Description/Overview:
          The PD-05A Stellar Defender was the first joint mecha built by the Orion Theocratic Republic and the Prodono Androids using the Goro Dei factory at Chi Orionis and the Goro Duragal base at The Moon of Good Hope in the Ross 47 star system. The PF-05A was intended for use by the Prodono Androids using android pilots suitable for the machine in order to replace the obsolete Qonuen Tah Type-175112 Prodono Alliance era space fighter that was not up to the standards of even the Protean mecha of the Orion Theocratic Republic or other Terran stellar nations. As the Prodono Androids were now solidifying their alliance and intended merger with the Orion Theocratic Republic into the Galactic Free Republic in 2193 during the initial phases of the 2nd Interplanetary War, a new Protean fighter, which was taylored to the fighting style and skills of the Prodono Androids was a natural development of this new alliance. While this fighter wasn't built to be a front line unit, it was built for orbital defense of colonies, defense of space station assets like a Goro Dei, and for defense within large space fleets.
