Pharaoh Units

Unit 00, Prototype, Piloted by Theodore Xavier

Distinguishing Features: Field Testing, Drag Brakes, Extra Eyes

Coloration: Deep blue, with gold trim. White eagle wings have been added to the wing pylons.

Notes: Developed in North America after the successful proof-of-concept trials in Germany, Unit 00 was the first fully-functional Pharaoh unit to be produced. After the completion of Unit 01, it was decided to keep Unit 00 in North America for field testing new weapons, as the Americans had plenty of open space for tests, and the African Union was leery of similar events in the Sahara. Currently, the unit is testing out experimental Positron weapons.

Unit 01, Test Type, Piloted by Adam Jaeger

Distinguishing Features: Photosynthetic, Hunched Posture, Drag Brakes

Coloration: Black, with gold trim.

Notes: While the prototype was designed to serve as a test-bed for new weapons and armor upgrades, Unit 01 used experimental genetic techniques during its growth phase. This resulted in some surprising differences, such as a limited ability to absorb solar radiation. To take better advantage of this feature, the unit was assigned to ATEN HQ in Egypt, though it was also fitted with the prototype's drag brakes in case it needed to be air-dropped in another region.

Unit 02, Provisional Type, Piloted by Lucien Asiri

Distinguishing Features: Prosthetic Limbs, Field Testing, Heavy Armor

Coloration: White, with gold trim. A golden Fleur-de-lis is embossed on the wing pylons.

Notes: Built in Germany by the precursor organization to ATEN, this proof-of-concept model was used in the first successful synchronization experiments. Originally consisting of an immobile head and torso, the defense of Bethany Base necessitated the experimental unit be re-purposed and upgraded with artificial limbs and mobility systems. It has since remained at Bethany base, guarding the labyrinthine tunnels.

Unit 03, Production Type, Piloted by Araceli de Sol

Distinguishing Features: Auto-Balancer, Glowing Eyes

Coloration: Forest green, with gold trim.

Notes: Designed for reliability, use of mass-produced components, and speed, Unit 03 was earmarked for ATEN HQ's defense. As such, its armor is sculpted to be both aerodynamic and eye-catching. As it was not intended to stray far from HQ, it lacks the drag brakes of the prototype and test type, making air-drops a more difficult affair, but boasts enhanced combat accuracy and mobility.
