"Because we're just BETTER, dammit!"
-----------------------------------------

Come one, come all, to the first emporium of GR&M's finest mechanized monstrosities concocted by mortal minds! All of the latest in robotics technology has been brought to you today with respect to both military and civilian applications. Throw away those old protocol droids! Turn those battlemechs into scrap metal because that's all they're good for! We can turn your industry into a veritable modern marvel! We can turn your army into a scourge of the universe! And if you're an ally, it can be done with a nominal discount!

Now we know what you're thinking: how can we be so annoying as to say that we're just better? Well son, we will simply say that we have seen the best, we learned from the best, and we've only been expanding on it ever since. Thus far, we have yet to run into anything that matches the sheer complexity and capabilities of our warbots.

Without further ado, we shall present the full compendium!
------------------------------------------------------------

GR&M builds each unit according to a general model and refines each unit with respect to buyer specifications. GR&M is capable of duplicating any necessary weapons systems as requested by buyer. Each robot description, instead of a standard armament, will list what type of mounts it can sustain, with the following six categories.

Light Weapon Mount: Equivalent to a blaster cannon or heavy machine gun.

Medium Weapon Mount: Equivalent to a Medium Turbolaser or Naval Battery.

Heavy Weapon Mount: Equivalent to a Heavy Turbolaser or Capital Class Weapon Battery, as well as Siege level Flux Cannons (Godulan only)

Siege/Planetary Weapon Mount: Equivalent to Planetary Grade Turbolasers and Ion Cannons, as well as Protium Arc Disintegrators (Godulan only)

Custom Weapon Mount (Grade 1 - 3): For when ya wanna go even BIGGER Grade 1 is equivalent to a cannon with a yield matching 1 MT in explosive power. Grade 3 is a standard Eclipse-Class Superlaser or equivalent. Only Grade 1 is available for merchant sale.

WARBOTS

Manned and Unmanned

>> COUGAR Multi-Role Shock Warbot <<

Height: 3m at shoulder, 12m long at full extention

Maximum Speed: 130mph, 175mph max jump

Armor: Cerametal Composite hull with Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Chassis, Light Grade Ablative Shielding

Armament: 2 Light Weapon Mounts
1 missile mount grade 1
Monofilament Claws
ChainRazor Fangs
Tail Blades

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, Acoustic Sensors, Thermal, Chemo Sensors, CE Passive Array

Power Core: Quantum Flux Cell


Description: The Cougar is the workhorse of the Godulan Mechanized Infantry, fulfilling both Anti-Vehicular and Anti-Personnel roles with equal efficiency, although it is noted to be somewhat more enthusiastic with its anti-personnel role.

Appearing as a heavily armored catlike robot of obsidian hue and luster, with glowing red eyes and gleaming fangs, it is easily capable of adapting to any combat theatre put before it, be it urban or not. It is tremendously swift for its size, and with the feed protocol enabled, is very much capable of tearing through even the most well-prepared enemy forces.

GR&M Suggests using this model in groups of three ('Wolfpacks') and squadrons of one hundred, although En Masse organizations will do nicely, but are less useful in urban combat conditions.

Price Tag: $75 Million Per Unit, $200 Million Per Wolfpack


>> SABRECAT Multi-Role Shock BattleMech <<

Height: 12m shoulder, 30m full extension

Maximum Speed: 220mph, 250mph Max Jump

Armor: Cerametal Composite Alloy with Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Chassis, Medium Grade Ablative Shielding

Armament: 2 Heavy Weapon Mounts
4 Light Weapon Mounts
Monofilament Claws
Advanced ChainRazor Fangs

Control Suite: 1 Pilot in Neurosynaptic Interface Capsule
Sensors:

Power Core: Medium Distortion Core

Description: The Sabrecat is the manned version of the Cougar, with respect to merchant offerings. It is bulkier and better armed at a token expense of overall speed and agility. It is also tailless, enabling swifter adaptation to the controls to better relieve the pilot(s) of the stress of having to many points to keep track of.

Despite the slight expense of relative speed, the Sabrecat is still much faster than its smaller counterpart, the Cougar (OOC: Although the Godulans also have a manned version of the Cougar that closes in on 275mph top speed).

Price Tag: $250 million per unit, $700 million per wolfpack


>> TIMBERWOLF Scout/Sensor Warbot <<

Height: 1m tall at shoulder

Maximum Speed: 70mph

Armor: Cerametal Composite Alloy Hull and Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Reinforced Chassis, Minor Stealth Module

Armament: 1 light weapon mount
ChainRazor Fangs

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, Chemosensor, Spectroanalyzer, Acoustic Sensor, CE Passive Array, Thermal Sensor

Power Core: Quantum Flux Cell


Description: The smallest of the GR&M WarBots, the Timberwolf is geared towards seeking out enemy concentrations and hidden fortifications. It roves the countryside, rooting out any and all enemy personnel and automatically sending word to reinforcements. If it is sent out in 'pack' formation, the Timberwolf will initiate cooperative combat operations, using its numbers to inflict as much damage as possible before the big guns, usually the Cougars, arrive.

Timberwolves are also exceedingly proficient at tracking and running down escaped prisoners, whenever necessary, although they will not seek to kill their target unless otherwise ordered.

Price Tag: $30 million per unit, $225 million per pack (8 units)


>> URSON Heavy APC/Artillery BattleMech <<

Height: 18m at shoulder, 40m full extension

Maximum Speed: 75mph

Armor: Heavy Cerametal Composite Hull, Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Chassis, Heavy Ablative Shielding, Regenerative Matrix

Armament: 2 Heavy Weapon Mounts
4 Medium Weapon Mounts
Monofilament Claws
ChainRazor Fangs
Reinforced Forepaws (for bludgeoning purposes)

Control Suite: 2 Pilot Crew in Neurosynaptic Interface Capsule

Carrying Capacity: 100 Troopers

Sensors: AudioVisual, CE Passive Array, Thermal

Power Core: Capital Class Distortion Core


Description: The Urson puts the Armor into Armored Personnel Carrier. Its big, its plated, and it can club enemy armored units flat with a single swipe of its massive forepaws.

As the name might suggest, the Urson appears as a very very very very very large robotic bear. Its shoulders are surprisingly wide for its size, in order to make room for a couple of Heavy Cannons, and the main body in general incorporates a decent number of cover-fire emplacements.

The personnel compartment is located in its belly, in order to facilitate rapid dispersal of its troop complement. The unloading method of the Urson is geared towards protecting the landing troops until they are ready to commence operations. No shooting the marines in the head as they get off the assault ship here, no sir, the Urson will be able to detect all but the most intricately disguised emplacements, ambushes, etc, and will inform the troops of exactly where such fortifications are.

Price Tag: $425 Million per Unit
(NOTE: Bulk Discount of 5% on any purchase order of more than 5 units)


>> DESPAIR SQUID Amphibious Torpedo Warbot <<

Height: 20m full extension, 7.5m to tip onland

Maximum Speed: 45 Knots at sea, 15mph onland

Armor: Cerametal Composite Alloy with Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Chassis

Armament: 4 Missile/Torpedo Mounts Grade 1
1 Light weapon mount
Tentacles

Sensors: Mass Detector, CE Passive Array, AudioVisual Feed

Power Core: Quantum Flux Cell


Description: The Despair Squid is one of the Godulans original designs, and has remained effectively unchanged over the centuries. It appears much like its name would attest, a robotic analog of a squid.

It is silent and it is deadly, making it one of the more dangerous submersible 'things' around, and its prodigious aquatic agility make it a tough target to hit as well. Its four missile/torpedo emplacements can handle one Fusion torpedo each, or a battery of smaller multi-purpose missiles.

