The Wendigo is the first production model of a 115 ton ULM (ultra heavy mecha). “Production” being the key word. Whenever a new, especially a larger size class, mecha is introduced to the market the term revolutionary is liberally applied and then there is a great deal of talk about a breakthrough in this or that area. No, the technology to produce this size of mecha has been around since the first 110 ton mecha were constructed but Star Factories, or the Illyrian Hegemony since they are virtually the same thing, did not want to unveil it in order to create a monopoly on the new tech in order to create an army superior to any fielded by the other Major Powers of the galaxy. And then the pointless bureaucracy that is the Hegemony tied the whole thing up in committee reports and long term feasibility projections and the project was deemed classified and shelved and was forgotten… until the Schwarzbär Collective revolution.

In this case the term revolutionary does not describe a new understanding of science/physics/engineering, etc. but rather a political statement. An actual revolution.

The Schwarzbär Collective is one of the two minor or common houses that make up the six ruling houses that is the Illyrian Hegemony. Being common as opposed to noble, their requests for aid in times of crisis or military assistance when needed are not given the same level of urgency as those from the noble houses like Romulus or Strategoi.

So in 3365, after several years of bearing the brunt of the Unification’s second invasion of our dimension without any real or serious aid from the Hegemony the Schwarzbär Collective did something unthinkable and defied the direct orders of the Hegemony and began to produce the Wendigo.

As with all mecha produced by the Schwarzbär Collective division of Star Factories the Wendigo is a Crystal based mecha with a focus in Ice weaponry. As they had to make a functional new mecha without any outside resources the development team used as much as they could from existing materials. Naturally the AI created for this project is simply a larger version of the version used in one of their other projects, the Glaccus.

The offensive focus of their new AI serves to over double the output of Ice weaponry when fully developed. Additional electronic anti-mecha programming feeds false signals into opposing mecha to Slow, and in many cases, completely Freeze their systems and force a restart. Additional programming generates false positive images to enemy targeting systems effectively allowing the Wendigo to Dodge some incoming attacks. To round out the system there is a modest amount of built in Precision to aid pilot aiming. The massive physical size of the AI is not because of the need for memory but to accommodate the eight ports provided to add custom equipment modules.

The power needs of the Wendigo are met by a newly created “Ursa Horribilis” engine. This plant can generate enough power to move the Wendigo at speeds nearing combat optimal which is impressive given the size of the mecha and the low tech limitations. Greate speed can easily be obtained by installing up to seven additional modules as needed. Power overflow is directed into a pair of overload capacitor systems. At first glance the 1.5X and 1.6X output of the overload system may not seem impressive but again the engineering team had little to work with. The decision was made to use a larger amount of the smaller capacitors knowing that many equipment upgrade modules and even some weapons systems included their larger overload systems. By using the smaller capacitors in addition to custom equipment the Wendigo is still capable of producing a full spread of overloaded salvoes with a single pull of the trigger.

The Chassis and Shielding systems of the Wendigo were given the largest amount of technological advancements available to the design team. Starting with the basics, the Shields will reduce any incoming fire by a factor of (65). Additional protection is provided against Projectile and Fire weapons reducing their effectiveness by double digit percentages. Area attacks like Splash and multi-target Fork are both reduced by fully 50%. The final line of defence is a hefty Rebound shield that will direct a significant portion of incoming fire away from the mecha. Five heavy shielding modules can be added to give a full suite of protection against all types of weaponry. Additionally, up to six Chassis modules can be installed into the provided hardpoints.
