Saladin

The Saladin is a hardy and efficient platform for full-squad support shielding. Based on early defense-oriented versions of the Genghis, the Saladin became the stuff of Armory legend following the exploits of Harrison I “Fearkiller” during the Interest War.

Since its first iteration, the Saladin has proved successful in a defensive and support role; it has even become a mainstay among Union Department of Justic and Human Rights liberator teams engaged in emancipation and refugee escort missions, despite the ideological (and, often, tactical) friction between the Armory and the DoJ/HR. Records from these engagements indicate that the Saladin’s massive bulk alone was a comfort and morale boost to DoJ/HR troopers and their charges, many of whom referred to the mechs as “Big Sal”. Union-flagged Saladin pilots often report null balances on bar tabs following engagements in emancipated systems.

Reinforced Frame

The Saladin has Immunity to Shredded.

Guardian

Adjacent allied characters can use the Saladin for hard cover.

Warp Shield

1/round, the Saladin can give +1 difficulty to any attack against it or an allied character within Sensors as a reaction before the roll is made.

Core System: Tachyon Loop

Developed by the Think Tank as a joint venture with IPS-Northstar’s Stellar Engineering Unit, the Tachyon Loop uses a closed-loop system to restrain and manipulate a tachyon lance, accelerating tachyons at faster-than-light speeds around a central buckler. The buckler can be carried by a mech or mounted directly, interceding directional incoming fire. As the tachyons travel faster than light, they are invisible to the naked eye, giving the shield the appearance of a large spoked wheel.

ACTIVE - Tachyon Shield

This system projects an accelerated-tachyon shield over an allied character within Sensors. You may choose a new target as a quick action. Gain the Defensive Pulse reaction for the rest of the scene.

Defensive Pulse

1/round when your target is attacked, you empower their tachyon shield with a pulse of energy. They gain Resistance to all damage from the attack, and if the attack misses, you may force the attacker to reroll it against a character or object of your choice, checking line of sight and Range from your target instead of from the attacker. If the attack was part of an area of effect, the new target must be inside the same area of effect from the original attack instead.

Flash Anchor//Shield

Hardlight Defense System//Shield

3 SP

This system creates a burst 3 hardlight shield. While the shield is in place, you become Immobilized. It blocks line of sight in both directions, and no attacks or effects can pass through (even if they don’t require line of sight). Characters partially within the affected area ignore this effect and draw line of sight as usual.

Characters can pass through the shield, but when crossing the perimeter for the first time in a round or starting their turn overlapping the boundary, they take 2 Burn.

This shield lasts for the rest of the scene, or until deactivated as a protocol.

Noah-Class NHP//AI

3 SP

These effects apply until the end of your next turn:

You become Slowed.
Each time you or an allied adjacent character are targeted by a ranged attack, you may take 1 heat as a reaction and roll 1d6 before the attacker rolls: on 4+, you take an additional 1 heat and the attack automatically misses you and any allies adjacent to you. This effect does not stack with Invisible.
Each time a ranged attack fails to hit you or an adjacent allied character, the attacker takes 4 kinetic damage.