Unlike its namesake, the Squid can also travel onland, using its eight navigation tentacles for support and motility, while its two primary tentacles can be utilized as melee weapons for purposes of breaking down enemy fortifications or just flinging enemy troops a few hundred feet in any direction.

Price Tag: $40 Million per unit
(NOTE: Bulk discount of 5% on any purchase of more than ten units)

>> SEA STALKER Amphibious Torpedo Warmech <<

Height: 40m full extension, 15m to tip onland

Maximum Speed: 40 Knots at sea, 35mph onland

Armor: Cerametal Composite Alloy with Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Chassis, Medium Ablative Shielding

Armament: 4 Missile/Torpedo Mounts grade 3
4 Medium Weapon Mounts

Control Suite: 1 Pilot in Neurosynaptic Interface Capsule

Sensors: Mass Detector, CE Passive Array, AudioVisual Feed

Power Core: Medium Distortion Core


Description: The SeaStalker is the manned version of the Despair Squid, twice the size and better armed and armored by far. Each missile/torpedo emplacement can hold two Fusion Torpedos each, or a battery of Heavy Multi-Purpose missiles.

It is geared somewhat more towards the amphibious aspect of its construction, and is capable of moving onland almost as quickly as it can move in the sea. It is also somewhat better armed against more mobile targets.

Price Tag: $175 million per unit
(NOTE: Bulk discount of 5% on any purchase of more than 5 units)

SWARMS

>> SPYFLY Multi-Theatre Surveillance Swarm <<

Swarm Size: 10,000 Drones per Swarm

Dispersion Time: 2.5 Hours

Dispersion Area: 25 sq mi (Optimal Coverage)

Vector Speed: Stationary, individual speed 10mph

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, Acoustic Sensors, CE Passive Array

Cohesion Mechanism: Central Mainframe Coordination/Prioritization Unit

Objective/Means: Continuous surveillance of a specific area for anti-criminal or urban combat purposes, Weed-eating


Description: Who pays attention to a fly? Who would notice the attention of a roach under the couch? The aphids are WATCHING you, man!

Putting up surveillance networks take time. Putting up surveillance networks in combat zones is damn near impossible. Well, the Spyfly swarm not only allows you to accomplish it, it allows you to do it from a whole new perspective. A fly on the wall.

The Spyfly swarm can be custom designed to either appear as flies or small cockroaches or even ladybugs, or any mixture of the three. For all intents and purposes they are every bit alike to their organic analogs, except for the fact that they're made of metal and have a constant uplink to a central mainframe through which everything they percieve is catalogued, filtered, and prioritized based on pre-programmed key content. Spyflies can be programmed to seek out enemy fortifications, listen in on comm chatter, or even take snapshots of enemy battle plans if the situation should present itself.

They are also quite efficient in the role of crime prevention, as nobody will get away with anything while the Spyfly swarm is mucking about throughout one's cities. The swarm can, in this case, be programmed to detect any evidence of wrongdoing, and track the perpetrator of such until authorities arrive to take custody of the ne'er-do-well by using the Spyfly's position tracking systems.

Also, Spyflies are constructed such that they derive sustenance from prevailing vegetation, and as such can be programmed to act as weedeaters while in standby mode. Often times, the nation purchasing this Swarm model is quick to cite this purpose, without mentioning the more useful objective, when deploying the swarm on their own soil.

Price Tag: $50 Million Per Swarm
(NOTE: 5% bulk discount on any purchase of more than 10 swarms)


>> STORM HORNET Anti-Personnel Swarm <<

Swarm Size: 2,500 Drones per Swarm

Dispersion Time: 30 minutes

Dispersion Area: .5 sq mi (Combat Usage)

Vector Speed: 10 mph

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, ChemoSensors

Cohesion Mechanism: Command Mainframe Uplink

Objective/Means: Personnel disruption via liberal application of selected venom to exposed enemy fleshy bits. Sting. Buzz. Bite. Annoy.


Description: For all intents and purposes, it is an artificially constructed swarm of killer bees. They are programmed to travel across the battlefield upon dispersion, getting under armor and into heavy fortifications, and sting the crap out of anything that doesn't register as friendly.

The venom used in standard swarms is a moderate irritant, causing a hefty amount of itching and discomfort. However, for an additional fee the swarm can be 'reset' with a Paralytic, Necrotic, or Neurotoxin. Each swarm comes with a small venom manufacturing plant which provides the swarm with its supply of toxin indefinitely. Just add water and chlorine or whatever other chemicals are necessary (in the event of non-standard venom usage)

Price Tag: $75 million per swarm, $100 million custom configuration, $110 million neurotoxin custom configuration
(NOTE: 5% Bulk discount for any purchase of more than five units)


>> WORKER ANT Large-Scale Construction Swarm <<

Swarm Size: 200 Drones Per Swarm

Dispersion Time: Immediate

Dispersion Area: As per site / specifications

Vector Speed: As per site / specifications

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, Chemosensor, Spectroanalyzer, CE Passive Array

Cohesion Mechanism: Mainframe-guided Overmind Control Mechanism

Objective/Means: Build things as quickly and as efficiently as possible, in any environment whatsoever, up to and including deep-space and zero-g.


Description: Open the capsule, program the blueprints, dump the raw materials, and just watch the suckers go!

Worker ants are the perennial Get-Things-Built-Quick swarm. The owner merely needs provide the blueprints of whatever needs building, the raw materials to build it, and then wait. A single swarm can erect a fully active skyscraper within a month, and multiple swarms can shorten the time even more. The ants are capable of adapting to whatever construction projects they are presented with, often times outfitting themselves with specialized and custom-designed tools to complete whatever task is put before them.

Ants work hard, work consistently, never complain, and can also work in Zero-G and non-atmospheric environments, as they do not require air and incorporate a small gravitic propulsion unit to move around without the support of any nearby surfaces.

It doesn't take an accountant to note that this would considerably drive down costs of major projects, such as Starship Construction, meaning that despite the high price tag, these things MORE than pay for themselves.

Price Tag: $300 million per swarm
(NOTE: 5% bulk discount on any purchase of more than 10 swarms)


>> FIRE ANT Repair/Defensive Swarm <<

Swarm Size: 100 Drones per Swarm

Dispersion Time: Immediate (set to patrol)

Dispersion Area: Preprogrammed

Vector Speed: Preprogrammed, Drone speed 20mph

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, Chemosensor, CE Passive Array, Acoustic Sensor

Cohesion Mechanism: Mainframe-Guided Overmind Control Mechanism

Objective/Means: Repair damaged infrastructural apparatus, defend infrastructure against sabotage and subterfuge, flush out stealth incursions, work in tandem with organic units.

Description: Somewhat larger than their Construction ant counterparts, the Fire Ant swarm is geared more towards the defense and maintenance of a particular locale, rather than the construction of new ones.

Fire Ants are equipped with an internal armament roughly equivalent to a standard blaster rifle, and are quick to coordinate defensive efforts against any who would seek to violate their domain. Should the enemy incursion prove too much for them, they always alert other installations of the incursion and call for reinforcements before engaging.

The Fire Ants are capable of repairing any major or minor electronic or structural damage without much necessity for secondary resources, although it would be wise to provide them access to a ready supply in the event such materials are needed. As combat-engineers on the fly, once again, the high price tag is more than repaid over time.

