Development: The final, and very probably most effective and finest
Zentraedi mecha was the Queadlunn-Rau, literally the "Heavy Power
Armor". Used almost exclusively by the female Zentraedi air corps,
this battle suit was one of the last of the Zentraedi mecha to be
developed, created after initial combat experience with the Disciples
of Zor showed that the Nousjadeul-Ger was less suited for commando
raids. This mecha was used in that role because it was the most suited
at the time, but as it was originally intended as an ground cavalry
mecha, it performed badly against -air or spaceborne opponents. The
requirements called for a mecha with the highest possible
acceleration, a very heavy armament, excellent capability as a
dogfighter and performance identical to the Nousjadeul-Ger on the
ground.
Fulfilling these demanding requirements did not prove simple. The
large speed required large engines, which required a large frame,
which in return required more engine power, and so forth. The
Queadluun-Rau battle armor design eventually grow larger than the
Regult battlepod, although advanced materials kept the overall weight
down. However, the power demands from the engine's fusion piles made
an exclusive energy weapon fit impossible, and the designers switched
to a mix of cannons, missiles and energy weaponry. To improve
maneuverability, the Queadluun-Rau had the most extensive attitude
thruster installation ever installed. This system, known as the
Inertia Vector Control System, made it possible to not only control
the attitude of the mecha and engines, but also positioned the limbs.
The advantage over other systems, which generally use servo mechanisms
to move limbs about, is enhanced maneuverability. However, the system
was relatively fragile and required a large amount of maintenance
The Queadluun-Rau was probably the most feared of all Zentraedi mecha,
Given its assault and commando mission profiles however, losses tended
to be high. The mecha was expensive to construct, and though plans
existed to re-equip many units (including close air support and
cavalry units) with this mecha, only the more elite commando forces
received shipments of these machines before the Zentraedi military
machine was destroyed.
