Creation
Humanity begins to take a stand and fight back with the Jaegers.

The Jaeger Program was first developed by Dr. Lars Gottliebshortly after Jasper
Schoenfeld proposed the idea for the Jaeger at the 2014 conference in Seoul, South Korea following
the fourth Kaiju attack on Sydney, Australia in September.

Prior to the conference, Schoenfeld looked for a more efficient way of killing the monsters without
the use of nuclear weapons. Upon witnessing his son playing with a toy robot and toy monster in his
room, he came across the inspiration for giant humanoid mechs which could stand up to the Kaiju
without resorting to nuclear weapons. Dr. Jasper Schoenfeld's idea was approved by the United
Nations.
With the help of Caitlin Lightcap, an expert in brain-machine interface, Schoenfeld was given funding
to begin construction on the first prototype Jaeger in a warehouse in Pittsburgh. However, the cost of
production made the Pan Pacific Defense Corps hesitant to continue funding Schoenfield and
Lightcap. The assistance of Stacker Pentecost in testing the Pons System's effectiveness, however,
convinced the Defense Corps. to give the scientists a larger backing than before.
Though the construction of the first Mark-1 prototype Jaeger Brawler Yukon was successful,
drawbacks connected to the neural interface overloading the mind of its test pilot brought into
question the Jaeger Program's feasibility. Lightcap's risk to bridge with the mind of the next test
pilot, Sergio D'onofrio, created a connection between the two based on technology developed by
DARPA, which allowed them to simultaneously pilot the Jaeger successfully. Pleased with the
results, the Defense Corps greenlit the production of more Mark-1 Jaegers that were later deployed
across the Pacific in specific countries to intercept the Kaiju attacks.
Mark Status
The “Mark" label assigned to each Jaeger refers to the launch schedule. The production program
was divided into five annual roll-outs that began in 2015 and ended in 2019. Six Mark-1’s were
deployed in 2015, followed by the Mark-2’s in 2016 and the Mark-3's in 2017. Mark-4 and Mark-5
Jaegers were the last produced in 2018 and 2019. Jaegers have no standardized design template;
body-types vary widely within each “mark." This level of diversity among the Jaeger designs and
weaponry was a tactical response to the high variability in Kaiju shapes.
All Mark-1 through Mark-3 Jaegers utilized nuclear reactors, which put their pilots at substantial risk
of developing cancer. Gipsy Danger and Cherno Alpha were the last active nuclear-powered
Jaegers to play a part in the continued defense of Hong Kong and mission to assault the Breach.
Mark-4 and Mark-5 Jaegers, however, used digital technology, minimizing the dangers to the pilots
inside the Conn-Pod.
Unfortunately, the development of the Jaeger program has not come cheaply. The cost of building
the Mark-5 Jaeger Striker Eureka, for example, was reputed to be over a hundred billion dollars,
more than ten times the cost of a nuclear aircraft carrier.
Combat
As an alternative to nuclear weaponry, Jaegers were designed to generate as much kinetic energy
as tactical ordnance. They were built to match the estimated scale of Kaiju, and minimize damage
created by conventional weapons. However, given the toxic nature of the Kaiju, Jaegers were
required to rely on hand-to-hand combat and close-quarters weapons such as swords or other
blade-type weapons. In conjunction with close-quarters combat, heat-based weapons such as
the Plasmacaster minimize the spread of Kaiju Blue, as they can wound and cauterize the creatures
at the same time.
In order to prevent damage to major cities, Jaegers are often deployed from their respective
Shatterdomes into the neighboring harbors or oceans of cities that hug the coastlines of the Pacific
Rim. Though they fight at a disadvantage in the water, a Jaeger's priority is to prevent Kaiju from
crossing the Miracle Mile, the last-ditch perimeter within a few miles offshore. Should a Kaiju bypass
a Jaeger and cross the ten-mile line, it becomes difficult to stop a Kaiju from reaching the land.
As such, unavoidable combat that occurs within populated cities creates equal, if not more damage
to the surrounding environment. Combat with a Kaiju is estimated to take two hours or
more. Whether this is determinate of the pilot's skills or strength is undetermined.
Operations
Deployed and constructed in Shatterdomes, Jaegers are handled and maintained by dedicated
teams assigned to each mech. The LOCCENT Mission Control and Controller appointed to
LOCCENT oversee various operations and deployment.
Jaegers are controlled by two, or rarely three, pilots stationed inside the Conn-Pod. Pilots are
equipped in a type of specialized armor that allows them to simultaneously interface with the
machine. The pilots' very minds are connected in a neural bridge that allows them to control the
machine's every movement.
