With the so-called “End War” on the horizon the 20-year cold war between the 6 major factions came to a close. This cold war had accelerated the already rapid weapon development by all major factions. The Golden Hegemony had taken the brunt of the damage done in the “Final War”. With his forces much depleted High Lord Gold Conqueror retreated into his core dimensions to rebuild his forces. What he emerged with were more then enough to finally end the weakened Grand factions who were by a twist of fate dealt a critical blow in the middle of the “End War”. Even at the height of the Grand factions powers they could barley stand a chance against his new generation of battle pods.

Piloted by specially cloned “Neo-soldiers” these new generations of fighters were more limited in numbers (relative to most mainstream Golden Hegemony battle pods, they still numbered in the several millions) but made up for this with their unprecedented power. Each Neo-soldier was cloned with a healthy dose of psychic ability which greatly enchanced there ability in battle. Now able to even fight the vaunted psychic pilots of the Grand Arms destroids very few enemies could match the Hierophant in individual battle.

This battle pod unlike previous battle pods was optimised for multi-function role, as well as for solo missions. If long endurance was required a “Dominator” pack could be added on which not only increased the already impressive range but the overall ability of the already impressive battle pod.

For its main weapon the Hierophant mounted a physically small by extremely destructive psycho cannon. Boosted by the pilot’s psychic power this cannon could level most fighters, mecha, capital ships, and even fortresses! The only draw back was the limited psychic energy a pilot possessed. Like a battery overuse of this cannon could even kill a Neo-soldier. Backing this awesome weapon were the usual cluster of mass drivers. The main mass diver was up gunned in mass. This mass driver had the potential kinetic energy to crater a mid sized city! The psychic guided energy launchers were the first of their kind on a Golden Hegemony mecha. Similar in function to the Grand Arms equivalent these beams were not as powerful though their homing ability were on par. Rounding out the projectile arsenal were GAM (covered later) and missile arrays.

With the most hardened defences so far encountered as well as blistering fast speed the “Kwan Dao” could see its domination continue into the near future…
