INTRODUCTION
The Burning Memories supplement introduces
eight full new mech licenses; the IPS-Northstar
Siegel and Attila, the Smith-Shimano Corpro Phaon
Crescent and Maculineon, the HORUS Chthonian
and Shrieker, and the Harrison Armory Aquinas
and Fujita.
NEW TAGS
The supplement also introduces two new tags:
Outnumbered and Battered. These “states” confer
effects when certain conditions are met. The listed
effect triggers and remains active as long as these
conditions are met.
If an effect lists Outnumbered or Battered effects,
by default, they apply when the originating character
is Outnumbered or Battered, unless otherwise
specified.
OUTNUMBERED
A player character is Outnumbered while there are
a greater number of hostile characters than allied
characters (including themselves) within Range 5 of
them. Characters with the Elite template count as
two characters. Characters with the Ultra template
count as three characters. Drones do not count
towards Outnumbered.
BATTERED
A player character is Battered while they have two
or fewer Structure remaining.

 IPS-N
SIEGEL
Defender/Support

The Dawnline Shore is an area steeped in conflict, in both open combat and
boardroom politics. Borne from the latter and rigged together for the former,
the Siegel is the product of an unofficial, clandestine project headed by a
reformist faction of rimward IPS-N engineers, disillusioned with their
employer after its persistent cooperation with Harrison Armory’s colonial
suppression efforts. A large, bulky, yet highly mobile close-quarters
intervention frame, its role as a first responder to outmanned and outgunned
colonial resistance theaters has earned it a venerated reputation along the
Shore.
A popular (and perhaps apocryphal) frontier story details a battle in which a
rebel Siegel pilot single handedly defended his home settlement against a
battalion of Barony combined arms forces, buying enough time for a zero
casualty evacuation effort. Upon returning to the settlement, the residents
found the Siegel damaged beyond repair, yet miraculously standing upright, the
province's banner draped proudly over its shoulders. And though the pilot lay
dead inside the cockpit, the memory of his impossible victory lives on; all
Siegel frames thenceforth have been printed with a flowing cape, a garment
which has become synonymous with the frame in the Dawnline Shore.

Main Rifle, Knockback 3
[Range 10] [1d3 Energy]
Initially considered a failed experiment
in pre-emptive casualty reduction
technology due to inconsistent combat
performance, the RPK-799 Photokinetic
Projector was mothballed in the
prototype stage, until a newer member of
the reformist engineers, under heavy
influence from a local alcoholic
beverage consisting of insectoid plasma
and psychedelics, proposed the emission
of a crude electronic "paint" payload.
The results yielded were spectacular;
upon detonation, wave-feedback from a
newly added short term target designator
could now apply an impressive
photokinetic force.

You begin to protectively carry an adjacent allied
character. You can carry multiple passengers of a
combined Size equal to your Size, minus 1/2.
While carrying them:
● Passengers share your space(s), move when
you move, gain Hidden and Invisible, and
benefit from hard cover at all times. Hostile
characters drawing line of sight to passengers
do not remove Hidden from them.
● Neither you nor your passengers may take
actions except for standard movement,
Activate (Shield system), Stabilize, Brace,
Boost, or you releasing the carry as a free
action.
● Passengers may exit the carry as part of any
movement.
This system may be used while flying and
ignores the Size 1/2 aerial carrying limitation.
Manipulators are popular chassis
attachments in civil service and search
and rescue spheres, particularly in
developing colonies and settlements. As
a more combat-capable method of valuable
and delicate asset extrication combining
elements of the existing IPS-Northstar
Mule Harness and Argonaut Shield, this
(typically arm or torso mounted)
up-armored manipulator array can provide
near total defensive coverage to a
heavily damaged ally, at the cost of
prohibitive range of movement for both
parties and greatly limited area of
effect.

