The war is coming to an end, and with the reports coming from synval theirs a good chance the world might be coming to an end with it. AS such a flurry of activities is taking place, in order to finish and mobilize an idea, constantly pushed back due to resource shortages and projected project difficulties, even to the extent that the abberan team had decided to sit on it.
With the salviosi war coming to a grinding halt, and the possibilities of an outside threat, it has become a matter of grave importance, to protect king and country as bets as possible in these shifting and trying times.
The Praetor Knight armour. Less a suit of worn armour and more of a piloted Mechanical frame, similar to those produced by salviosi (and boy did that truly rankle the boys who had initially put the praetor to paper when they had deployed a mechanical walker frame first)
Standing 5 meters tall, equipped with hundreds of complicated subcomponents, it is likely that the preator would be a janky, slow mess. In capable of being controlled in a concise enough manner to be relevant, if not for an experimental procedure undergone via the Knights of the realm in order to bear this new armour.
Cealium, ingested into the body and suffused into the nervous system. These crystal particles inside of the knights body allows them to interface with other cealium systems, turning them into circuits and nerves smaller then the eye can see.
Through these new cealium nerves, the pilot interfaces with his suit of armour. The praetor is not worn. The praetor is the knight for as long as they are interfaced. Every movement taken, every action demanded by the preator is carried out as smoothly as though the knight in question was but stretching his own body.
To match the miracle of a control system, the praetor possess inherent capabilities beyond any suit of armour created to date. Starting from the outer shell, the preator is protected by Cold iron, capable of deflecting heat at an astounding rate, which pairing the metal’s string nature with a royal K-wool Dampening system, allows the praetor to walk through torrents of gun fire, Flames and even the detonation of an artillery round. Thermal energy cannot touch the machine with the temperature immune outer shell of cold iron and kinetic energy can do no more due to the abundance of royal K-wool inside of the suit.
The legs of the Praetor are designed with a series of springs, hydraulics and Kinetic Horn amplifiers, created via chemically treating the horns of K-Sheep in a chemical bath. Together, this allows the praetor suit to move at incredible speeds, survive falls from high drops and make incredible leaps.
Without mention, the strike of a leg capable of moving the preator at such high speeds has every chance of shattering even ship plating.
Without the K-wool compensators present inside of the chassis, it is likely the leech mechanism would shatter after a single step, as the kinetic energy turned the leg into the equivalent of a tank striking the ground at high speeds.
With the various kinetic dampeners present in the Preator armour, it is fully possible for the knightly suit to drop from the deck of a Orleans class vessel and not only survive but be fully capable for combat as well. This should also hold true for the launch bays present in the sky tyrant, originally meant for the Odysseus.
This will enable the deployment of praetor Knights anywhere our airforces can reach, literally falling from the sky on top of the enemies fortified position, bypassing enemy mines, tank traps and other fortifications.
Present inside of the praetor armors arms are two, different subsystem paired along with the powerful metal rending fists and sheering fingers the praetor already possess. One subsystem is a powerful Gravity shield, designed to be emitted from the forearm, allowing the protection of the preator and those who stand behind it. With its powerful legs, K-wool dampeners and powerful generators, the Shield is not the crippling mechanism is could be on certain vessels. Instead, the powerful gravity phenomenon finds new life as a protection for the preator to close to its preferred field of play, close range, albeit the cost of this powerful defensive weapon is lowered mobility due toe the requirement to properly brace oneself with the ground and posture.
The shield itself is a deadly tool, with the edge of the anomaly fully capable of being used like the bludgeoning edge of a shield or the main portion of the gravity shielding providing its nature as a deadly tool.
The other arm I connected to a series of pressurized tanks, containing a Slurry mixture of a container fluid, and Rime. Small hose on the arm allows the Praetor to create a deadly spray of this thick, sticky gellish fluid and rime, which as one could expect is rather deadly, quickly causing frostbite and tissue damage as well as hypothermia in exposed infantry and causing serve brittleness and sometime even straight out shattering in metallic vehicles as the metal grows cold and begins to quickly contract due to the deathly cold powder promethium and gel mix.
The arms of the praetor are fully capable of picking up, lifting and even throwing. A dangerous thing when one witnesses a tank trap turned into a flying instrument of death as thrown by a praetor. Anything of suffiecnt weight and size is a possible weapon in the praetor’s powerful hands, from stones to burned out vehicle carcasses to the remains of fortifications.
Along the praetors back sits the massive power generators the feed the hungry suit, similar to those mounted on the sky tyrant in form and function, if not size. Nestled close to this armored generator are three small bomb lobbers, meant to through Rime, Whickerman and Fragmentation explosives in an arc, completely clearing the gravity shield when deployed.
This enables the praetor to create its own smokescreen, clear out infantry positions and suppress enemy fire teams for the advance of foot soldiers.
The suits own armamaents, are rather crude, due to the focus being primarly focused upon the creation of the suit of armour and its subsystems themselves.
These armaments range from a cold iron shield, to supplement or replace the granitic one as the knight prefers, typically mounted on the opposite arm as the gravity emitter to prevent interference, Blades and axes meant for tearing through enemy heavy armour and fortifications through sheer brute force, along with more conventional armaments,
Like the ThunderHalberd, which is incredibly similar to a scaled up halberd cannon, with the addition of a blade to the underside of the barrel. However, a Gravity AT rifle scaled for a 5 meter tall Knight is still quite the formidable weapon, even without the lavish care that was placed upon the suit itself.
Another option is the Stormbringers, a single barreled autocannon designed for the 5 meter tall mech, and is used similarly to an assault rifle be the massive mechanical chivalrous construct, In all honesty, it is merely a 40mm autocannon similar to those commonly mounted by our forces, however while wielded by a 5 meter tall juggernaught of destruction like the preator, such thing cannot be underestimated.
finally, There is also the DragonSlayer, a massive shotgun like weapon designed to be equipped with shot the size of baseball and slugs enough to tear into tanks. Again, in all honesty it is an oversized draco, But I would like to see those on the business end of the massive weapon complain.
The preator armour is designed to become the go to equipment for the Knight of abbera, replacing the paladin and crusader armour to be handed down to squires, and particularly skilled peasants. Taking advantage of their overwhelming speed, Blistering offensive and near unkillable nature, the preator armour is meant to become the new knights of the modern era, acting as the Hammer of the new era like the Knightly Calvary charges did of old.
