In the year A.D. 2040, what would later be called the Unification War ended. With its' end came the founding of the Earth Union.
A supranational government, the Earth Union is a governmental body that holds sovereignty and jurisdiction over its' collective member-states. From the humblest nation to the mightiest superpower, all answer to the Earth Union. In turn, they are allowed autonomy relatively close to pre-Unification, so long as their laws do not contradict that of the Earth Union's.
The Earth Union maintains its power through participation of the member-states. All are allocated proportional representation in a parliamentary system. Representatives are elected domestically by their own populations and representatives, who in turn are entrusted with voting for the Prime Minister of the Earth Union for a four-year appointment.
The Earth Union is separated into Districts, and in turn subdivided by pre-Unification national borders. North America, South America, Europe, the Steppes, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia. The Earth Union's agencies maintain jurisdiction within these Districts, such as military, law enforcement, and trade.
The Earth Union is not without its own divisions. Many of the member-states, while willing participants, still chafe at a perceived loss of power and prestige in the new world order. Internal politicking and jockeying for position of primus inter pares is not uncommon. Appointments to positions of power are often a mixture of merit and political bargaining, leading to a general sense of governmental sluggishness.
Nowhere is this more felt than in the armed forces of the Earth Union, the Earth Union Defense Force. While the EUDF has integrated the military talents of the world admirably enough, the friction of political jockeying in the civilian sector often rears its' head in the military as well, leading to the military being an unholy amalgamation of a meritocracy and political dealings. While very few of the military appointments are downright nepotistic, this has led to accusations of failing to maximize the potential talent of humanity's military.
The Earth Union is a young and relatively untested organization, and its rule has not been unchallenged. Though it maintains order from the capital of Unity Station, much of the older generation clamors for the pre-Unification days. Perceiving their new place in the world as a loss of sovereignty at the tip of the nuclear sword, a Separatist Movement across many member-states has been growing for many years.
For all its' flaws, however, the Earth Union and its' Defense Force has without a doubt guaranteed a period of peace. Separatist sympathies notwithstanding, the first thirty years of Unification has seen a period of unprecedented economic growth, scientific advancement, and a flowering of arts. If nothing else, as the EUDF comes to grips with the myriad of threats that have abruptly risen to destroy the Union, many point to the promise of peace and prosperity as something worth fighting for.
The year is A.D. 2070. The following decade will see the Earth Union stand strong or break completely.

Called by both its supporters and detractors as the "Grand Experiment," the Earth Union Defense Force (EUDF) is the steady consolidation of all the armed forces on the planet. It is divided into three broad categories: the Ground Defense Force, the Air Defense Force, and the Naval Defense Force (with the integration of member states' respective Marines incorporated into the Navy).
Each member state of the Earth Union is required by the Pusan Accords to contribute a proportionate amount of their armed forces to a wider EUDF command structure. These personnel who are seconded in this way to the EUDF retain their original uniforms, with the EUDF digital badge sewn into their right shoulder, but are then incorporated into the EUDF formations. It is not uncommon to see a staggering amount of variety in uniform dress; a handful of American Soldiers could be dwarfed by Russian Ground Force uniforms, with the occasional sight of the People's Liberation Army uniform. This has been a source of critique from the older, more established national militaries.
In recent years, the EUDF has been experimenting with creating dedicated EUDF formations, not simply those contributed from the member states' armed forces. Though very small in number, training camps and officer academies beholden only to the Earth Union have begun operations in the larger member states, with their own traditions and uniforms. Whether anything comes of this is yet to be seen.
The EUDF otherwise operates similarly enough to the armed forces of pre-Unification. There is talk of a fourth branch, the Earth Union Space Defense Force, but this development has been temporarily delayed by the abrupt arrival of the Kausen.

