Development: As a supplemental mecha to the Battlepods, the Zentraedi
fielded the Nousjadeul-Ger power armors. These mecha had air mobility,
which the Regult and Glaug battlepods lacked. However, the price paid
for this capability was steep; the mecha was over twice as difficult
to manufacture compared to the Regult. It also had less battlefield
persistence due to its larger reliance on projectile weaponry. Because
of this weapon fit, the mecha was also less suited for aerospace
operations. Finally, it had about the same level of protection as the
Regult, although the sloping shapes of several locations increased the
chances of a glancing hit.
The Nousjadeul-Ger was designed as the mecha for the cavalry arm of
the Zentraedi ground forces. The suit could fly under Earth-like
conditions, and its weapons were well suited to its mission of deep
penetration, reconnaissance and flank protection. The main plasma beam
cannon was longer ranged and more powerful than the design mounted on
the Regult pods, and this enabled the Nousjadeul-Ger to operate as an
effective sniper. The chest cannon however was, though powerful and
accurate, short ranged. The triple barreled 79.2mm grenade throwers
could put an impressive amount of ordnance or target, but the fixed
cannon had insufficient ammunition to sustain more than 30 seconds of
firing. The hand held laser was an accurate weapon, but lacked the
sheer weight of fire of the Regult's particle beam cannons or the
primary plasma cannon.
