History

Even the complete destruction of Unit 04 and Silent Shadow at the closing of the “End Wars” was not enough to prevent Twilight from implementing the Simulacra process on them to bring them back as agent of the Ascendancy. Simplified in some ways to insure that this warrior and his engine of destruction could be mass produced and upgraded in other areas to insure that they would be on the bleeding edge of weapon technology. Used as Lieutenant and enforcers for the regular forces this Deus Assault Aquila was a common sight for large battles and special missions.

General

Using a modified body taken from Unit 04 this Deus Assault Aquila was more complicated than the standard Aquila. Fast, maneuverable and able to take a beating the renamed Nephilim had very few weaknesses. Lacking in the overpowering ability of the original the Nephilim had to adopt the overframe system to make up for the lack of god animating spirit. Countering any shortfall in the Simulacra process was a whole slew of technology taken from every faction encountered.

Weakness

It was not a real Shadow Obscura mecha and therefore was not invincible or nigh omnipotent. Though powerful as any other mecha fielded by other factions, this unit lacked the psychological impact of the original unit. It had to awaken an Overframe system to fully realize its potential which left it open to attacks as it was summoning the overframe. Once summoned however this unit was unstoppable except for a factions best units.