The Unification Wars is the label historians give to the multiple conflicts that saw the foundation of the Earth Union. What began as a dispute over the militarization of space ultimately combined with territorial disputes between many of the world's major powers. Only the threat of a nuclear exchange and the relative stronger position of the victorious superpowers ensured that the world's leaders chose Unification over nuclear death.
After multiple setbacks in the beginning of the twenty-first century, the United States began to make breakthroughs in space flight. The creation of the first space flight reconnaissance craft, the Norfolk, was the culmination of their efforts. Despite a stated desire for peace, however, its' use by the United States military as a reconnaissance vehicle drew concern from the other superpowers that the United States was willing to militarize space.
An arms race of sorts began, with Russia, China, and even allies such as the United Kingdom, France Japan, South Korea and more investing heavily into space-worthy craft. Tensions began to grow, a situation not helped by already-existing disputes over territory and economic distribution.
To this day, no one can agree on who or what actually started the war.
What is known is that a superpower's spacecraft opened fire on the other in 9 March, 2020. The weapons, even by today's standards, were utterly inconsequential and were designed to break apart incoming debris rather than engage in orbital warfare. However, it was the very act of firing that triggered the beginning of hostilities.
What followed was two decades of limited and undeclared war.
While cooler heads prevailed and prevented active declarations of war from taking place, proxy wars not seen since the end of the Cold War reemerged. Though these wars were much shorter than in the twentieth century, they were no less violent. The Korean Peninsula, the South China Sea, various hotspots in Africa and the Middle East all saw proxy wars for influence and the diminishment of the other.
It took the threat of the superpowers slowly losing control of their proxies, and the additional threat of terrorists operating on the proxies' behalf hijacking space-capable assets, for the major players to realize that drastic action would be necessary. The Day of Starfall, 10 April 2035, saw multiple cities devastated by hijacked military shuttles plowing from orbit into the financial centers of the periphery, plunging the world's economy into chaos. Powers such as the United States and Russia had lost their abilities to carefully juggle their conflicts against the delicate balance of power and economy, and the sites of their conflicts were threatening to descend into outright anarchy. Some countries had already effectively dissolved, and warlordism threatened to become viable as a means of government.
By the end of 2035, the superpowers set aside their differences and began to forcibly reassert order. After bringing the chaotic regions to heel and eliminating terrorist cells to their satisfaction, the superpowers began a long, drawn out process of establishing a World Government. The results would be the Daegu Accords, the agreement that would pave the way to the establishment of the Earth Union by 2040.
However, while this was willingly embraced by the world's populace, many elites and entrenched power brokers in the former nation states, especially those of the superpowers, seethed at the perceived loss of power. It was these disaffected elements that would slowly begin forming the beginning of a Separatist Movement, though they would not reveal themselves for many years.

Known more infamously as the Separatist Movement, Westphalia (or Westphalians) is the commonly held moniker of those violently dissatisfied with the new status quo. Estimated to already having begun to form as early as A.D. 2044, the Westphalians consist mostly of the elites and local centers of power in their nations prior to Unification. Families of old blood and money, criminal organizations and mercenaries, all who profited from the lack of unity of the Old World, the Westphalians seek a return to the decentralization that characterized most of human history.
They are characterized by greed, selfishness, and a sense of self-importance. Operating in cells like the terrorist organizations of old, these cells operate on old nationalist lines, or in some cases even regional or local lines of distinction. Though they interact with each other and engage in minimal trade, this is largely done through criminal transactions and favors promised and issued. Most Westphalians operate with the veneer of loyal Earth Union citizens: most can be found in positions of economic or political power, with the most skilled of them able to play the game of double-life. Their clandestine operations, however, mostly push for profitable exchanges at the expense of the Earth Union.
Of special interest to the Earth Union Intelligence Services are two high ranking Westphalians: the Red King and PJH. The Red King has been identified as the mastermind behind many terror attacks, including the increasing use of modified civilian and military vehicles. His attacks appear to have the aim of discrediting the presence of the Earth Union. Analysts have been unable to ascertain any further motive, or what his ultimate end goal may be, as many of the attacks appear to strike at random and unconnected areas. PJH, on the other hand, appears to have a much more clearcut focus on profiteering. Smuggling, arms dealing, and all manners of petty and corporate theft all appear to link back to him, but the man is crafty enough to disperse existing evidence or eliminate it outright. He does not actively control or command his compatriots, but many answer to him anyway due to his seniority and the sheer amount of wealth and power at his fingertips.
Of concerning note are various pieces of equipment recovered in recent attacks. It is believed by analysts that the Westphalian movement is attempting to test and create a new type of weapon frame that the Earth Union does not have an effective response to yet. This worrying development, combined with the increase of attacks in the chaos of 2070, has led some analysts to be worried about the Earth Union's ability to contain the more militant Westphalians.

