Torbernite's Insurgency - Ruby Battle Mech Pilots

Description

Overview:
Insurgent Rubies serve primarily as the bulk of the infantry. Training is focused on ensuring that even one Insurgent Ruby can fight a larger Quartz-Type gem on equal grounds. Insurgent Rubies are trained in a specialized martial art reminiscent of human boxing as well as proper firearm usage. Training is also focused in boosting their intelligence. Unlike Rubies from Homeworld who rely primarily on brute force to solve their problems, Insurgent Ruby teams are excellent problem solvers and are intelligent enough to perform complex small unit tactics to subvert seemingly insurmountable obstacles. However, when overwhelming force is necessary, specialized Insurgent Ruby fireteams have a designated battle mech pilot for dealing with large enemy forces, massive quartz fusions, or heavy demolition operations.

Pilot Equipment:
Ruby mech pilots are equipped with a pair of multi-caliber hard light pistols that also double as a pair of hardened knuckles. They fire a plasma-jacketed hard light destabilizing projectile that are lethal from close to mid range. Ruby mech pilots are also equipped with a small combat knife in addition to several incendiary grenades stored in their gems.

Goblin-Class Battle Mech:
The Goblin-Class Battle mech is a wellrounded armor defence system giving an individual Ruby the strength of five. Its primary weapons are a pair high impact hard light cannons that double as manipulator arms allowing the pilot to fight effectively in mid range and extreme close quarters. While the 20mm hard light rounds can destabilize an enemy gem at mid range, the impact will actually cause the gem to shatter at extremely close ranges. The Goblin's default weapon systems are very similar to the Ruby pilot's primary weapons making them the preferred choice because it compliments their natural fighting ability. Like all other Insurgent mech classes, the Goblin is also outfitted with an on-board A.I. allowing the platform to operate autonomously lending support to the pilot and her team during combat situations. Aside from devastating power, Goblins are also highly customizable with interchangeable armaments and decals. Though not the largest class of Insurgent battle mechs, the Goblin has proven its reliabilty time and again boasting a higher mission success rate than Gremlin-Class Combat Support Mechs favored by Insurgent Peridots and the Rampage-Class Heavy Combat Mechs favored by Insurgent Quartz soldiers. This puts the Goblin just beneath the Strider-Class Light Combat mech favored by Insurgent Pearls and Selenites for the most reliable armor defense system in the Insurgency's arsenal.
