- Affiliation: Iron Howl
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: EB-77 "Emberborn"

- Production: Semi-Unique
- Material:
- Sith-alchemized Beskar
- Embercore reactor
- Tempered Sarrassian Iron plating
- Phrik Components
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
- Classification: Fourth Degree (Advanced War Droid capable of independent strategic action)
- Weight: Very Heavy (Heavily armored and reinforced for frontline assault roles)
- Height: Very Large (Comparable in size to a Basilisk War Droid; roughly 4+ meters tall)
- Movement: Quadrupedal (Primary) / Repulsorlift Jets (Secondary) (Gallops and charges across terrain like a tank-beast hybrid; capable of sustained flight or powered leaps)
- Armaments:
- Hellspitter Rotary Cannon (Main Ranged Weapon)
- A triple-barreled, high-velocity rotary cannon mounted on one shoulder or forelimb.
- Capable of firing incendiary slugs, ion-tipped rounds, or blaster bolts.
- Can switch to "Scorch Mode," where rounds ignite atmospheric oxygen for an area-of-effect burn.
- Inferno Maul (Primary Melee Weapon)
- A retractable, alchemized metal war maul integrated into one limb or deployable from its back.
- Superheated with internal plasma conduits—each strike can melt through standard armor plating.
- Often used in tandem with a kinetic charge to deliver earth-cracking shockwaves on impact.
- Drakefire Projector (Flamethrower Equivalent)
- Mounted in the mouth or forearm—unleashes a concentrated stream of alchemically treated liquid fire.
- Burns hotter than standard flamethrowers, capable of clinging to hulls and bodies alike.
- Can switch to a cone-shaped burst or precision stream.
- Ashstorm Missile Pods
- Concealed under armored plating on the back or hips.
- Fires small clusters of micro-missiles, each tipped with thermobaric or ion warheads.
- Designed to saturate target zones and overwhelm energy shields or hardened bunkers.
- Gravitic Talons
- Reinforced Phrik clawed limbs equipped with short-range gravitic disruptors.
- Used to latch onto enemy vehicles or structures and rip them apart with brutal force.
- Talons can also conduct brief electromagnetic pulses to disable droids or shields on contact.
- Soulhowl Voice Caster (Psychological Warfare Tool)
- Emits modulated wails, roars, or mimicry of battlefield cries from slain foes.
- Designed to shatter enemy morale, induce fear, or lure enemies into traps.
- Can integrate Iron Howl war chants or boarding anthems mid-charge.
- Optional Loadouts (based on mission)
- Plasma grenade launcher
- Compact gas canisters and launchers
- Shock-net deployer for anti-infantry engagements
- Detachable scout drones disguised as molten feathers
- Mag-clamp Spine Saddle for rider (Iron Howler)
- Hellspitter Rotary Cannon (Main Ranged Weapon)
- Misc. Equipment:
- Ashline Beacon Relay Core (functions as a command node for battlefield coordination)
- Hell-Eye Targeting Suite (multi-spectrum sensors, threat prioritization AI, and motion prediction)
- Battlefield Signal Dampeners (masks movements from radar and scanners)
- Localized Magma Dispenser (environmental hazard generator: melts ground, deters infantry)
- Vocalizer Horn (emits terrifying, distorted howls and screams to demoralize enemies)
- Resistances:
- Energy (Blaster): Very High (Thick alchemized phrik plating and reinforced internal shielding)
- Kinetic: Very High (Heavy armor phrik plating and anti-impact internal bracing)
- Lightsabers: Very High (Alchemized beskar alloys offer some resistance; not invulnerable to focused attacks)
- Other:
- EMP/Ion: Low (Some shielding, but vulnerable to focused ion barrages)
- Sonic: Low (Systems may desynchronize or glitch under sustained sonic assault)
- Elemental (Fire/Heat): Very High (Born in volcanic furnaces—flame enhances rather than harms)
- Corrosive/Chemical: Average (Outer shell is sealed and coated but can be worn down over time)
SPECIAL FEATURES
- Mag-claw limbs for ship hull crawling and terrain traversal.
- Internal Embercore power reactor feeding flamethrowers and energy weapons.
- Back-mounted rotary gun (or molten bolt launcher).
- Integrated Howl-Shriek System (inflicts fear/dizziness).
- Rider Platform: Can carry one Iron Howl warrior.
- Atmospheric Entry Plating: Can be deployed from orbit with burning descent trails.
STRENGTHS
- Terror Drop: Its arrival is marked by atmospheric fire and wailing shrieks; lands like a comet and wreaks havoc.
- Multipurpose Killer: Able to engage infantry, armor, or air with equal brutality.
- Mountable Beast: A warrior can ride into battle and command it with gestures, screams, or Force-coded pulses.
WEAKNESSES
- Beast Logic: Its semi-sentient combat routines can make it unpredictable without strong command input.
- Slow Recharge: Embercore reactor has a heavy cooldown after full cycle of overdrive fire.
- Massive Target: Difficult to hide or deploy covertly.
- Force Null: When presented with Force Nullification zones or abilities, the Emberborn loses a portion of it's defense against lightsabers.
DESCRIPTION
The Emberborn is the Iron Howl's primal answer to mechanized war—a dread construct more akin to a flame-bound beast than a machine. Designed to be launched from high orbit, it lands in fire and ash, its frame roaring with ancient chants embedded into its code. Some are even adorned with bones, skulls, and fetishes, treated as semi-sacred living things by the Iron Howl. Though only a handful exist, each one is a nightmare on the battlefield, part steed, part siege engine, part avatar of wrath. Their weapon compliments can be interchanged.