Full Name: Johnathan Devin
Age: 32
Member State of Origin: United States of America
Specialty: Logistics
Notable Actions: Evacuation of Pusan (participant), Kaiju Sample Preservation (initiator)
Current Title: Commandant of the Defense Force Research Institute
An officer of the United States Army, he has been seconded to the Earth Union Defense Forces Sustainment Arm for a good half of his career. He has had a solid, competent, but otherwise unremarkable career.
This changed with the Day of Starfall anniversary in 2069. A favored time of attack for Westphalian terrorists, the at-the-time Captain Devin was the officer in charge of providing movement control for the evacuation of wounded civilians to rear hospital facilities. Later citations would recognize the efforts of Captain Devin and his Soldiers for successfully evacuating 5,000 evacuees from the city of Pusan in one night.
This achievement is often overshadowed by being the first EUDF officer to successfully capture and preserve a sample of kaiju biology. Though this event only became more famous in hindsight, Captain Devin was personally on hand when the kaiju attempting to attack Pusan was repulsed by EUDF assets, though only at great cost. When a large scale crashed near him, Captain Devin acted quickly to preserve the sample through unorthodox means.
It was for this reason that Major Devin was headhunted by Brigadier General Peters to run her new Defense Force Research Institute.
While many of the breakthroughs were originally classified, there is widespread recognition from official sources that they are responsible for the revolutionary design known as 'Variable Configuration.' The Jackal-class patrol truck, an unusual iteration on the venerable Coyote-class, enables the drivers to 'configure' into a humanoid Mecha form. It has already been subjected to great praise by Colonel Franklin Kim of the First Response Corps, citing that it has already been able to enact rescue operations previously thought to be impossible.
The Institute's primary mission - that of the creation of an official Union Super Robot - has recently gone public, and the organization has had nearly two years of development time to back up their claims. Time will only tell if the effort can live up to the current legacy as established by Mercury V and Valiant.

Full Name: Haruko Sasaki
Age: 25
Member State of Origin: Japan
Current Title: Executive Officer, Defense Force Research Institute
Captain Sasaki's career has been based on merit and adversity due to serving in posts at the forefront against the kaiju, and very briefly, the Kausen.
Initial training indicated a natural talent of predictive analysis. She could develop a basic understanding against any opponent, simulated and real, and gain a rudimentary understanding of their objectives and goals. From there, she would devise plans to deny them their objectives, or at least make taking them an expensive proposition.
Having served as a flight control officer and flight dispatch, she is an adept hand at coordinating disparate groups of military personnel to a singular purpose.
Her career as Captain and as a Plans officer has been relatively short. However, she was highly sought out by the Earth Union's Aerial Defense Force (EUADF), to which her superiors acquiesced to the transfer. To be specifically identified by EUDF for service was considered a mark of honor and prestige. Her talents have recently come to the forefront with the arrival of the kaiju, and as a staff officer in the EUDF Pacific Command Sector, she has had a part to play in ensuring civilians were evacuated prior to kaiju alert. Her talents were recently focused on the new threat of the Kausen, but her superior General Armistead had her transferred to the newly founded Defense Force Research Institute.
Officially, she was assigned there because BG Peters 'requested' the brightest talent for the DFRI. Unofficially, General Armistead wanted her to keep an eye on the situation. Though General Armistead has by now more than benefited from the DFRI's contributions, his negative reactions towards the Institute have been puzzling even to her.
She has long since gotten over her initial skepticism of the project, and is a full supporter of Major Devin's efforts.

Current Title: Chief Scientist of the Defense Force Research Institute
"Sam Carlson here! Chief Scientist of the DFRI!"
"What, you thought I was gonna let some nobody write my own biography? Hell no I won't! All you need to know is that I make the Science happen!"
"Damned right. I spent five years in Unity Station trying to push the studies of ESP Theory, but those stuffed shirts weren't having any of it! Wasn't until Major Devin and his crazy DFRI project came along that I was given the resources I need to really make something happen."
"At this point, I can proudly say that the Super Robot is combat ready! It's been combat ready for awhile, I'll be frank - no, not you, Frank - but now we've fully brought it up to our standards! Only the latest in what we've managed to put together, a grand culmination of K-Class kaiju Materials, Psychic Piloting Enhancers, and the best Xenotech brought in from the Legio Galbinus! Just let the next batch of poor bastards come our way. Heh. Their funerals."
"So much to do, not nearly enough time to do it all! But it will be done, or my name isn't Sam Carlson!"
"Sam Carlson, we're done here!"

Full Name: Boris Ignatov
Age: 49
Member State of Origin: Russian Federation
Current Title: Supercomputer Engineer, Defense Force Research Institute
Hailing from Novgorod, Dr. Boris Ignatov's original intention was to pursue an ambition of creating smaller supercomputer interfaces for the Defense Force. Going so far as to establish a small startup company, Novgorod Computing Solutions, he and his engineers had some small successes with Defense Force contracts but never quite managing to come close to their original goal.
This all changed when Brigadier General Peters reached out to Dr. Ignatov with a job offer.
Though he is arguably even further away from his original goal of a miniaturized supercomputer, Dr. Ignatov is simultaneously the closest he's ever come to it. With the discovery of pre-Unification databases underneath the Institute, Dr. Ignatov is responsible for turning what was nearly identified as a pre-Unification virus into a series of sentient Artificial Intelligence programs. It is also through his efforts with Dr. Carlson that the creation of the Man Machine Interface, with assistance from his adopted 'daughters,' was even possible.
A quiet and reserved soul, Dr. Ignatov feels the weight of his years starting to - but not quite - creep up on him. Major Devin can count him as a staunch ally, given that through their cooperation he knows he will leave his mark on the world.

