RSF-MKIIa Revolta Ground Type

Technology and Combat Characteristics
The RGT (or RSF in its ID Code) is the mass-produced Garrisai of the The Mercury Legion. Being directly developed from the original design of the Harbinger Ground Type (compared to the civilian-based design of the Castel line of units) by Revolta Autonomous Systems, the Revolta Frame has a decently good performance, almost akin to the units they were based off of. Because of this, Revolta Frames can move faster, deal stronger attacks, and carry more compared to their Castel counterparts. Being paired with the high-performance Ichor Core, the Castel GT is a fearsome opponent no matter how many there are on the battlefield.

Armaments
- 60mm Carbine: A weapon that favors precision and damage over a high rate of fire, the 60mm Carbine is a weapon ideal for marksmen. Sporting a foregrip, adjustable scope, 18-round bullpup magazine and semi-automatic receiver, this weapon works nicely when paired with the Assistive Targeting System of Revolta GTs. Even brand new pilots can master this weapon in a few training sessions. Though it is sometimes substituted by the 40mm SMG, the Carbine holds true as the Legion weapon of choice.

- 40mm Submachine Gun: Derived from the Castel GT’s 40mm ASsaUlt Rifle, or ASU, the 40mm SMG is a shell-firing weapon with a decent amount of firepower. Its receiver was reworked for a higher rpm, while its bullpup magazine was increased from 32 to 60. It is equipped with a VAP for attachments such as scopes, bayonets, or variable launchers. It is also equipped with a folding stock by default that can clip onto a Garrisai’s forearm.

- Anti-Armor Waraxe: Designed as a countermeasure to the Anti-Armor saber of the Castel GT, this one-handed melee weapon is best at slashing and chopping. Consisting of a single axe blade, this weapon can include special attachments for pilots skilled in the art of melee combat. Such attachments include a rear-rocket booster that increases damage when thrown, an extended handle to resemble a halberd-like weapon, or a second axe blade to make follow-up attacks quicker.

History
First introduced in the year following the Interstellar Conflict, the Revolta Ground Type was developed as the successor to the Harbinger Ground Type. Built by the Arms Manufacturer Revolta, these machines were intended for use against the Celestial Vanguard, though repeated delays in the prototyping stages prevented these mass-production machines from seeing much action. With so many of these Garrisai just lying around, it was decided that they were to be kept in the nation of Armeli as reserves for the Harbinger Ground Types. Armeli, already in the process of developing their Naval Fleet, decided to vault these machines away in case they were ever needed. This is where they would stay for the course of the Era of Peace.

It wouldn't be until the Armeli Destabilization Era when these machines would be used for the first time in over a century. A new rebellion under the former Armeli Commander, Jack Kendall, had already taken off since the First Armeli Invasion. Jack was eager to find weapons capable of countering the Garrisai of the Lance Core Defensive Military. Upon learning about the hidden Garrisai Vault under their Military’s Command, they promptly led a siege on the base. With the siege being a success, Jack would go on to take the Revoltas out to the LCDM for a rematch. This time, however, he would win.

The Revolta Ground Type would remain the main weapon of Jack Kendall’s faction (now known as the Mercury Legion), and would see frequent use as patrol machines and law enforcers. The Ground Type would also be developed into various sidegrades and prototypes, all of which would be used to combat the still growing Unscathed.

Trivia
- The Revolta and Castel Ground Types, Due to their distant ancestry, have generally similar appearances.