Price Tag: $425 million per swarm
(NOTE: 5% discount on any purchase of more than 5 swarms)


>> SAPPERBUG Anti-Infrastructure Suicide Swarm <<

Swarm Size: 500 Drones Per Swarm

Dispersion Time: 10 hours (stealth mode active)

Dispersion Area: 100 sq.mi

Vector Speed: N/A, Drone Speed 40mph

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, CE Passive Array, Mass Detector, Chemosensor, Acoustic Sensor

Cohesion Mechanism: Central Mainframe

Objective/Means: Blow things up behind enemy lines utilizing Suicide Protocol


Description: They're little beetle-shaped suicide bombers. Equipped with a minor stealth module that enables them to pass largely undetected through enemy lines (although if somebody is within 100 ft of one, they'll spot the thing easy). They are programmed to seek out large E-M concentrations indicative of power stations and command hubs, and blow them to hell with the strength of a hefty satchel charge of your explosive of choice.

We prefer a minor Thermonuclear device. Its small enough to blow up a house or so, and plus it leaves that pesky radiation.

As these drones are not reusable, they are rather cheaply constructed and as their price tag reflects this.

Price Tag: $10 million per swarm, $35 million per swarm with explosives
(NOTE: 5% bulk discount on purchases of more than 10 swarms)


>> LOCUST Logistical Disruption Swarm <<

Swarm Size: 35,000 Drones per Swarm

Dispersion Time: 1.5 hours

Dispersion Area: 6 sq.mi.

Vector Speed: Swarm speed 4 mph, Drone speed 40mph

Sensors: AudioVisual Feed, Chemosensor, CE Passive Array

Cohesion Mechanism: Minor Overmind Control Mechanism

Objective/Means: Destroy Crops, Destroy Communications Lines, Disrupt traffic, buzz, sting, bite, annoy.


Description: They look like bronze grasshoppers. They eat crops. They eat power lines. They scramble communications. They eat circuitry. They eat vehicular fuel lines. They plug toilets. They vandalize magazines. They steal socks. If they weren't doing it to the enemy, you'd kill 'em!

But they're MADE to do it to the enemy. And they do it well. The Locust swarm is programmed to travel behind enemy lines and then proceed to ruin crops, disrupt power lines and communication, stymie supply routes, and otherwise turn the enemy war machine into one big chaotic and confused f***-up, ripe for utter annihilation by those who sent the Locusts in.

GR&M suggests deploying multiple swarms at a time, in order to achieve maximum effect. As the locusts are essentially a weapon designed to shatter the enemy war effort with little to no loss of actual human life, and essentially end the war before it can even begin. As a result of this objective, the Locusts have a high price tag, but this loss is more than repaid in the survival of your less expendable weapons and manpower.

Price Tag: $500 million per swarm
(NOTE: 5% bulk discount on any purchase of more than 10 swarms)

Non-Military/Civilian/Misc

>> PETS <<

As the Godulans developed and advanced their robotics technology by essentially following the evolutionary process, GR&M can say with pride that it has a mechanized analog of every single animal from old Terra, as well as some of the more exotic ones from other regions of the universe.

Of course, more modernized versions of these synthetic critters incorporate secondary uses that make them preferable at home and in general.

A pet-class robot can emulate any animal known to man and then some, from hamsters, to canaries, to pot-bellied pigs, to sheepdogs. In addition to matching their organic forebears in both general appearance and exact personality template, any pet can incorporate one of the following secondary features:

- Metal Detector
- Dehumidifier
- Anti-Burglary (Makes a massive ruckus, sends distress signal to local authorities)
- Pest Control
- Temporary Care Provider for Special Needs Children
- Gardener's Helper

Price Tag: $2000 - $5000 depending on 'pet' size


>> PUBLIC SERVICES <<

In keeping with the above mentioned focus on creating minor robots with secondary capabilities, GR&M has crafted a number of service robots that fulfill a number of civic duties. The more prominent versions are listed here with short definitions.

- Plumber's Helper Centipede

This foot long insectoid is particularly useful for clearing drainage clogs and helping 'reduce' sewer rat populations. Also keeps track of anybody attempting to travel the sewers without proper permission. Its dangerous down there!

- Litter Tracker 5000 Terrier

This small dog is programmed to seek out litter and deposit it in proper receptacles, and whenever applicable, take a snapshot of whoever dropped the offending piece of litter and send the picture to authorities to issue necessary citations.

- Graffiti Scrubber Gecko

Little bastards spraying tags on public property... this little lizard scrubs such blights clean using ink disintegration technology, and when applicable, takes a snapshot of the offender and sends to authorities to take proper action.

- Catastrophe Caterwauler TomCat

Sometimes, nature calls with a shovel to the face. In the event of pesky volcanic eruptions or tropical storms, these mechanized cats can be deployed into a disaster area to seek out trapped or stranded citizens, whereupon it relays its position to a central mainframe, and if the trapped individual is particularly in need of medical attention, will begin yowling quite loudly, registering as "High Priority" on the mainframe so that authorities can react effectively.

In the event of psychological trauma, the cat can also curl up and purr, emitting very specialized E-M field designed to induce a minor sense of euphoria.

Price Tag (all units): $2500 per unit
(NOTE: 10% bulk discount on purchases of more than 100 total units)


>> TERRAFORMING <<

There is only one entry to this category, and trust us when we say its the only one ya'd need.

- Home-Sweet-Home Nanite Terraforming Swarm

Got a nice planet? Only problem with it that its water is so acidic it burns any exposed flesh off in a matter of seconds? Atmosphere smell like poo? Well we recognize your problem and sympathize with you.

The Nanite Terraforming Swarm is a single massive swarm that is inserted onto a planet that has one or more serious flaws to its general habitability. Within one day it is fully deployed, within a week it has adapted to the prevailing conditions on the planet and initiated terraforming procedures, within a matter of years not exceeding single digits the planet is ready for children to play on saturday afternoons.

The nanite swarm converts hostile chemicals into less dangerous versions and commences manufacture of the necessary materials required to sustain life, purifying water and atmosphere, but being careful to avoid harming any possible indigenous wildlife, or if necessary, relocating such creatures to another world with the assistance of a Godulan Heighliner. GR&M will not cause a mass extinction just so somebody can have a new rock to stand on.

Provision of plant-life and other organic contents after terraforming is complete is the responsibility of the buyer. Price tag is heavy, as it is all the work of one swarm, but hey, you're getting a new planet to call home, its a fair trade. And its reusable, so don't scoff.

Price Tag: $2.5 trillion per swarm


>> MEDICAL <<

Nuthin' beats a good surgeon, but we've developed a couple things to assist in a medical application

- Hemo-Nanites

You take them like a pill, and they enter the bloodstream through the digestive process, from that point on, they derive sustenance from your blood and work to keep things nice and orderly in your cardiovascular system. Got an artery threatening to get clogged up with cholesterol buildup? These things will jump in, dissolve the potential blockage, and muck about with that cholesterol to turn it into an energy boost both for them and the host.

They will spread but only slightly, enough to give the entire body sufficient coverage. They will take any medicines introduced through ingestion and apply them where necessary, assist in preliminary cancer treatment, improve healing speed, prevent cataracts, and even operate as a second liver and/or set of kidneys if necessary.

- Cyberadaptor Nanites

The problem with cybertech is that it takes a while to get used to having a metallic arm or two. There is the occasional chance that a host body will reject the implant and work to destroy it by any means necessary. The nanites in this application are injected into the implant area, and immediately work to ensure that the body's adaptation to the new resident is as smooth as possible, primarily by 'encouraging' cell growth to attach to the implant and treat it as just another organ.

It assists in keeping an otherwise potentially lethal hassle into but a minor concern.