The 'Sisters,' as they are colloquially known throughout the DFRI, are the results of the unique strings of code discovered by Major Devin and Dr. Ignatov. Having no physical bodies to call their own, they are all administrative programs represented by their own unique avatars that assist and help the personnel through day-to-day operations at the DFRI.
The sisters go by the names of Katarina, Ivanna, Diana, and Lana.
Katarina, the 'eldest' sister, has the computing power to be everywhere in the facility at once. Cheerful and bubbly, she is simply happy to help out or to poke fun at you to prevent your ego from growing bigger than your head. Katarina's Support provides +1d6 to ANY action once per turn. This refreshes every turn.
Ivanna is the calm bedrock against which the highly volatile enthusiasm of the Science department heads, Sam Carlson and Maximiliane Brand, is anchored against. Calm and thoughtful, she ensures that what the science department proclaims actually works before allowing the results anywhere near the Commandant's Office. Ivanna's Calm allows one Science Action to be re-rolled per turn. This refreshes every turn.
Diana adopts the personality of a model officer, albeit one that is always on the lookout for more efficient methods of accomplishing the goal. If you assign her a task with any of the Defense Force assets, she will make it her mission to accomplish more than what was asked for with the same amount of assigned resources. Diana's Creativity allows one Defense Force Action to roll at a Threshold of -1. This cannot be lowered below 1.
Lana, the youngest, is by far the grumpiest of the sisters. This is somewhat more understandable when one realizes she works with Wilde and Henry on a regular basis. Still, her sheer stubbornness means that any setbacks only encourages her to try again, and again, until she succeeds. Lana's Stubbornness allows you to re-roll ANY dice that lands on 1.

Ivanna's Calm allows one Science Action to be re-rolled per turn. This refreshes every turn.
Diana adopts the personality of a model officer, albeit one that is always on the lookout for more efficient methods of accomplishing the goal. If you assign her a task with any of the Defense Force assets, she will make it her mission to accomplish more than what was asked for with the same amount of assigned resources. Diana's Creativity allows one Defense Force Action to roll at a Threshold of -1. This cannot be lowered below 1.
Lana, the youngest, is by far the grumpiest of the sisters. This is somewhat more understandable when one realizes she works with Wilde and Henry on a regular basis. Still, her sheer stubbornness means that any setbacks only encourages her to try again, and again, until she succeeds. Lana's Stubbornness allows you to re-roll ANY dice that lands on 1.
Full Names: Adam Wilde, and James Henry
Ages: 25 and 32
Member State of Origin: United States of America
Current Title: Engineering Officer in Charge and Non-Commissioned Officer in Charge
To say that this pair is eccentric is a gross understatement. Originally based in the EUGDF Alameda Proving Grounds, LT Wilde and Sergeant Henry were originally known for being incredibly creative, but also a significant headache for their commanding officers. As often as they were responsible for miracles of repairs, they were known for just as many wrecks from their experiments. It was from one such experiment that caught the eye of Major Devin. This attention turned what was a flight of fancy into one of the modern breakthroughs of Engineering.
Responsible for the 'Variable Configuration' concept, Wilde and Henry are the brains behind the mechanical frames that house the other scientific miracles of the DFRI. Effectively creating transforming (or configuring) mecha, they are also responsible for the Combining Configuration concept behind the Timberwolf and the Foxhound, and are still hard at work creating and refining new designs. It is safe to say that the DFRI would not have a Super Robot without their efforts.
Where Wilde is enthusiastic about his work, cheerful, and practically goofy to a fault, Henry is stoic, quiet, and precise. Together, they create the bodies of the DFRI's Super Robots.
By now, they can claim they are professionals. So please don't try this at home.

