Ace pilots, especially in the #ColonialCompact, are given certain permissions for personal expression in their uniforms that their less successful pilot counterparts may not receive. This manifests as an incredible variety of machines, uniforms, and the pilots within them. #mech #pilot #ttrpg

Yet more variants of the Gupp II, the workhorse of the Colonial Compact's #mech Fleet. Again, be sure to follow @siegefault.bsky.social for more sneak peeks of concept art!

okay that's enough machine liveries, i gotta draw their fuckin pilots. @operationv.bsky.social

The Rodeo Fleet, a union of independent deep space freight crews, is responsible for the safe transport and processing of asteroids in a sol system where resource extraction on Earth is impossible. The Chavez is their first KM intended for combat- It's smaller than a Gupp, but extremely durable.

Be sure to follow @siegefault.bsky.social , our lead artist, for occasional snippets of art and lore from our game, with much more to be posted here on the main page!

As the first real KM #mech frame, you can find the Colonial Compact’s “Gupp” family of machines equipped for any number of roles- combat or civilian. Shown here are three such Gupps, equipped for wildly different roles in wildly different environments. #ttrpg #conceptart #OpV #mechmonday

There are seven Vuno class auroral low-orbit stations, run by the Panthalassan Alliance- named for the tallest mountains on each continent. Originally built to repair the atmosphere by dispersing aerosols, they now exist as a stark, militarized reminder of who controls Earth's air and space access.

Mobile Attendants (often shortened to Tendas or Tendies), are autonomous all-terrain workstations developed to monitor reef health as part of Earth's rehabilitation efforts. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to see them on military installations, roaming around as mascots- always happy to help!

In the African Interior Union, large mobile command centers patrol the rehabilitated regions of the continent, ensuring both the safety of reintroduced formerly extinct species, and the security of AIU lands in the face of meddling by any and all foreign threats- orbital or terrestrial.

The #Ticuxi is the modular workhorse of the Panthalassan Alliance's #mech fleet. With a polymerized internal frame and a standardized set of hardpoints, the Ticuxi can be adapted to fill any necessary combat role. The PA has made full use of this flexibility, fielding Ticuxi binary squads all over.

While space-born pilots may struggle with the fixed planes of reference while on Earth, they find themselves well suited to the ocean. Colonial forces have been seen retrofitting their KMs for deep water applications, and have seen great success hassling the Panthalassan Alliance's surface vessels.

Unlike most KMs, the G-Orca traces its origin to racing craft. As such, the pilot adopts a more supine position, much like the recreational vehicles of the past- and is held with integrated tethers to restrain the pilot against the forces experienced within one of the most agile machines ever made.

The bubble-like cockpits of KMs designed for use in space give the pilot an unparalleled ability to track the movement of many reference points in zero-G environments. Now that these suits are being deployed on Earth, many Space-born pilots complain of "horizon sickness" while trying to adapt.