Price Tag: $500 per dose, only one purchase per customer necessary.

Cybernetics/BioMechanicals

>> GENERAL <<

- Endoskeleton

This is a holistic enhancement to the cyberware recipient's entire skeleton. An organic-modified neutronium carbonide skeletal plating, with specially crafted joints and ligaments designed to prevent overall wear and tear, and reinforced vital areas, allows the recipient an added level of durability as his or her skeleton has effectively taken on the characteristics of a subdermal suit of armor. Lightweight and visually undetectable, this will make certain that the aluminum bat on a beeline for your forehead only dents the bat.

Price per unit: $60,000

- Cytronic Interface

Necessary for the more complex cyberware enhancements that require conscious control, this is a simple little neurocomputer that transfers conscious and instinctual control into active control, enabling the cyborg to utilize his or her more complex enhancements without having to press any buttons or speak command words.

Price per unit: $25,000

- Carbonide Fiber Skinweave

A specifically designed material intended for direct incorporation into the recipient's very skin, this is a high tensile material that resists piercing and slashing damage, acting as a form of extra-flexible kevlar. Also indistinguishable from normal human skin with the exception of being particularly rough to the touch. Also undetectable by metal detectors and body scans.

Price per unit: $10,000


>> ARMS & LEGS <<

- Nanofiber Musculature Upgrade

An organic-type upgrade to existing musculature, this enhancement increases overall strength by up to a factor of five. Running speed, jumping distance, combat strength, and general athletics are all improved drastically through this upgrade.

Price per unit: $25,000

- Cyberlimb (Utility)

This metallic cyberlimb is designed to incorporate a large number of tools specialized to the recipient's profession, be it a computer engineer or roboticist. Overall strength is not increased, in favor of the addition of secondary sensors that enable for extra-precise manipulation of the aforementioned tools.

Price per unit: $20,000

- Cyberlimb (Weapons)

This metallic cyberlimb is heavily armored and strength boosted, and provided with a small array of defensive and offensive mechanisms designed to increase the recipient's combat survival rate approximately ten-fold. Typical defensive/offensive enhancements include a deployable neutronium-carbonide blast shield and a deployable lightblade extending either from just above the wrist or from the fingers.

Defensive enhancements
-Riot shield
-Energy shield
-Deflection inducer

Offensive enhancements
-Lightblade (from wrist or from fingers)
-Neutronium Lance (extendable spear from above or below wrist)
-Rivet Gun (Forearm mounted, extra fee to add along with melee enhance)
-Plasma Flamer (Forearm mounted, extra fee to add along with melee enhance)

Price per unit: $50,000

- Cyberlimb (Stealth)

This cyberlimb is specially designed to resemble a human arm matched perfectly to the recipient, even in DNA signature. It is otherwise exactly similar to a musculature and endoskeleton enhancement, save that it also incorporates a small melee weapon of recipient's choice, such as claws or another extendable spear.

Price per unit: $50,000


>> TORSO <<

- Systemic Reinforcement

This enhancement seeds the recipient's body with a number of nanomachines dedicated to preserving the host's life in all respects. They will reinforce immune systems, staunch wounds, and assist in bodily regeneration, enabling quicker recovery from wounds recieved in battle and the ability to shrug off minor wounds, as they heal in a matter of minutes.

Price per unit: $35,000

- Resurrection Module

Somewhat akin to the Systemic Reinforcement, this group of nanomachines is programmed only to activate when lethal wounds have been inflicted upon the host. These nanomachines pool their resources with existing nanomachines to speed up regenerative capacity even further, will initiate secondary oxygenation measures to prevent brain death, and will operate as pacemakers until the heart gets back into the swing of things upon full recovery. In the event of massive damage, the nanomachines will cauterize the wounds and initiate a distress signal so better equipped medical personnel can arrive and commence full body replacement. Military casualty rates should go down significantly with the introduction of this measure of assistance.

Price per unit: $37,500

- Bodyshield

This piece of cyberware is essentially an internal ablative shield generator, adding an even greater measure of protection from projectile and melee attack and causing the host to be very resilient indeed when combined with the carbonide skinweave and the endoskeleton. The shield is strong enough to stop shotgun shells DEAD.

Price per unit: $50,000


>> CRANIAL <<

- Optics Package

Nightvision, Infrared, and X-ray wavelengths can seen by these ocular enhancements. In addition, targeting/magnification systems and ocular tracking enable the recipient to operate with the precision of a sniper, and spot enemy snipers as well. When combined with a special weapon modification, a secondary targeting reticule will register in the host's vision, and when lined up with the existing targeting reticule, will provide a very nearly perfect aim.

Price per unit: $10,000

- Mnemonic Package

A relatively simple system designed to fulfill multiple scouting and recon roles. A direct interface with the host's sensory nodes enables a complete and accurate recording of everything that the host experiences over the course of a selected timeframe. This information can be accessed later at the discretion of the host. And can be utilized to assist in capturing passcodes in the event the host should watch an unwary person input such encryptions.

Price per unit: $7,500

- Perception Package

This enhancement operates as a sensory refinement mechanism that enables the host not only to smell chemicals and hear in extended ranges, among other things, but also provide information on what the chemical makeup is, or suggestions on what caused the noise, respectively. It will also momentarily shutdown the vulnerable senses to prevent getting stunned by loud noises or bright flashes.

Price per unit: $7,500


>> FULL-BODY CYBERMOD <<

- Strong Focus

This full body cybermod is a holistic upgrade to essentially every part of the host's body. Skeleton, Musculature, Autonomic bodily processes, even ocular and cortex aspects are affected by this cybermod.

This model focuses on enhancing the host's strength to epic proportions, enabling heavy lifting and extreme melee combat potential. This model is also built to be exceedingly tough, primarily due to the Neutronium-Carbonide Chassis and body plating. This Cybermod will very easily be capable of walking up to a tank and peeling the armor off piece by piece with no external assistance whatsoever.

Each model is bio-engineered respective to its intended host, in order to prevent any and all rejection of the Cybermod. Indeed the Cybermod itself incorporates the very genetic code of the host into its workings. An added perk of this is that while the host has essentially had every organ in his or her body replaced save the brain, they still retain the capacity to reproduce.

Price per unit: $250,000

- Agile Focus

Much like the Strong Focus Cybermod, however this particular model emphasizes speed and accuracy over brute strength. Holistic enhancements to the body emphasize reflexes and precision, with the assistance of muscular enhancements as well as optical and cortex boosts that enable the occasional perception speed increase.

With this enhancement, the host can run at speeds in excess of 45 miles per hour, climb sheer walls without assistance, kung-fu with the best of 'em, and fire almost any weapon with the precision of a sniper rifle.

Price per unit: $250,000

- Stealth Focus

This model is an effective in-between of the two models above, however it also incorporates multiple stealth-enhancing mechanisms such as reactive camoflage, holoprojectors, and sensor jamming. It also does not register to metal detectors.

>> BODY TANKS <<

(Please note that the Body tanks are cheaper than the Cybermods due to the fact that body tanks are not as inherently complex, and that miniaturization is not really much of an issue.)

- Titan 7 Ballistics Body Tank

Getting intimidated by troops in massive amounts of body armor with horns and spikes and all sorts of things of that nature? Well no more! Inspire fear through deed with this reactive body tank that turns every soldier into a veritable one man assault platoon!

Based in small part on the tremendously powerful Gendarme Body tanks, the Titan 7 is constructed to provide the soldier within with massive amounts of protective layering as well as mobility and strength improvements. A Titan 7 may appear bulky at first, but in movement it is just as quick and agile as a human of proportional size.