Full Name: Louis Peters
Age: 60
Member State of Origin: United Kingdom
Current Title: Commanding General of Research and Development, EUDF
Louis Peters is one of the longest-serving military personnel in the EUDF, and is one of the few remaining who have served in His Majesty's Royal Army before and after Unification. Beginning service right out of graduation from university, her performance was mostly mundane. However, she became much more involved in the Unification Wars as the United Kingdom became drawn into the conflict.
There is very little a public dossier can say legally. Her superiors clearly saw some raw talent in the otherwise unremarkable Peters, as the majority of her campaign credits are still classified to this day. However, she was instrumental in stabilization operations in the aftermath of the Day of Starfall, and she has continued to lead a distinguished career since.
Peters has been the Commanding General of Research and Development since 2065. She promptly made herself a 'bloody nuisance' to policymakers in Unity Station, as she was utterly appalled at the state of the Union's armaments. However, her constant demands to begin a modernization program largely fell on deaf ears, especially considering the many decades of peace.
By 2070, General Peters now appears to be a very forward thinking individual, and has been given the resources she needs to begin upgrades suitable to the threats the Union faces.
Her most controversial decision has been regarding the creation of the 'Defense Force Research Institute.' The goal of creating the Union's own Super Robot has been met with incredulity at best, and open derision at worst. However, Peters remains stubborn on the issue. While openly praising the existing Super Robots for all they do, they are the biggest indication of just how far the Defense Force has to catch up.
She has recently confirmed her actions with the public unveiling of the DFRI's primary mission: the creation of the Defense Force's own home-grown Super Robot. Far from becoming a source of ridicule beyond die-hard critics, at the time of announcement the project has had nearly two years of development time and is reportedly battle-ready.

Nothing to see here. Especially since I don't think you have the clearance now, do you? 
Hailing from the mechanical planet of Mekaen, not all of the Kausen are hostile. It is only thanks to the efforts and quick thinking of 1LT Callaghan that it was discovered (and is currently highly restricted information) that there is a strong point of internal division. It is also thanks to 1LT Callaghan's efforts that the Union is, if not quite allied, actively cooperative with the friendlier portion.
Dubbed the Legio Galbinus, so-named according to their own cultural norms and in honor of their leader, the Legion is led by Galbinus-R, whose position in Mekaen is analogous to a Captain in a law enforcement/military capacity. Leading a group of ten Kaus including himself, he and the hostile faction of Kausen were brought here through unknown means. The so-called "Free Brothers" were already known criminals on their homeworld, and while he and his mechs find themselves on a mostly hostile alien world, Galbinus' mission has not changed:
Bring the Free Brother Tyrannous to justice.
The DFRI has recently constructed an Enclave not far from the campus grounds as a friendly gesture and form of cooperation with the Legion to garner their assistance and technology. Both groups have closely cooperated for the better part of a year now, and relations are reasonably warm.

Dice Rolls
This game system operates largely based on the Tiny Frontiers system. That is to say, 2d6.
All rolls are categorized as "Tests." To overcome a test, you must roll 2d6. A 5 or 6 on any dice will automatically count as a success, and the Test will be overcome. Anything below will count as a failure.
There are of course modifiers to this.
If I deem you roll at a Disadvantage, you only get to roll 1d6. The opposite holds true for rolling at an Advantage. The success threshold remains the same in either scenario.
Combat is much the same. When two combatants engage, they both roll for Initiative based on 2d6, with (Dis)Advantage modifiers. Whoever wins, gets to go first. In order to land an attack, one will roll 2d6. If they succeed (remember, a 5 or 6), they strike successfully for 1 HP.

Designing, Testing and Building your Super Robot
Every turn, the Player will be allocated Resource Points. This is something I abstract as encompassing funding, materials, unwritten favors and so forth. The Player is operating on an entirely different scale than most actors, as they have the Earth Union's backing.
These Resource Points (now referred to as RP) are used to hire people, conduct wargames/studies of enemies, assembling prototype frames, proofs of concept, etc. But above all, RP are also used to even attempt Research options, the resolution of which is resolved by 2d6 Tests.
Additionally: though this is not reflected in Turn One, your monthly income of RP will be reflected at the beginning of your voting choices. You cannot bank RP for longer than one turn.
In a normal point-buy system, all of the options would already be available for players to preview. In Super Robot Quest, this is not so. The players need to first figure out what they can even do, then they build the prototype, then they have to test it, then they can actually begin considering it as an option for point-buy. Most components will cost 1 RP to buy, 2 - 3 for the more exotic components.
Constructing the Super Robot is considered a special action, and will require at least 5 RP investment to attempt. Players can create a Super Robot with components that cost 0 RP; those components will be considered to be standard equipment (insofar that the rest of the world considers it cutting edge). However, components that cost RP are what make the Super Robot actually Super.
Example
For example, the Engineers first need to figure out how to even construct a robotic frame before they can do anything to even help the Science team. Then they get the Defense Force teams to provide test pilots and a simulated environment to see if it is a feasible design. All of this would be resolved with 2d6 challenges. If the build is considered to be feasible, then that robotic frame will always be available as an option for future Super Robot builds. It will also be available as a means to placate the conservative military heads. The frame by itself isn't terribly useful, but you can adapt a small scale version of it for whatever the EUDF wants to do with it. Peters will take it off your hands, and with it will ensure you keep receiving resources.

