Description
Built by the Jacob's Corp, the Grand Marines are the backbone of the Jacob's army. These soldiers are keeping the outer edges of the Galaxy safe, and on the front lines of any Jacob offensive.
The main weapon of the Grand Marines is their Omni-Assault Weapon Platform, which is basically three guns in one. It has an assault riffle mode, that fires actual bullets, a grenade launcher for explosive impact, and a heavy repeating laser to devastate shields and deal heavy heat damage. All three weapons can be fired simultaneously for a devastating assault. A squad of Grand Marines can lay down an impressive wall of firepower against any enemy, making them very impressive.
The Grand Marine is heavily armored with powerful back thrusters. To allow for all this power draw, the targeting systems in the Grand Marine are relatively lack luster, nothing more than a recital that the pilot must manually aim. The Grand Marines are meant to be front lines infantry units, and thusly must be affordable to mass produce, which is why they have this weakness.
The Grand Marines have 5.3 inch macro-titanium armor, and a grade 2 energy shield. They have powerful thrusters on their back to propel their large bulk and allow rapid repositioning. The Grand Marines have proven themselves effective units with a long track record of success. The Grand Marines have been in place for the past 500 years and have gone through very few updates or changes in that time. They are proven to be effective, and have a reputation as one of the most reliable front lines Mechs ever created.
