A New Tomorrow
The Prime Minister of the Federation step on up to the podium "People of Earth, Luna, and Space! Today is a momentous day.



"This is Nineball, have we confirmed that the AO is clear"

"Affirmative. Green to engage."

Fifteen MS marched on the isolated tower, the building itself was ten stories tall as wide as about two Zakus and twice as long. Intel also suggested underground levels as well. Displayed proudly at the top in bright red letters was the words Luna Marshal.

"Roger. Attention Luna Marshal! We have the building surrounded! Surrender peaceably and you will be-"

"Old Man! Move!"



"Today is the day we welcome our Luna born brothers and sisters fully into our great Federation! For too long has fear of the unknown kept them from pledging their loyalty."



The S9 custom leapt out of the way as a beam of yellow energy shot from the building. More followed as the walls of the building were ripped apart from the inside. Most of the shots missed however two found their mark the First GM's shield was cut clean through but the beam only knocked it to the ground, the second was not as lucky as the shot went clean though his cockpit.

"My ECA was completely overwhelmed!"

"All units! Go evasive!"

The wall facing Nineball collapsed and though the dust and ruble shone seven glowing red eyes.



"Despite the work of traitors and maniacs our Federation is stronger than ever."



The enemy Mobile Suite marched out of the shadows in it's hands was an over sized beam rifle from which a round container was ejected out of the back, a new container was loaded it to the rifle.

"Return Fire!"

"Fire!"

Five of the "Hi" Zakus leapt in to the air as the two on the ground were torn to shreds by beams and machine gun fire.



"Now we will all fight together for a better future."



"Damn their fast!"

"They only get one shot with those rifles, but just one is fatal!"

A beam from one of the Hi-Zaku rips the arm off a GM Raid but two shots from it's beam carbine destroy the offending MS.

"Just stay mobile!"

Another Hi-Zaku was ripped apart by machine gun fire.

"We got them on the run!"

"More bogies! Three MS approaching at high speed!"

"What!"



"We must now work for-"



The new arrival was unarmed as we're its escorts, none-the-less the three remaining Hi-Zakus made a beeline toward it. One was killed by pursuing GMs.

"Take them out, don't let them get away."

"Wait!"

The blue Zaku raised it's right hand toward the GMs as it's eye glowed red. The two Zakus charged without regard into the pursuing MS. Both grappling onto a GM each.

"Are you alright?"

"It's a reactor detonation! Get away! Get-"



"-our New Tomorrow!" People cheered.

The fireworks drowned out the sound of two reactor explosions.




"We lost three pilots, and five of our suits are out of commission but we got most of them. Unfortunately enemy suicide attacks aloud two of the enemy's new MS to escape. Luna Marshal is done for though so over all not a bad result."

"Copy Nineball, return to base."

(Minor Faction: Luna Marshal has been destroyed!)
(Von Braun is now apart of the Federation!)
(New MS revealed: MS-06F-Hi-01 "Hi-Zaku")
(Enemy Ace revealed: "Puppet Master", MS: YMS-06TX Zaku EXAM Test Type)

[x] Research Report: Lance and Pulse

That feeling when you want to line up the traitors against a wall. Also calling hax on core detonation on demand.

And there is the EXAM system that I was waiting for. Wonder what poor sap they stole the soul of this time.
 
Rest for the Wicked should come right before the battle imo so that leaves the Research, or the Interrogation interlude, which I'll go with the former first.

The Hi-Zaku is a wholly Luna Marshal design
Not every zaku look alike is made by Zeon. Jupiter has a bunch of MS that look like Zakus as well. The Hi Zack is also a design made by and for the Federation by a certain shifty company.

Yeah, ain't the Zaku I & II canonically the easiest MS to build and pilot ever? It wouldn't surprise me if the design specs have been leaked onto the open market.
 
Those are too far away to get. At most we have just under 9 years left and even with our more rapid development and push we won't be able to get those. The Jegans and maybe the heavy guns are going to be the lastest deployed units by that point.
I get what you mean, but that's a bad example, seeing as the Heavygun was developed after the Unicorn.
 
Interesting looks like we should switch all AA guns and anti-ms guns on ships to pulse AA guns instead. Better power, speed, and accuracy and probably the same size as normal AA guns. Plus less ammo to carry for them.

I'd wait until we know how many slots they take up but it would be nice to standardize.

For Reference:
AA are 0.5 each
Anti-MS are 1 each

The only reason we went with the two types is because the damage output was so different between the two. With the pulsed lasers having the speed and accuracy and a damage output between the two it is now the preferred unit for defense. As for size it is likely to be .5 as it is just a straight upgrade and replacement for the normal AA guns.