This body tank is pressurized for vacuum and undersea environments, equipped with a hard point that can equip any light weapon mount, provides numerous sensor and communication options to the pilot, and an internal supply pack in the event the pilot must abandon the body tank.

For a nominal fee, we can construct the body tank according to motifs provided by the buyer.

>> KRAKEN SuperHeavy Amphibious Siege WarMech <<

Height: 125m at full extention, 75m base to tip onland

Maximum Speed: 25 Knots (Sea), 100mph (Onland), 125mph (Airborne)

Armor: Heavy Cerametal Composite with Neutronium-Carbonide Steel Reinforcement, Capital Class Ablative Shielding

Armament: 4 Siege/Planetary Weapon Mounts
8 Heavy Weapon Mounts
24 Light Weapon Mounts
8 Bladed Tentacles

Control Suite: 4 man crew in Neurosynaptic Interface Capsules

Carrying Capacity: 50 Troopers

Sensors: Mass Detector, CE Passive Array, Multiphase Radar, Audiovisual Feed

Power Core: Capital Class Distortion Core

Description: Upon the inception and implementation of this radical design, the GR&M head office had to admit that it never read any of H.P. Lovecraft's work, but after actually bothering to do so, they understood why people kept saying there was a connection.

It is a colossal battlemech, capable of wreaking tremendous levels of havoc and destruction upon entire cities from above, below, and in the enemy's face. Appearing at first as a massive tentacled obelisk jutting into the sky, it uses eight giant bladed tentacles to travel overland and grind enemy ground forces into dust, and that's just while it moves. The obelisk is actually an armored weapons platform that plays host to the largest armament on any one mech that the Godulans have developed. It is very easily capable of engaging enemy fleets from the ground with its primary weapons, and can bring even the deadliest of enemy mechanized units down with the fury of its weapons.

The actual weapons themselves are hidden within the bulk of the obelisk, and can be called into service at the will of the pilots. At this point, the Kraken essentially turns into a massive Swiss-Army Cannon, with all sorts of weaponry and missile emplacements emerging from its body.

We guarantee that when this thing washes up on shore, people will notice.

And run.

>> BAMBI-EYES Insidiously Cute Thermonuclear Penguin <<

Height: 1m

Maximum Speed: About 10mph. 20 if it slides.

Armor: None. Armor would make it less cuddly.

Armament: 1 Plasmatic Pulse Disintegration Bomb

Control Suite: Biomechanical standard for typical penguin. (A brain, but a very GOOD brain)

Sensors: Biomechanical standard for typical penguin.

Power Core: Biomechanical standard.

Description: It is the ULTIMATE weapon. A cute and cuddly creature that walks like a penguin, squawks like a penguin, and blows the hell up like a 1km asteroid impact. Despite its name, it is not actually a thermonuclear device and will not show up on any radiological scans, although a curious power signature will give it away. Luckily, simple sensor jamming will prevent this from being an issue.

It walks up to enemy lines. CLEVERLY disguised as a typical example of its species. Enemy is to worried about other attacks to care right up until they get vaporized in a shockwave of disintegrating energy. Oopsie.

PRICE TAG: $50 Million per unit (these things ain't cheap)

Armament: 4 sets of monofilament claws.

Control Suite: Biomechanical standard for typical kitten. (A brain, but a very GOOD brain)

Sensors: Biomechanical standard for typical kitten.

Power Core: Biomechanical standard.

Description: Small, fluffy, and cute. These creatures will drop you faster than you can say "Here kitty!". Extendable monofilament claws and a somewhat... unexpected burst of energy enables the Vorpal kitten to scythe through infantry without much resistance.

The Vorpal term in the creature description is not actually because of the monofilament blades, but because of the curious "Snicker snack" sound the creature makes just before initiating a strike. Efficacy doubled if exposed to tuna before deployment.

PRICE TAG: $50,000 per unit (mostly because of miniaturization)
(Note: 5% discount for bulk orders of 5 or more units)

Bump for Views and Attention While I Work on this thing.

Bump for views. Now have Prices and descriptions on the Warbot and Swarm categories.

Oh, while I'm still working on everything. In the event somebody should wish to see somewhat more detailed descriptions on some items, feel free to take a look-see at the following link:

I suppose you could say the two threads somewhat complement each other.

Will finish off the last three sections in a bit.

OOC: Nice stuff, Godular. Two thumbs up.

A purchase is already offered.

We know we are a young nation, and our comming to you like this must seem amusing. At least, considering the fleet we are trying to support. However, we do require the following items in the quantities specified in order to help us fully adapt.

10 Fire Ant Repair/Defense Swarms (4,037,500,000 after discount)
20 Worker Ant Large-Scale Construction Swarm (5,700,000,000 after discount)

Total price: 9,737,500,000

Which we shall pay using our waste budget. (OOC: http://www.sunsetrpg.com/economystatistics.php)

((Wow, very nice, and nicely extensive descriptions. I'd buy something if I wasn't a company.))

Lilith's Vengeance: Order confirmed, commencing manufacturing process. Product will be shipped upon confirmation of monetary transfer.

Monetary transfer confirmed.

Shipment en route. Make sure not to let them get bored. They tend to fidget.

Bump for customers. 3/5 sections completed.

TAG

Very interesting, swarms add a new strategic view to combat.

Bump, and thanks. I'm gonna be utilizing them a lot more in any upcoming battles.

The UFGZ would be interested in testing a SENTINEL SuperHeavy Multi-Theatre Shock Strike WarMech. It is likely that in the coming campaigns of the IRF, we will require forms of ground defense, especially since the defection of nearly the entire Federal Army.

However, we can find no purchase price...

We are slightly strapped for cash due to our current construction efforts, and we wish to know if a payment plan can be arranged should the weapon prove to cost more than a trillion Marks...

Sincerely,

The Federal War Department

Unfortunately, the reason that we have not placed a price tag on the Sentinel is that we have not quite finished fine-tuning it yet. However, do not despair, for we are more than willing to loan a few prototypes for combat testing.

After Combat Testing is completed, and we are able to put the item on full distribution, we shall see about the actual purchase, with an additional discount thrown in for assisting in the finalization process.

We would be most pleased to assist our allies in the testing of their weapon. If the prototypes can be shipped to the Kaluza/Thorn system, a Federal Transport can pick them up there.

We expect that trials should take a year or two, and by then we will have full combat test data available for Godulan weapons development personnel.

We greatly thank our ally, Godular,


-The Federal War Department

Shipment underway, a Godulan freighter will be waiting to rendezvous whenever you're ready.

OOC: If ya have any questions about the sentinel, feel free to look at the 'Out with the old, in with the new' thread I linked to earlier. Somewhere on the second page you should see a more detailed description of it.

Bump for views, gonna start work on the Cybernetics section today.

Even though the borg would probably try to assimalate this i will abide by your rules

ill buy:
5 FIRE ANT Repair/Defensive Swarm
2,125,000,000

5 WORKER ANT Large-Scale Construction Swarm
1,500,000,000

5 SPYFLY Multi-Theatre Surveillance Swarm
250,000,000

5 SABRECAT Multi-Role Shock BattleMech wolfpacks
3,500,000,000

total of
7,375,000,000 or 5,257,717,259.571 nanoprobes http://nseconomy.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?nation=prates

i will pay over thirty years and in each payment is 175,257,241.9857 nanoprobes

Order confirmed, manufacturing process initiated. Expect order to be completed within two weeks.

