Description:
This is one of Anduran Armalite's various mechanized combat walkers. Essentially, it was developed with one thing in mind; shock and awe. Sending in dozens of these walkers on the battlefield usually makes most hostiles think twice about their involvement and will to fight. There was some discussion about giving the walker minimal jumpjet capability, but it was ultimately pulled from the project. The walker is capable of withstanding most projectiles and consists of durasteel plating plus light shields for protection. Battle tanks and any manner of heavy ordnance will take down the Direcat APU, but infantry have been known to shoot out the legs with concentrated laser fire and destroy the servo-motors, immobilizing or toppling the walker, before proceeding to rip open the chest cockpit and kill the pilot inside... that is, of course, if they can get close enough.
