PROPULSION
             PRIMARY (FLIGHT):
             2x Rockwheel NRE-01 nuclear rocket engines
             SPEED: 100 mph each (200 mph total)

             PRIMARY (WALKER):
             1x Arctic Motors RE-01 walker engine
             SPEED: 80 mph

WEAPONS:
             PRIMARY (OFFENSIVE):
             1x Lithgear/Militia Military Industries LG/MMI-AC240 240-millimeter autocannon gunpod; Effective Range: 55,296 yards (31.4 miles); Payload: 300-round autoloading tray magazine; ROF: up to 240 rounds per minute.  NOTE: The LG/MMI-AC240 requires the MBR-01T to use both hands to fire due to its heavy recoil.  Thus a crossbar was added to the gunpod for the weapon to be fired with both arms in use.

              SECONDARY (OFFENSIVE):
              2x MMI SRM-01-G missile launcher; Missile Type: standard EFR 10-pound short-range ground-assault missile with computer-guided warhead; Effective Range: 83 miles; Payload: 27 missiles; ROF: 1, 2 or 3 missiles within two seconds.

              TERTIARY (OFFENSIVE):
              1x Bohing/MMI M230-AC-GP 30-millimeter one-ton gunpod; Effective Range: 864 yards; Payload: 2x 100 round drum (200 rounds total); ROF: bursts of 5, 10, or 20 rounds with a cyclic rate of 1200 rounds per minute.

              SECONDARY (ASSAULT):
              1x Orlakon/MMI AC-R20 20 millimeter autocannon; Effective Range: 384 yards; Payload: 125 rounds in a belt-fed magazine; ROF: fires bursts of 5 rounds per discharge with a cyclic rate of 150 rounds per minute.

                 PROXIMAL:
             1x Militia Military Industries MMI-BR-VB16  sixteen foot vibro-blade; Effective Range: melee; ROF: as per the pilot's ability.  Blade is concealed in the MMI-AC240 crossbar hand-hold stabilizer.  This weapon was made of hardened-composite Titanium and crystal-composite alloys.  It is most useful on exosuits, light armored vehicles, and light tanks.  It was never intended for use against main battle tanks or heavy combat walkers.


ELECTRONICS:
             1x Laser Radio Communications array with a 10,000-mile range.
             1x RADAR array with a range of 1000 miles.
             2x Atmospheric Gravitational/Antigravity control unit; Effect: Each gravitational/antigravity generator acts as a recoil compensator for the Lithgear/MMI LG/MMI-AC240 autocannon, and also allows the MBR-01T to hover up to 300-feet above the surface of a planet, moon, or other body.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS:
             1x Heavy Combat Shield located on the LG/MMI-AC240 gunpod; Armor Thickness: 48 inches; Weight: 5 tons.

NOTES: This is a command unit/special operations unit variant of the main battle robot of the Earth Federal Forces in the first installment of the science fiction novel series "Nexus Arcana: The Stygian Conspiracy."  It was created by the main character of the story, Sergeant Major Kabuto Tokugawa.

Description/Overview:
 (MBR-01B "Bombard")
         Just prior to “Operation Clean Sweep”, the EFF contracted MacDonald-Doogrim to build a new, more heavily armed and armored version of the MBR-01 for the EFSM. MacDonald-Doogrim used the existing MBR-01 design and modified the chassis, cockpit canopy, and legs to accommodate the new requirements set forth by the EFF.
         The MBR-01B Bombardment model went into mass production at the MacDonald-Doogrim factories on Earth at the end of 2174 and throughout all of 2175 in preparation for the invasion of Venus. The Bombard played a pivotal role in the invasion of Venus during “Operation Aphrodite” in 2176 AD. The MBR-01B battle robots were designed to combat the UN hovertanks and mobile tanks of the time.
         In concept the MBR-01B was virtually identical to the MBR-01 except for increased armor and the replacement of the AC-R2-04 20 millimeter four barrel auto cannon with the Bophors AC-P105 planet type 105 millimeter auto cannon. This weapon was the main artillery piece used by the Bombard. The M230-ACR was removed from the right arm of the MBR-01B and a small combat shield was added. The MBR-01B used the M230-AC-GP 30 millimeter gun pod as its primary weapon. The MBR-01B also used the SRM-01-G for assault/defense. The reactor of the MBR-01B was identical to the one used by the MBR-01 and MBR-01A.
         The MBR-01B was used in squadrons of 20 units at first (2174 to 2175) however, the MBR-01B was found to be vulnerable to attack by enemy aircraft, so the MBR-01B was intermixed within platoons of MBR-01 and MBR-01A units. A typical EFSM squadron of 2175 consisted of 6 MBR-01Bs, 10 MBR-01s, and 4 MBR-01As. The mission of the MBR-01B changed in 2178 to a purely defensive unit. The MBR-01B once again comprised squadrons of 20 to bolster the defenses of bases and cities on Mars and Venus who were under constant attack by space pirates. Due to the large numbers of MBR-01Bs within the colonies of Mars and Venus, the MBR-01B was the primary defensive mecha for both of those colonial governments when the Ceres Conflict began.
         With the outbreak of war in 2183, the MBR-01B again served alongside the MBR-01 as it had in 2175. Like the MBR-01, the MBR-01B was purely a ground combat unit designed for planetary, moon, planetoid and asteroid combat; and all but useless in open space. Production of the MBR-01B began in 2174 and ended in 2190. A total of 67,500 units were built during that time, all of which served in the three interplanetary wars and the Ceres Conflict.