the phenomenal shift in combat momentum

 IPS-N
ATTILA
Striker/Defender

5009u saw the beginning of the invasion of the small nation of Valrania under
the heel of the Ghetsin Empire, the dominant imperial force on the planet
Tartarus. Noting waning morale among advisors and other members of his
council, Lord Protector Haral Thorvaldsson proudly announced that he had no
intention of letting the assimilation that befell his neighboring countries
creep a single step further into the lands of his people. Commissioning a
sturdy interdiction frame amongst his military researchers, Thorvaldsson would
assume the helm and go on to lead his forces in a number of crucial battles
that ultimately led to the retreat of the Ghetsin invading force…for now.
Imposing and stalwart, the design of the unit mounted by Thorvaldsson has
since been modified by IPS-Northstar and has entered a limited production run
to gauge public interest. Immensely sturdy, the newly christened Attila boasts
an array of extremely powerful hydraulic reinforcements to maintain combat
readiness at all times; it is said that even ultra-caliber artillery shells
will fail to force it to the ground, if they can even penetrate its adaptive
armor.

 SSC
PHAON CRESCENT
Striker

With the advent of the White Witch and Emperor, Exotic Materials was
thrust into the limelight as one of SSC’s premier development partners.
However, while certainly successful militaristically, the brutal
sterility of these platforms did not appeal to the boldest of Smith
Shimano’s regular patrons, those pilots and Lancers seeking to show off
for sport and fame as much as to enhance their combat efficacy:
Daredevils.
Starting with a standard schedule lightweight chassis, weight was kept
to a minimum to allow for maximum acceleration, torque, and
maneuverability in combat. Though lacking in the heavy armaments and
defensive options of more “reliable” line mechs such as the ever-popular
Metalmark, a series of frame-orbital blinkspace holsters and sheaths
keeps the overall weight to a minimum while allowing for a veritable
arsenal of weaponry, able to be brandished, fired, and stowed with
lightning speed. The result is a mechanized chassis with the highest
effective combat uptime of any of SSC’s models to date.
Due to prohibitively expensive manufacturing costs, reaction-dependent
defensive mechanisms, general frailty for something designed for close
to mid-range combat, as well as the overall difficulty in piloting the
frame, SSC have instituted a rigorous virtual reality test course for
prospective buyers, and refuses sale to any unable to pass. With a
rumored success rate in the single digit percentages, many an interested
combat veteran has exited these training courses shaking their head and
grumbling of the frame’s (well-documented) demands on them. EXMATs have
written this off as an “issue of pilot skill”, which has only encouraged
even more pilots to test their mettle in the pre-purchase trials as the
glory of successfully taming the Phaon Crescent generates more attention
and sales for SSC as a whole.

MACULINEON
Striker/Support

Initially commissioned as a single-designer frame for a fabulously

wealthy Baronic orchestral conductor, the Maculineon is Smith-Shimano’s
newest, and perhaps strangest, addition to their LUX-Iconic line of
exotic chassis. Utilizing esoteric sonic weaponry, it enables unique
vectors of both offensive and supportive combat prowess by way of a
dense network of hand-made "Resonance-class" comp-cons.
Due to the remarkable costs to outfit the eclectic and burgeoning
technology employed by the Maculineon, the frame is 100% built-to-order,
with customization directions being applied in advance by the designer
rather than post-delivery. Common customizations include the refactoring
of included weaponry and systems into non-standard instruments, such as
mech-scale guitars, conducting wands, and percussive implements. These
are, of course, combat-ready as delineated by LUX-Iconic regulations.

