I.S.T. DROP POD
Entry ID: SF-XP-0718
Subject: Valkyrie-Class Drop Pod
Type: Tactical Orbital Deployment Capsule (TODC)
Affiliation: Solar Federation – Interstellar Strike Team Division
(more…)
Description: The Valkyrie-Class Drop Pod is a self-contained reentry capsule engineered to insert small, autonomous Strike Teams from orbit directly into hostile or uncertain planetary environments. Designed for compatibility with all Solar Federation tactical ships, it supports independent deployment operations without the need for fleet support.
Specifications:
- Capacity: Configurable for 4–8 operators with modular seating,
- Hull: Ablative ceramite-titanium alloy, resistant to high-velocity atmospheric entry and kinetic impacts,
- Descent System: Multi-stage retro thrusters, gravitic stabilizers, and inertial dampeners for pinpoint landings,
- Environment Support: Fully sealed cabin with adaptive life support, radiation shielding, and multi-atmosphere filtration,
- Navigation & Comms: Encrypted subspace relay, terrain-mapping LIDAR, autonomous landing AI,
Operational Use: Designed for stealth or rapid-response insertions, the Valkyrie allows Strike Teams to land undetected or under fire, complete mission objectives independently, and exfil via rendezvous or recovery beacon. Durable, versatile, and built for any planetary condition, it’s the spearpoint of the Federation’s planetary operations.

Mechanoids – Ground Units
Scout Type A
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0001
Subject: Scout Type A
Type: Infantry
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: Lightly armored but exceptionally fast, this scout unit features a narrow profile that makes it harder to hit. Its speed and agility make it a preferred choice for frontline reconnaissance and assault missions—often deployed deep into enemy territory to gather intel or strike swiftly.
Scout Type B
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0002
Subject: Scout Type B
Type: Infantry
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: Lightly armored but exceptionally fast, this scout unit features a narrow profile that makes it harder to hit. Its speed and agility make it a preferred choice for frontline reconnaissance and assault missions—often deployed deep into enemy territory to gather intel or strike swiftly. This variant has a lower fire rate, but higher damage.
Trooper Type A
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0003
Subject: Trooper Type A
Type: Infantry
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: Outfitted with reinforced armor plating, this autonomous frontline unit is built for durability rather than speed. Designed for direct engagements and prolonged operations, it serves as the primary combat force in the robotic arsenal—efficient, persistent, and optimized for high-intensity battlefields.
Trooper Type B
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0004
Subject: Trooper Type B
Type: Infantry
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: Outfitted with reinforced armor plating, this autonomous frontline unit is built for durability rather than speed. Designed for direct engagements and prolonged operations, it serves as the primary combat force in the robotic arsenal—efficient, persistent, and optimized for high-intensity battlefields. This variant has a lower fire rate, but higher damage.
Mech Type A
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0005
Subject: Mech Type A
Type: Mechs
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: This towering combat mech is equipped with dual high-caliber machine cannons, capable of unleashing devastating firepower across wide areas. Heavily armored and engineered for frontline dominance, the unit advances steadily through enemy lines, suppressing resistance with relentless, sustained barrages. A rear-mounted energy cell powers its systems, but also exposes a critical vulnerability—precise strikes to this weak point can disable the unit entirely.
Mech Type B
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0006
Subject: Mech Type B
Type: Mechs
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: An upgraded variant of the standard assault walker, this mech is outfitted with twin high-impact siege cannons designed to penetrate fortified structures and heavy armor. Its overwhelming firepower makes it a key asset in large-scale assaults, though its mobility is limited. A rear-mounted energy core fuels its advanced weapon systems, but also represents a critical weak point—exploiting it can neutralize the unit despite its formidable defenses.
Tank Drone
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0007
Subject: Tank Drone
Type: Tanks
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: Built for sustained ground operations, this autonomous combat unit combines heavy plating with tracked mobility, allowing it to advance across rough terrain under fire. Equipped with a turret-mounted weapon system, it delivers mobile fire support and serves as a frontline enforcer in coordinated assaults. A rear-mounted energy cell located behind the turret powers its core systems—an exposed vulnerability that, if targeted, can disable the drone despite its otherwise formidable armor.
Mechanoids – Air Units
Scanner Drone
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0008
Subject: Scanner Drone
Type: Aerial Drones
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: This mid-altitude surveillance unit patrols above the battlefield, scanning the terrain below with a precision search beam to detect hidden or approaching threats. Upon locating enemy targets, it immediately transmits coordinates and calls in nearby allied units for rapid response. While moderately armored to resist small-arms fire, it remains vulnerable to concentrated anti-air attacks and can be neutralized before completing its scan cycle.
Assault Aerial Drone
Entry ID: SF-MGU-0009
Subject: Assault Aerial Drone
Type: Aerial Drones
Affiliation: Mechanoids
(more…)
Description: This heavily armored combat drone is equipped with a single, belly-mounted high-explosive cannon of medium caliber, capable of delivering powerful blasts against ground targets. Designed for direct strike missions, it hovers above the battlefield to rain down explosive fire, targeting both infantry and light fortifications with precision. Its reinforced chassis offers strong protection against small-arms fire, though its size and moderate speed make it vulnerable to concentrated anti-aircraft weaponry.
