One of the shittiest things about having an outdoor job in Appalachia is leaning how just about every square inch of the gorgeous landscape is privately owned by spoiled misanthropes who guard it jealously from public enjoyment.
One of the greatest crimes in American history was when the Feds stole the West.
This is (almost) all federal land.

During the final war, the combination of early neural-interfaces with abundant power sources would often leave pilots feeling overly-energetic while awaiting the order to deploy.
Their frequent attempts to burn this energy would come to be known as 'dancing' by the infantry.

Even civilian grade comm implants can allow for analog control over an operator's mech.
Loss of input fidelity, and prevalence of jamming means this is never a first resort, but pilots are encouraged to practice with it anyway, as it can still prove useful on the battlefield.

Models in 100, 110, 115, and 120 diameters are especially popular as highly versatile weapon systems capable of effectively applying a wide variety of munitions.
While the Navy's high energy weapon systems are its primary damage dealers, they still maintain an arsenal of electric gas cannons in a variety of sizes.
The low-cost and rugged nature of EG weapons also make them popular among civilian, independent, and criminal elements.

Class 1 AA denotes any powered suit that stands roughly 9.18ft / 279.8cm tall once fully assembled, regardless of the operator's size.
For this reason, external formations often regard a Sovereign Marine as closer to a light vehicle than anything so mundane as infantry.

Despite its role as a recon vehicle, the Nomad Star is one of the most feared machines in known space.
It's not heavily armed, it cant take a hit, but few other machines can turn up anywhere, at any time, without warning, murder your friends, and vanish just as suddenly.

Arkgneese naval doctrine considers the concept of 'cruiser' as a list of features, rather than a range of tonnages.
Some of which include:
- Turreted Primary and Secondary batteries
- A Transit Coil long enough to launch PCK Slugs at >=0.1c

Since people liked that fleet sheet so much I think I'll touch these things up, here's the cruiser rework.
The front pusher plate was obtrusive and of dubious usefulness, so It's been replaced by extra RCS blocks.

In the Big Frontier, your average trader or settler fears what they hear about, large pirate fleets led by infamous warlords, extorting honest folk for goods and coin at gunpoint.

There's likely not going to be much of a market for this even in the hellworld we live in since it doesn't benefit the prison slave labor pipeline if inmates get released after only a few days.

Sending warning only an hour before touchdown, two weeks after nuclear hostilities began, Arkgneisis ended 63 years of self-imposed political isolation by mobilizing 168,098 personnel, and 3x as many tons of equipment in Sordalan's defense, halfway across K'uern, in under a day.

Most modern Arkaran surface vessels were capable of submerging. This was primarily a solution to the apocalyptic storms that regularly plagued its open oceans, and the use of submersion as a tactical advantage was the key delineation between submarines and ships for the military.