Each Adviser will provide you options each turn, much like in other Quests you can see in the board. They are broken up into Defense Force, Engineering, and Science.
NOTE: Under most circumstances, you can take as many options in the Adviser categories as you have the RP available for. However, there will be certain choices which will see "CHOOSE ONE." In that case, even if you have the available RP, you are locked to one choice in that category.
This will likely make more sense when Turn One is unveiled, but in a nutshell:
Defense Force - Captain Sasaki will provide options utilizing the Defense Force. These can range from providing test pilots, screening the wider EUDF for pilot candidates for the full scale Super Robot, sending observers to attack sites, and so forth.
Engineering - Dr. Ignatov and Katarina, along with 1LT Wilde and SFC Henry, will get to work on actually designing and constructing things. Once the Science figures out how to build a Super Robot, the Engineers are given the task to interpret in what way to build it and with what bells and whistles. Super Robots are going to go through a LOT of prototype iterations, so don't be discouraged; it's better to get it right.
Science - Dr. Carlson and his lab boys and girls will make sure the secrets to psychic powers and kaiju samples will be unlocked! FOR SCIENCE!
They will unlock the principles behind the mad science available to you and then make sure they are in a format that the Engineering team can understand. They will also analyze any enemy remains or artifacts that you capture, for wider dissemination in the EUDF and to see if you can incorporate them into your own designs.

SCIENCE!

They will also analyze any enemy remains or artifacts that you capture, for wider dissemination in the EUDF and to see if you can incorporate them into your own designs.
A Note about Combat
As you might have seen through the tone of this Quest so far, the players do not actually engage into combat directly. That's the pilots' jobs.
However! You are responsible for giving them the weapons they need to do the job at all. Fighting a Kaiju requires a giant robot. It's your job to build one. (See Above)
Now, when you decide that your Super Robot is ready for battle, you will create a support detachment in charge of taking it out into battle. You will appoint a pilot to command the unit, and that pilot will go into battle on the behalf of you and the EUDF.
Before entering combat, you will hold a pre-battle briefing between yourselves and the pilot, analyze the situation, and then brief the pilot on how you want them to engage the enemy. I will interpret those orders, and then I will roll out combat. Players, however, will roll for Initiative.

The chances of success are going to be somewhat low in the beginning. I want to make clear that this is not something to get discouraged over. Failure is not the end-all cut-off. If you fail, even THAT will unlock new options that success might not have. In all the adviser categories, you will also unlock different means through which you can gain new bonuses to your rolls.
In the beginning, to quote Cave Johnson, you are "throwing Science at the wall and seeing what sticks." The Earth Union is just figuring this out, and not everything is going to be a raucous success at first. When you get towards the mid-game? You will be as well established as GGG was.
Above all: Have FUN! I'm just happy to be able to write this!

EUDF Overview - New Inventory
- Location
- USA
Some of you all were asking for a quick refresher on what mecha was originally based on what chassis. I understand this far into the quest this can be a bit confusing, so have a fluff piece!
Earth Union Defense Force Technical Primer
Inventory Updates as of 03282072
As directed by the General Officer (Commanding) of the Research and Development Branch (BG Peters), the following items as of the time of publishing are officially available on all applicable units' Tables of Organization and Equipment. The following items supersede previous chassis that are now classified as obsolete (spare parts and maintenance equipment still apply and may be retained per decision of the Commanding Officer).
CR-01 Jackal
- Supersedes the Coyote Patrol Truck
- General purpose, all terrain truck chassis
- Can reconfigure into humanoid Mecha to traverse rough and urban terrain
- Compatible with crew-served infantry-scale weapons and Coyote armaments
CR-02 Phalanx
- Supersedes the Buckler IFV
- Heavily armored troop transport platform
- Can reconfigure into humanoid Mecha for close combat firefights in rough and urban terrain
- Not yet in mass distribution to EUDF Depots
CR-05 Centurion
- Supersedes the Stalwart MBT
- Main battle tank platform and weapon delivery system
- Can reconfigure into humanoid Mecha for long range bombardment and direct fire capabilities
V-33 TMU
- Compatible with the Sparrowhawk and Gargoyle maintenance programs
- Dual purpose gunship - can interchange between aerial superiority and ground support gunship platforms on demand
- Modularity - can be reconfigured for separate mission profiles (of note is the 'Longship' close air support role)
This list is not conclusive. Additional projects as approved by the General Officer of Research and Development are expected to enter distribution at an undetermined time schedule. Refer all requisition and maintenance issues to your respective chains of command.