As per your purchase of the Sabrecats, we would like to know if you have any particular armament in mind, or if you simply intend to use your own?

ill use the default weapons except for one light weapon Mount ill use a laser cutter that i will send you

also because ill be using a drone i will also send you some specialized equipment to be used instead of controls (a neural interface and a device to communicate with the collective)

You will find that the Sabrecats are already equipped with a rather novel Neurosynaptic Interface, so you need not overextend yourself. Also, through our connections with multiple other cultures, we can manufacture borg comm nodes almost as easily as we make laptop computers. We have taken the liberty of replacing the mainframes that control the swarms with these comm nodes, no extra charge.

Standard Merchant Model Armament is as follows:

2 Heavy Weapon Mounts - 2 Heavy Turbolasers in a 2 cannon turret (Back Mounted)
4 Light Weapon Mounts - 4 Assault Blasters in a 2x2 formation (shoulder mounted)

OK thank you i hope will find the units reliable enough that i will be a repeating customer

As do we.

Oh, minor clarification, all that is required for you to utilize the comm nodes is to program in the frequency of the Collective link. There's instructions on how to do it in the box.

Captain Rorschak Testen die Inkblotten sighed as he oversaw the defolding process of his small frieghter, the Psykologie. Every time he went through the procedure, he was reminded of the actual physics and time distortions, where around the ship the whole process took less than a picosecond.

The ship defolded in a bright flash of light, the energy of the collapsing spatial distortion disappating into the void of space.

Manuevering to dock with the Godulan station in-system, a channel was opened to the Autarch, should he actually be here as he was so many years ago...

"This is captain Rorschak Testen die Inkblotten, of the Psykologie, requesting permission to dock and await cargo transfer."

A simple response from what appeared to be a traffic control supervisor popped on in response.

Oh, hi! Give us a second, the Freighter came through a few hours ago and left the cargo with us. Just open up the Cargo bay and they'll come right in.

OOC: Rorschacht Ink Blot Tests... heh...

OOC: Bump. Finished off the Body-Tanks subsection. I'll likely muck about a little with it later though

"What does their response mean to you?"

"I do not know what to make of it. It looks like letters interspersed over a white background..."

"To me it appears to be a random collage of lines..."

"I have determined that you have no sense of imagination or creativity from your analysis of the image..."



The lieutenant at Ops kept his head pointed downward at the console, but he lifted his eyes and threw a quirky look at the captain having a conversation with himself.

"Sir? Maybe we should just open the cargo bay doors?"

"Err..." One of the captain's personalities halted in thought. "Quite right."

"Yes, I say indeed. There is a much higher meaning to the collage of lines..."

And so it was done.

Through the door, with a great cacophany of thuds and clatters, a trio of massive metallic dragons stepped through the Cargo bay doors very nearly filling up the entirety of the cargo bay with their bulk. Their wings remained clasped at their sides, and the spines on their back were pressed flat.

One of the Sentinels turned to regard a lonely crewman, and brought its head close to sniff at the fellow's uniform. Obviously such would provide an imposing sight, to see a massive, bladed, metallic dragon snurfing one's lapels...

Alright, that's all of 'em. We suggest you get back to your homeworld quick. They might want to stretch out pretty soon.

The Outer Sanctum would like to order 100 of the Titan 7 and 100 of the Aegis 13 please. Such fine work must be tested.

B.A.7:

"Alrighty then. Order confirmed, manufacturing process initiated. Because you're an ally, we shall put the replication engines on overdrive in order to fulfill this massive order. Even so, estimated time of shipping is expected to be one month."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Outer Sanctum:

"Order confirmed, manufacturing process initiated, shipping will commence as soon as possible. we think you will find the controls of the body tanks to be quite intuitive, and their powers of protection and destruction to be most adequate. Just be careful not to smack into nearby buildings with the Aegis 13s, that usually doesn't turn out well for the body tank... or the building."

~Rivana, GR&M Head Office Department of Productions CEO

Godular:

Duly noted. We will alert our pilots. We would like to speak with you over private channels. Please contact us, we believe you will find it worth your while.

Unless you do not do custom contracts? Please let me know.

We'll do 'em... just tag it as secret in this thread or send a TG.

Leafing through the Classified Ads on the Holonet, the Masaki Twins were looking for new 'toys' to play with. Namely new weapons to unleash on the forces of the Dark Side. Soon, they spotted Godular's storefront and looked through it. Then began to grin as only mischevious twins can grin.

They began placing the following orders under the Army's budget:

5 Cougar Wolfpacks ($1000 million), 1 custom Cougar just for Taylor
5 Timberwolf packs ($1225 million), 1 custom Timberwolf just for Jacob

Custom Cougar should have the ability to breathe fire to burninate foes in place of missile mounts. The light weapon mount should be a Rapid-Fire Laser Cannon. He also requests a tigerstripe scheme on the 'skin'. It should answer to the name of 'Mouko'.
Custom Timberwolf should have 1 Rapid-Fire Laser Cannon. It shall answer to the name of 'Kenshi'.

Military animals shall have Heavy Blaster cannons (Think E-webs).

Can the custom-animal weapons be internally mounted?

Next up:

3 Spyfly Swarms ($150 million). 1 should be fly. 1 should be roach. and 1 should be a mix of fly/roach/ladybug.

2 Storm Hornet swarms. 1 with standard configuration ($75 million), 1 with Paralytic configuration ($100 million).

"Anything else?" Taylor asked Jacob.

"Not right now. We'll come back for more. This will be just a test platoon or something like that."

"All right. Let's tally up the price."

1000 + 1225 + 150 + 75 + 100 = $2550 million. Plus the custom.

with 10% off as an ally, that's $2295 million.

"We'll be back for more!" They said, and sent off the orders, plus the money from the army budget and then awaited for confirmation.

Orders recieved and confirmed. Manufacturing process initiated.

Mouth-mounted Flamethrower is usual standard with cougars. Assault blaster selected, and paintjob is an extra $250. Names will be determined during initial acclimatization.

Assault Blaster selected for Custom Timberwolf.

Blaster Cannon selected for Cougars/Timberwolves.

Internal mounting standard with Cougars/Timberwolves.

SpyFly and Storm Hornet purchases confirmed.

Expect delivery in two weeks.

Additional money for custom animals and paintjob has been wired.

Payment received, enjoy your engines of destruction.

Concerning: SENTINEL Battle Performance Testing

Dear GR&M,

Battle testing has been completed on the Federal colony of Kathros, which defected to the IRF a short while ago. The machines performed most admirably in combat, having been armed, of course, with standard Federal weaponry.

The SENTINELs have been approved by the remaining staff of the Federal War Department, mainly brass stationed on the Homeworld. We are authorized to purchase some 10,000 SENTINELs, whatever be your price. Should the cost prove to be beyond our current means (which will most likely be the case), we hope a payment plan can be arranged.

Sincerely,

The Federal War Department

To: Godulan Robotics & Mechanicals, Inc.

Concerning: Purchase of Sentinels

Dear GR&M,

We have just noticed the price attatched to the SENTINELs, and, upon further review of the cost, wish instead to purchase 30,000 units.

30,000 units, at $125 Billion USD (70,900,000,000 Marks) each,

Comes to a total of 2,127,000,000,000,000 Marks. At a twenty percent discount for being an ally, repeat customer, and bulk buyer, the final total comes to 1,701,600,000,000,000 Marks. An annual payment of 55,081,214,555,166.18 Marks will be made for 30.89 years, at which time the bill will have been paid.

The total payment, in USD, will come to $3,000,261,120,000,000.

Having declared Martial Law, the Military and Law-Enforcement budgets have become one, and, to better finance this purchase, all Commerce funding has been temporarily redirected. The construction of the third Ubervessel has also been stalled for want of funding.

