- The ASW-021 "Strafer" is a light combat mech designed for high-speed operations like flanking and hit-and-run tactics.
- SIZE: (base variant, unarmed, normal config)
- L: 6.23 m
- W: 5.23 m
- H: 9.20 m
- WEIGHT: ~80 tonnes
- Crew: 1-2
- #####DESIGN
- The ASW-021 has a long head-structure with a two-man cockpit in the front, and a nuclear powerplant behind this. A key feature of the unit is the wing-like hardpoint design. On the front, a structural bar with a protected autocannon can be found.
- All of this is mounted on a torso and legs with an electric engine.
- The large vents hold a space for a Multiple Vector System. This is only used in the Special variant and allows the unit to jump, hover, and even fly in certain planetary conditions.
- #####ARMAMENT
- The ASW-021 has two side hardpoints in the Normal configuration, and an additional top hardpoint in the Heavy configuration. Side hardpoints can elevate and depress by 60 degrees.
- The weapon used in this loadout is a Variable-Output Laser. At Normal Combat settings, the laser beams for six seconds before cooling for one second.
- An unconventional practice of the ASW-021 is the installation of a 30mm autocannon under the cockpit. This gun, nicknamed "Cigar" due to its placement, is used for light, close-range ground targets and enemy personnel.
- The unit includes 10 smoke grenades which are specialised for machines as large as this one. Containing over 4 times as much explosive mass and smoke chemical as a standard 40mm smoke grenade, it is able to conceal a much larger area, with smoke reportedly reaching 30m high.
- #####PRODUCTION
- There are an estimated 400 ASW-021 units built, across all variants. The base unit costs about $50 million.
- The chassis exceeds the legal maximum size for privately-owned walking systems and thus can only be purchased by militaries.