Quick addendum: Linked Telemetry can also apply to forcing an enemy attack roll (still must keep that new result). That's the intention I had for it, but looking back I realize the text doesn't quite reflect that - I'll have that fixed moving forward.
I would normally place that under a QM Note tag, but the board had flagged my response as 'too short.' Hopefully that fixes it.

[X] Use Call Out on whatever seems to be the most dangerous enemy, whenever it is available.
[X] Save Linked Telemetry unless something new shows up, or if an enemy needs to be taken down ASAP, at which point make use of it if needed. Alternatively, if it can be used to prevent Ichiro from taking damage from something that does more than 2 damage, do so.

Enemies have been identified. 2x Tank-Mobiles (?), 1x Walker formations.
The first Tank-Mobiles are burning rubber trying to get to Ichiro. They begin firing Conventional Weaponry.
Rolls: 5+4.
They inflict 1 HP.
The second formation attempts to follow up on their compatriots' 'success.' Firing Conventional Weaponry.
Rolls: 2+6.
1 HP inflicted.
The Walkers trundle up behind the cobbled together rovers. Hand-held rotary cannons begin to spool up...
Rolls: 2+2.
The automatic fire tears up a lot of the surrounding landscape, but the only rounds that land ricochet off of Ichiro's armor.
Banner is not amused - the 'tank' accelerates at full throttle, aiming the turret at the nearest Tank-Mobile.
Rolls: 3+5.
Tank-Mobile formation desperately attempts to dodge, showing Lesser Agility.
Rolls: 6+5!
It seems like they shouldn't be able to, but they can dodge quite well!...but Ichiro is a Notable Character, they aren't. Uses Notable to Strike again!
Rolls: 6+6!
Um. Well. Even if Agile applied to successive strikes, a crit hit is a crit hit. Deals double damage (2 base, 2 from Zirvitium Gauntlets), 4 HP!
Ichiro Configures into mecha mode and gives the rip-offs a piece of his mind. The Tank-Mobiles go flying, though as a few come apart at the seams, he notices something unusual...

Tactical Analysis comes into play. Anna realizes these Tank-Mobiles must be prototypes or proofs-of-concept for Westphalian configuration!
And as if to prove her point, the remains of the group that Ichiro had so thoroughly smashed begin configuring!
Rolling: 5!
The configuration process, however...it's not smooth. Malfunction! (Loses d6 on next roll)
First Tank-Mobile group ready Disposable Rocket Tubes. Despite the complications, they attempt to fire at Ichiro!
Rolling: 1+1!
Critical failure! The launchers completely fail to hit Ichiro - one explodes in the user's hands, inflicting 1 HP further to the group.
Second Tank-Mobile group Configures!
Rolls: 1!
No complications! The second group's configuration is much more dignified.
Second tank-Mobile formation readies Disposable Rocket Tubes. Firing!
Rolling: 4+3!
The rockets fail to inflict damage.
The Walkers are already starting to not like the writing on the wall. They ready their Main Cannons.
Rolling: 4+5!
The shots land successfully against the not-so-ordinary Centurion frame. Ichiro suffers 2 HP.
Anna has determined that the Walkers pose the bigger threat to Ichiro. She uses Call Out to reduce future Walker attack rolls by d6! Effect will last until end of Round Five.
Ichiro smashes into the weakened Tank-Mobile group, not wanting to deal with these jokers any longer.
Rolling: 2+1.
He rolls again making use of Notable.
Rolling: 5+3!
The last of the first Tank-Mobile group finally goes down. It's clear these are a step up from the first models (not that it took much...).

Anna's Tactical Analysis: This was a smash and grab operation, they didn't think you would be here or they wouldn't be trying these machines without more QC/QA. I've updated their suspected stats below with what I've actually seen.

Battling the Brute! - Rounds 4-6 Rolls
- Location
- USA
The QM clearly can't read his own notes. Call Out wasn't supposed to refresh until Round Eight, but I typed in Round Five. I'll give you this one, but the next full refresh stands!
Ichiro to take down the Walkers and Tank Mobiles first, but save the Arm Cannon to use against "The Brute" when possible. Use Shard Kits at Ichiro's discretion.
Anna saves Call out to use against "The Brute", saves Linked Telemetry for whatever appears to be The Brute's strongest attack.
Steeds focus on lesser enemies (Walkers first, then tank-mobiles). Use Flares when the reinforcing Tank mobiles use their disposable rocket launchers. Once Tank Mobile's Disposable Rockets are used up, use Flares on the Brute whenever it is not affected by Anna's Call out.

