| DESCRIPTION & DETAILS |
| The Type 17 Fuchikoma was
developed during the 2020s to satisfy a military need for
a combat unit capable of bridging the gap between
Exo-suits and full-sized Striders, marrying the
maneuverability and small signature of the former with
the firepower of the latter. The Type 17 was also one of
the first combat units to be fitted with a
Pseudo-Intelligence -- not only an improved autopilot,
but also a "virtual" copilot, as well. The PsI
has been a welcome addition, especially as the PsI is
capable of limited independent operation. This
independence however also seems to have produced a more
widespread effect, as many of the Fuchikomas assigned to
S9 have appeared to have even developed a
"personality." The Type 17 has also been lightly distributed to certain units within Poseidon's security and law enforcement divisions, with Public Security Section 9 receiving the lion's share (nearly every ranking operative has access to one, if not one assigned to them). Additionally, given the sensitive nature of much of S9's assignments, their variants are heavily modified with both active and passive stealth systems. The standard armament on the Type 17 is fairly simple -- a single 6-barreled 15mm Type 21 autocannon in a forward limited-traverse mount, and dual 6mm machineguns mounted in each forearm for anti-personnel work. The Type 17 Fuchikoma also has one hardpoint on either side of the "abdomen" that may mount any of a number of modular weapon systems, ranging from the Type 56 30mm autocannon, two-shot antitank missile pods, to 70mm rocket pods and more. The Heavy Assault version used by the Poseidon Defense Force is armed with a Type 56 30mm cannon with a millimeter-wave radar targeting system and an 8-shot 70mm rocket pod. Other variants commonly mount anti-infantry machineguns or grenade launchers to the hardpoints. The Type 17 is also equipped with specialized climbing equipment -- a pair of rear-facing launchable grapnels that may have "disintegrating" style cables, as well as specially designed pads at the end of the Fuchi's feet, allowing the Type-17 to climb walls (and buildings) with relative ease. The Special Operations variants typically add either a Passive Stealth System (R4 Stealth, +480MTV), or Thermoptic Camouflage (R4 Holofield, +290MTV). The typical variant used by Poseidon's Public Security Section 9 utilizes both systems, but downgrades the autocannon to the Type 21 single-barrelled version (ROF+2). A few of S9's Fuchikoma's (notably Batou's) retain the original Type-21 gatling autocannon (...Need...Bigger...Guns!). |
