History
The Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle (LEV)
The LEV is the standard combat vehicle in use by the UNSF.
By the late 22nd century, Mankind had colonized Mars, and space colonies are set up in orbit around Jupiter. Fueling this expansion are two scientific advances: the development of the Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle, or LEV, a mecha used for labor and military use, and the discovery of Metatron, a high-energy ore found on Callisto.
Once powerful, capable units, the LEV has become obsolete with the development of Orbital Frame technology.
Overview
A LEV is powered with an arkjet engine, an electric power source used as a propulsion system.
The LEV was the standard mech well before Metatron was discovered and used in all future mech designs. In general, the maneuverability of a LEV is inferior to that of an Orbital Frame and the firepower one generates is not as strong. Certain exceptions, such as the Vic Viper and the Bizac series, are able to match most Orbital Frames, though are created with a hybrid of Orbital Frame and LEV technology.
The majority of LEV's seen are armed with large guns and used as infantry, while others may be used for non-military purposes as well, such as for construction and mining.
Among the variants of the LEV included:
- HarutMarut : a large LEV utilizing metatron advocated by Zephyrs; used mostly in riot control. Roughly 2-3 times the size of the average LEV, assistance intelligence installed enables complex maneuvers to be handled with ease, even by just one pilot. Looks like an octopus, jellyfish, or other similar deep-sea creature.
- HarutMarut II : a version of the HarutMarut with still more improvements. Although the spherical cover parts have been removed, it possesses great durability and a solid defense mechanism. Just like "I," it features self-binder and has the capacity to control itself.
