sensors due to the heat released by the charging process.
  • Reverse Charge - The use of the field disruption system against Xythan Force and other reactive shield technologies can have an potentially adverse effect on the Assagai, as the disruptive energy fields discharged by the field disruptor may be reflected back at the walker, with deleterious results that could feasibly disable the machine.
DESCRIPTION
After the performance of the “Indrastra” Sith Eternal Advanced AT-PW during the Battle of Generis, where it proved to be an agile and elusive threat to the invading New Imperial forces, the walker was quickly requisitioned for full production. The newly christened “Assagai” variant underwent a number of changes to ready it for production, including the removal of its expensive stealth suite and a thorough retuning of the walker’s systems. The switch to a less powerful reactor necessitated that many of the walker’s more demanding weapons and defensive hardware be removed. However, the designers placed a high priority on retaining the walker’s maneuverability and speed, especially the awe-inspiring leaping capabilities which saw to the success of the Indrastra in the field.

In doing so, the designers also sought to address a flaw of the experimental model, a vulnerability to speeder bikes and other light repulsor craft, as such machines were responsible for the destruction of at least one Indrastra during the battle. Hardpoints capable of mounting up to two directionalized repulsorlift jammers were added to address this weakness, allowing the walker to potentially negate the repulsor systems of two light repulsor craft or one medium repulsor craft. Negating the repulsor systems of heavy repulsor craft (Repulsortanks), generally requires two Assagai projecting four jammers in concert.

All in all, much like its experimental counterpart, the Assagai is a highly versatile and agile machine, capable of inflicting severe damage against the enemies of the Sith Empire.

Me again!

Typically we mean that the list of changes only needs to be in the post where you call us to come and approve things again, you don't need to add it to your submission.

With the absolute language on these pieces, they are determined to be equivalent to stealth tech, which would mean these would need to be more limited or have them changed/ removed. The distortion projector alone says 'all scanners'

You definitely have special features here worthy of being considered strengths that are simply omitted, advanced tracking systems and sensors and Defensive capabilities with multiple shield types despite a low defense rating needs to be addressed.
