History
Machine Calibers were a class of mecha that were developed by the Galactic Alliance of Humankind after this branch of humanity migrated into deep space.
Overview
In appearance, Machine Calibers were humanoid shaped mecha that stood taller than human beings and allowed their pilots to survive in deep space, underwater or other such conditions. These mecha were independent mobile weapons that supported a single pilot.
These were known as a Pilot Support Enlightenment Interface System that accomplished the purpose of their existence by their operator achieving further success with increasingly greater results. Connection between pilot and the machine was achieved through neural-plus power. Maximisation of this was not permitted without medical personnel present as it led to a merger whereby the machine absorbed the pilot. If allowed, all systems connected to the pilots central nervous system and increased performance output by 153% but this could only be sustained for 482 seconds until critical failure of vital systems. It was stated that Caliber AI's were not able to reject their operators from piloting them. However, certain AI's were able to reason themselves into engaging in such scenarios if they felt it benefited their pilots potential. Malfunctioning AIs were requested to reformat themselves and reboot in order to purge themselves from any errors.
Unauthorised individuals that attempted to enter the open cockpit could suffer from the machine inducing an electric shock to remove them.
Despite this being the case, it was possible for operator control to be transferred to another allowing them to command the caliber. Combat policy formation lay entirely in the hands of the pilot. However, in some cases, the artificial intelligence was able to continue operations even if the pilot was deceased. In such cases, the AI was able to masquerade as the the pilot in order to secure objectives.
