Shrimp Rider

IPS-N Gibraltar, a pared down, mass production mech designed both for export as well as internal use by both Northstar Galactic Command and Trunk Security. Elements from the Tortuga have been taken to amplify the close-quarters capability of the frame, however it’s smaller and much more simple in construction.

Lancer Pilot Hecate (right) and her little "sister" Trivia (left) debate their next course of action after meeting (awake and in person) for the first time

A product of a successfully failed cloning experiment by a fellow UNI asset (and alleged former/current HORUS member) Trivia seems to have inhereted both Hecate's martial skills and her Aunic/Apollonian affinity with the mysterious Firmament, allowing the clone a similar degree of militant prowess and paracausal ability.

Personality wise Trivia is a stark departure from Hecate's soft spoken and careful nature. The clone's short and violent time spent conscious, along with a brain full of muddy impersonal memories, leaving her with a wildly shortened temper. What Hecate might brush off or ignore Trivia will confront head on, and usually with much more cursing.

Front, Top and Side of the Hopper GEV. The main propulsive force comes from the pair of hefty turboprops mounted on the fat, squat wings, forming the basis of the wing in ground effect allowing the craft to slide above the terrain at high speed. One can also see the air intakes located below the fuselage powering a tertiary engine providing additional lift and thrust meaning the hopper can take on a wider set of cargoes.

Below the cockpit sits the main survey array for mapping out the terrain as it swoops over. If needed, it can also produce sufficient light to illuminate the ground if needed to during night flights, although this is usually frowned upon as the light could disrupt animal life more than necessary.

Its actually a couple of hours before new year’s here, but happy new year to everyone. I haven’t posted much to Tumblr yet, but I’ll hopefully get to getting out more stuff next year. Depending on circumstances, I might post some other content, too.

(to say nothing of the comissions I ordered, which suffice to say keep me up at night with how badass they are)