Please contact us as to the feasibility of this deal.

Sincerely,

The Federal War Department

The Ministry of Commerce, having absolutely nothing better to do with its budget except kick it back to favored politicians, wishes to purchase three Nanite Terraforming Swarms for a total of $7.5 trillion.

Rumor has it that the Ministry of Defense is also interested in procurement, though officials there have not gotten around to scouring line-item appropriations from last year's budget. The MoC is not subject to such restrictions.

Friendly advice from a fellow Store Front owner:

I like what I see for stats for the stuff you're selling.

My only prob. is it's a little confusing for me.

1)The "Bolding" of each product is good, but I've discovered it's a bit hard to read the stats when you have multiple product's even while seperating them. It's why I orginize my store front the way I do (again, my preference. Just a suggestion). It also help's save room, make's it easier to look at.

2) If you could, I like to see pics whether they're links or actually on the store front.

Side Note: Considering our nations are actually more like enemies ICly, I'll be buying stuff for my good side pupet nation for our civil war.

I'm not quite finished with all the items yet. Having a bit of trouble thinking up the cybertech section. I'll get it done eventually.

2) If you could, I like to see pics whether they're links or actually on the store front.

There will be no pics until I can get a scanner up and working. There isn't really any shortcut picture I can gank off the internet as these things are all very much custom designed and imaged. I can draw the pictures myself, but like I said, scanner no workie.

Bump for business.

You got enough business from me to last the whole century...

True, but one can never have too much business :p

I am wondering if you could make a more detailed description for your biomechanical upgrades. I am thinking of purchasing a variety from the list, but I need to know what each does.

I knew I was forgetting something.

I'll fix that up on wednesday or thursday.

Thank you. I look forward to it.

Bump, updated a significant portion of the cyberware section, still need to put in price listings though.

Sub: Terraforming Swarm

As you are no doubt aware, in the process of total war it is inevitable that some planets become seriously damaged or otherwise adversely affected by the various weaponry used in any combat. As we are obligated to engage in the repair of said planets, we would like to purchase:

1 unit "Home-Sweet-Home Nanite Terraforming Swarm"

We understand that our current funding scheme has no way of paying the price required for this item, and instead will be (mis)appropriating funds from the Environmental budget, to the tune of 500,000,000,000 p.a.

If such an arrangement is possible, we will credit the funds to your coffers as soon as each installment becomes available.

To: Hakurabi Fleet Post-Battle Engineers Corps
From: GR&M Incorporated
Sub: Terraforming Swarm

We take installments. Making worlds suitable for children to play and lives to be lived is not something to be denied by something so simplistic as finance.

To: GR&M Incorporated
From: Hakurabi Fleet Post-Battle Engineers Corps
Sub: Terraforming Swarm

We thank you for your understanding, and will begin crediting the annual installments to your accounts immediately.

We would also like to request details on the deployment and retrieval of said swarm in order to develop a more effective protocol for cleanup.

Primary control of the Terraforming Swarm is handled through a central mainframe with a direct link to the Swarm's guiding overmind. Initial dispensation of the swarm is performed via multiple capsules that commence orbital insertion and break apart when a proper velocity is attained, releasing their cargo of terraforming drones which fly to the surface of the planet to begin their work.

Recollection of the Terraforming swarm, once their work is completed, is achieved via signalling an return command, whereupon the drones will return over the course of about a week, enter whatever storage receptacle you should decide to utilize, and return to dormancy.

Bump again, possibility of an upcoming extreme-tech humanoid model combat mechanoid being added to the allies only listing and a couple more general mechs to the others.

Bump for buyers

We would like to purchase 5 of your Sentinel Warmechs, mounted with Yamato Cannon, and Arclite Siege Cannon as their Planetary\Siege weapons, a Particle Disruption Cannon as their Custom Weapon, and Burst Lasers as their Heavy Weapons. The total price is 625 Billion, and we will provide all weapon units for installation.

(OOC: I've just retconned my national history [and tech], so the personality will be a tad different.)

---Iota Station Astronomics Department---
We would like to enquire as to the possibility of the commissioning of the construction of three specialised probes incorporating specialised technology for an experiment regarding mechanical evolution.

Our project requires Von Neumann probes of as much variety as possible within a specific set of parameters, and we have been contacting various manufacturers with similar commissions to acquire as large a variety as possible of compatible probes.

In paticular, we require probes with these traits:
- The probes must be able to construct new iterations of themselves.
- The probes must have a basic adaptive design protocol.
- The probes must not have the capacity for self-modification or extensive repairs.
- The probes must have a maximum lifespan of approximately 40 years.
- The probes must not have the ability to self-destruct.
- The probes must not incorporate weaponry.
- The probes must be able to communicate - but only using radio.
- The probes must incorporate an adaptive AI.
- The probes must not have any specialised programming beyond replication and communications (will be provided).
- The probes must not be fitted with a FTL module.
- The probes must be re-engineerable.

We are not looking for any trait in particular - we are looking for variety. You need not use any sensitive technology, or anything not widely known. You could even run a contest if you choose to, but we require unique designs.

Could we have a quote?

Mechanical Evolution? We understand your wish, but if you would desire, you could take up an inquiry with the government.

The Godulans hold their grasp of robotics to be sacred, and our knowledge of mechanized evolution was a central point of our present mastery of robotics, as well as our development of Armitage level mechanoids.

That being said, it would be possible that we would be willing to provide some information that we learned during our own work in robotic evolution, but we would require something of a more special concession in return.

Further negotiation would be required.

---Iota Station Astronomics Department---
Us at the academy understand your offer, however we would much prefer to conduct the experiment ourselves - we hope you understand.

However, perhaps it would be possible to negotiate the running of a competition in your universities - we are prepared to cover any costs and tariffs.

We would not feel it sporting to conduct any form of competition. Our hand in crafting the Kythons is proof enough in our eyes. Unfortunately though, as we stated, if you would seek to learn anything about mechanized evolutionary principles and stimuli, you would have to take the issue up with our government. Such information is regrettably classified.

Order confirmed, manufacturing process initiated. Kick their ass.

Bump with special addition to Ally-Only section. PENGUIN BOMBS.

ALLY ONLY

>> BAMBI-EYES Insidiously Cute Thermonuclear Penguin <<

Height: 1m

Maximum Speed: About 10mph. 20 if it slides.

Armor: None. Armor would make it less cuddly.

Armament: 1 Plasmatic Pulse Disintegration Bomb

Control Suite: Biomechanical standard for typical penguin. (A brain, but a very GOOD brain)

Sensors: Biomechanical standard for typical penguin.

Power Core: Biomechanical standard.

Description: It is the ULTIMATE weapon. A cute and cuddly creature that walks like a penguin, squawks like a penguin, and blows the hell up like a 1km asteroid impact. Despite its name, it is not actually a thermonuclear device and will not show up on any radiological scans, although a curious power signature will give it away. Luckily, simple sensor jamming will prevent this from being an issue.

It walks up to enemy lines. CLEVERLY disguised as a typical example of its species. Enemy is to worried about other attacks to care right up until they get vaporized in a shockwave of disintegrating energy. Oopsie.



So, what do I get for being the guy who had the idea in the first place?

Ya didn't. I'm a disgaea fan.

Ya didn't. I'm a disgaea fan.

I meant the whole "Hey, Explosive Penguin!" idea, not all the technical details you made.

As I said:

Ya didn't. I'm a Disgaea fan.

As I said:

Ya didn't. I'm a Disgaea fan.