DFRI: Rolls
Walkers are desperately backing off, firing their rotary cannons at Ichiro.
Rolls: 5+2!
The deadly purpose of the rotary cannons becomes more apparent as the firing rate accelerates. Inflicts 1 HP! Rolls for increasing damage at Disadvantage (1d6)!
Rolls: 2!
The rest of the ground around Ichiro is torn to shreds, but Ichiro is unharmed otherwise.
Ichiro charges in, wanting to hoard his options until the Brute arrives. He charges at the Walkers.
Rolls: 1+4.
Misses, but applies Notable to try again.
Rolls: 6+3!
Hits! Ichiro lands a solid hit on the Walkers, dealing 1+1 HP.
The Steeds zoom into the opening provided by Ichiro. Death by three cuts! (The 997 others can come later) Striking at Disadvantage (1d6):
Rolls: 6! 5! 5!
The Intelligence pilots are frighteningly competent so far. All three Strikes connect; the Walkers are torn apart and are out of the combat.
For destroying the Walkers before reinforcements can arrive, Union forces have a chance to wrest the initiative back. Will succeed on 4-6.
Rolls: 4!
Success; Ichiro and the Steeds have a chance to ready themselves. They now go first in the turn order.

Enter the Brute. Reinforcements have arrived a touch too late - but the battle continues. The Super-Heavy Walker, "The Brute," has arrived, escorted by 2x Tank-Mobile+ squads (in vehicle mode).
Ichiro: The big monster will be less scary without the helpers. Go after the rip-offs! Striking first Tank-Mobile+ squad!
Rolls: 4+1.
Misses. Notable applies, striking again.
Rolls: 1+5.
Hits; successfully smashes into the squad.
The Tank-Mobile+ attempt to swerve out of the way with Lesser Agility:
Rolls: 6+2.
They successfully dodge; no damage taken.
Steeds decide to keep the Tank-Mobile+ targeted by Ichiro off-balance. It's a regular old dirty rally as they surround and slam into the Westphalian vehicles.
Rolls: 5, 2, 3.
They land one hit; Tank-Mobile+ rolls Limited Agility with Diminishing Returns (must roll 6 to succeed).
Rolls: 4+1.
Fails; they sustain 1 HP of damage.
Anna uses Call Out on the Brute immediately! "Let's not risk anything with big and stompy over there..." Reduces the Brute's attack rolls by d6 for the next Three Rounds (wears off at Round Eight).
The Tank-Mobiles aren't going to just take this. They slam back into the Steeds.
Rolls: 3+5!
Success; the Steeds attempt to dodge via Super Agility.
Rolls: 4+2!
No success at all - the Steeds prove their combat agility with grace.
The second Tank-Mobile squad charge after Ichiro.
Rolls: 6+2!
Hits! Inflicts 1 HP on Ichiro.
The Brute has already identified Ichiro as the biggest threat. It stomps after him, launching a Rocket Claw!
Rolls: 6+3! (Yes, with Call Out in play)
It smashes into Ichiro, slamming him to the ground for 2 HP! Rolls again at Disadvantage (1d6) for follow up!
Rolls: 2!
The Rocket Claw flings Ichiro towards debris, but he manages to make the landing instead.

Battling the Brute! - Rounds 7-9 Rolls
- Location

Targeting priority remains unchanged: take down the tank mobiles first, but use heavy weapons against the brute.
Ichiro should use rage at the same time as the Steeds use flares to distract the Brute, so that the Brute does not target Ichiro while rage is active
Anna's orders remain unchanged.
Ichiro to take down the Walkers and Tank Mobiles first, but save the Arm Cannon to use against "The Brute" when possible. Use Shard Kits at Ichiro's discretion.
Anna saves Call out to use against "The Brute", saves Linked Telemetry for whatever appears to be The Brute's strongest attack.
Steeds focus on lesser enemies (Walkers first, then tank-mobiles). Use Flares when the reinforcing Tank mobiles use their disposable rocket launchers. Once Tank Mobile's Disposable Rockets are used up, use Flares on the Brute whenever it is not affected by Anna's Call out.

So this fight went a bit differently than I expected it to. I was honestly expecting the Brute to stick it out and fight, but you were all able to get rid of its support a bit faster than I thought (and I figured just throwing some in immediately would be a bit cheap). But much like capital ships without escorts, super heavies go down pretty quickly, and Ichiro with Rage + Arm Cannon can inflict a LOT of damage
Also, for reference: Yes, that was a Super Heavy Weapon. No, it wasn't well optimized by Westphalia. But they have the ideas for one now. I'll give you all a few guesses where they got the idea/equipment for it from.