Disgaea meaning?

the warrior king would like to order 50 rotweiler sized pet driods

at 250,000 money wired from goverment waste on confirm

Disgaea meaning?

There are two kinds of people: People who have known the awesomeness that is Disgaea, and people who are doomed to abject failure.

Unfortunately, due to the present political climate, we must inquire as to 'what offensive' you are referring to before we accept the order.

While we prize the relationship between our respective nations, we are not on the same side of the present hostilities, and utilization of such products against ESUS forces will result in... customer service difficulties.

the empire would like to order a costom buit war bot for pllanatry assaults

Unfortunately, construction of custom built mechanoids beyond those listed in the initial catalog pages are restricted to ally-only. You may purchase standard mechanoids with custom placed weapons attached to the mounts, however a specific robot with the purpose you intend would be relegated to the Sentinel, hence the restriction.

that wille be surficent can the be quiped with pahsers

As previously mentioned, sale of the Sentinel is restricted to Ally Only, and unfortunately you are not recognized as an Ally. As a standard patron you are authorized to purchase from all but the Ally-Only Section.

"<Greetings, esteemed ally! Once again, it has come to our attention that we need equipment with which to give the Sith Lords a massive hernia!>" Defense Minister Lowbacca the Wookiee roared through a holoscreen. "<As such, the Military High Command has procured a number of items for purchase and are now waiting at the checkout line, so to speak. Without further ado...>"

Immediately, the Wookiee sent a list:

Cougars - 30,000 - 2.25 trillion

Timberwolves - 30,000 - 900 billion

Sabercats - 10,000 - 2.5 trillion

Ursons - 10,000 - 4.25 trillion

Subtotal: 12.45 trillion

5% discount: 11.828 trillion.

100 Spyfly swarms:
5 billion. 5% discount = 4.75 billion.

23 Storm Hornet swarms. 9 paralytic, 5 neurotoxic, 9 standard.

900 million + 500 million + 675 million = 2075 million. Discount: 1.971 billion.

Order confirmed, manufacturing process initiated, sales director listed as presently in 'Amazed' condition and responding well to visual stimuli though muscular control has yet to reassert itself.

After concluding a $6 trillion arms contract with Coreworlds, and in light of certain mobilization statuses, we find ourselves in need of certain equipment, primarily of the industrial variety.

We have need of the following items:

7000 WORKER ANT Large-Scale Construction Swarms @ $300 million each= $2.1 trillion. Minus 5% bulk order discount= $1.995 trillion. We need as many delivered as possible, as soon as possible--we need fifty swarms at Konoha for salvage operations and the rest delivered to the White Diamond Drive Yards.

500 FIRE ANT Repair/Defensive Swarms @ $425 million each= $212.5 billion. Minus 5% bulk order discount= $201.875 billion. We need one hundred delivered to Konoha and the rest delivered to the White Diamond Drive Yards.

100 SPYFLY Multi-Theatre Surveillance Swarms @ $50 Million each= $5 billion. Minus 5% bulk order discount= $4.75 billion. We need all delivered to Konoha with a programmed mission profile of ferreting out and destroying bugs, self-destruct devices, wiretaps, and other nefarious items on captured Empire equipment. Please deliver fifty to Konoha and fifty to White Diamond Drive Yards.

Now, we wish to place certain, er, classified orders...

10 PLAGUEBRINGER Total-War Nanite Swarms @ $60 Billion each= $600 billion. We request specific programming for boarding actions; these nanite swarms need only disintegrate actual enemy personnel; we'd like to preserve the ships themselves for capture. Also they must work well with spyfly swarms to deactivate any self-destruct devices onboard enemy craft. As we recognize the expense in additional programming, we are offering a 20% inducement. Total of this order subsection would therefore come to $720 billion. Please deliver to White Diamond Drive Yards.

1000 FUZZY-WUZZY Insidiously Cute Vorpal Kittens @ $50,000 each= $5 million. Minus 5% Bulk Discount= $4.75 million. In order to provide insidiously cute bodyguards for certain high-value personnel, and raise morale within the military (as if such really needed to be done), we wish to provide our high-ranking military officers and some other personnel with cute, cuddly pets that serve the dual function of killing people who attempt to attack them. Of course, this requires that the kittens receive the proper programming to distinguish friend from foe, and in the absence of foe, preferably act like cute, cuddly kittens. Moreover, as honor duels do occur within our military, said kittens must have programming to refrain from attack at the direction of their masters. As we recognize additional programming expenses, we are once again offering 20% inducements, bringing the total for this section of the order to $5.7 million.

Order Subtotal: $2.812557 trillion

Order Total, after Repeat Customer and Ally Discounts: $2.39067345 trillion

Also, we would like to inquire as to the possibility of contracting with you for the fabrication of certain raw materials, most notably armor alloys and composites.

Order recieved, manufacturing process initiated. Alternate programming arrangements are accepted. Shipping arrangements acknowledged. The order will be filled in its entirety and all merchandise should arrive 'Toot-sweet'.

Queries regarding raw material production and shipping should be directed to your local Godulan ambassador. The government handles any and all material requisitions.

“Go there yourself, my apprentice. Be my will and eyes in that place, select the correct wargear and weapons for the mission.” - Alexander Kazansky chose his words carefully. He spoke of a small purchase of weapons in such a way that it seemed to young Leonard Bermudas a very important – so as to prepare him for carrying out important missions. And so the boy went out to the Earth offices of Godulari Robotics and Mechanics.

When he arrived, he was clad fully in black, and carried a lightsaber and a brace of pistols – as well as, more importantly, a limited debit card – if ‘limited applies to something charged with fifteen trillion dollars in Otagian currency.

His job was to choose and procure weapons for Kazansky’s new droid army.

He already knew of some of the purchases he had to make – a thousand “Spyfly” swarms, nine thousand Cougar warbots in “Wolfpacks”. That would however, only come up to a fraction of the cost – only about 650 billion dollars. More importantly, he had to secure the production of a massive amount of warships. Star Destroyers, carriers, superfeighters.

And his job was of course to choose the weapons and warships himself – and negotiate for prices.

To The Honorable Godulan Ambassador,
After observing your mechs on display, we came across a curious substance, neutronium, the densiest material known to humanoid species, apparently alloyed with steel as part of your mecha construction.
We are very interested in purchasing the formula and processes for making this alloy.

Regards,

Strategos Ralk

Allanea:

The apprentice's arrival caused some dust to lift off of the rotating door leading in from the little landing pad that constituted the majority of the Godulans' remaining presence on the dirty little mudball, and caused the lone representative no small amount of bemusement at the sudden departure from the norm. Godulan Robotics and Mechanicals did not get customers often, but the orders they filled out were truly prodigious.

A quick inspection revealed the newcomer as having no indication whatsoever of being lost, so the representative responded by simply bowing gracefully, accentuating the Godulan Avatar's form of a shapely human female. She gestured to the various holoprojections lining the walls of the entranceway, each depicting various iterations of the mechanoids under standard provision by the company.

"Greetings and salutations, prospective customer. You look like a man who knows what he wants and has the means to get it. I have to say you'd get a kick out of our body-tanks..."

Commonalitarianism:

The transmission, relayed and bantied about in multiple directions as it was, was rather swiftly responded to as a missive made its way back to the source of the transmission--

Neutronium-Carbonide Steel, though not classified as Top-Secret, remains a protected technology under Godulan Law. That is to say, only closely allied nations will get even a whiff of what we do in regards to the particular metallurgical processes necessary to generate the alloy.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Perchance you would seek to order some mechanoids? Mayhap some mechanical kittens?

Hello,