 HORUS
CHTHONIAN
Controller

References to the Chthonian pattern group were first observed in a highly

classified incident concerning the re-emergence of an IPS-N shipping fleet
from blinkspace at the titanic Blink Gate Rao Co. Of the seventeen
freighters that entered blinkspace at incident time, sixteen reappeared at
the destination gate without incident and within the expected fifty-three
millisecond arrival window. Ship 17, however, did not reappear with the
fleet, at least not initially.
Thirty-six seconds after the arrival of the rest of the fleet, Ship 17
re-emerged from blinkspace at the destination gate. Details beyond this
have been restricted from even high-ranking UIB officials, with only a
handful of its most eminent members being granted security clearance. The
ship appeared to have suffered an enormously extended period of weathering
and aging (minimum estimations were later deemed comparable to 140,000
years of wear and incidental meteoroid impacture), and all attempts to
establish contact with Ship 17 were met with silence. Indeed, it appeared
that no communication modules were functional at all. Stepping aboard the
ship, investigators discovered it in a state of utter disrepair and
long-suffocated mayhem. Additionally, all digital code aboard the ship
appeared to be overwritten with what would be discovered as the code for
the Chthonian p-g. There was no evidence of ship-to-ship combat or boarding
activity, which ruled out blink-interdiction piracy, but the abject
disarray that beset every deck and room of the ship indicated an
unexplainably long period of unrest among the crew, with sections of the
ship (including airlocks) seeming to have been sealed off, guarded, and
stormed over hundreds if not thousands of years.
UIB investigators failed to locate any surviving crew members, with the
vast majority of them seeming to have vanished without a trace. The only
evidence of organic material on the ship at all was limited to a small
mound of highly radioactive biomass, discovered in the engine room of Ship
17. This was where the most harrowing discovery of the incident was
uncovered. Upon thorough examination, the biomass discovered contained
remnants of human DNA; however, impossibly, the nucleobases present were
somehow overwritten with the same Chthonian p-g code that pervaded the rest
of the vessel.
The UIB has kept this code a secret with the utmost priority, but the
investigators that searched the ship, as well as the leading board members
tasked with safeguarding the Chthonian's code, have reported troubling
psychological developments, including nearly irrepressible urges to upload
it to the omninet. The UIB is working closely with GALSIM in order to
ascertain collateral minimization in the event of such an incident.

SHRIEKER
Artillery/Controller

Initially thought to be part of the Manticore p-g due to its highly

unstable energy profile, the Shrieker garnered official designation as a
unique off-shoot after several key events in the Dawnline Shore forced a
number of military organizations to give it a classification. Unnerving to
behold, the Shrieker is worse still to hear; at maximum throughput, it is
said to emit a shrieking, distorted wailing noise reminiscent of wounded,
cornered fauna. Field researchers postulate that this could be a product of
its somewhat fractured reactor structure, but this could just be wishful
thinking in lieu of any hard evidence.
In addition to the bone-chilling auditory emissions from which the frame
gains its namesake, the Shrieker has gained infamy for its distinct style
of locomotion: a frenetic, undulating scrambling of limbs that carelessly
drags the main body of the frame along the ground. An unsettling number of
battle reports involving a Shrieker sighting detail the frame’s continued
operation even after the undercarriage armor has been fully stripped,
exposing and damaging internals while shuddering violently across the
battlefield. This seemingly has no effect on the frame’s combat
capabilities.

Yan Chenguang was a brilliant physicist at the forefront of research on

fluid mechanics, whose standout claim to fame (if indeed she could be said
to have just one), was her development of a theory of "parafluids", or
fluids that behave in temporally and molecularly disjointed ways when
supplied with a high amount of energy. Despite the high regard that her
discoveries brought her in the scientific community, without an as-yet
undiscovered source of the remarkable amount of energy required to
manipulate these parafluids, her theories were little more than impractical
speculation. However, Harrison Armory's well-guarded discovery of a unique
crystalline substance on the Rimward planet Wyach provided the perfect
energy source for the manipulation and containment of these parafluids.
It wasn’t long before research into tactical implementations of these
parafluids, and by extension the Wyach crystals, began to be funded by the
Armory. The result of this research is the Aquinas. The combination of the
Aquinas’s parafluid arsenal and the abilities of the Wyach crystal granted
Harrison Armory a unique opportunity to provide mechanized support in
high-variance combat situations, able to adapt and respond to nearly any
threat with little to no preparation required.

to their cooling applications; the
superconductivity of gold combined with
the voracity of nanites produced a
"goldwash" swarm, capable of extracting
and terminating thermal radiation over a
large area.

The desire for self-sufficient meteorological platforms as a precursor to

corporate terraforming operations has skyrocketed in recent years, as
classical ground-based solutions have proven much more accurate than
orbital satellite readings. Legged frames have proven themselves time and
again in the traversal of uncharted wilderness, scouting the landscape and
monitoring weather patterns in search of locales favorable for human
survival. These mechanized platforms field cloud-seeding technology to
further modify regional weather on large scales in preparation for
colonization efforts.
The Fujita is an odd departure from Harrison Armory's typical combat
philosophy in that it was not initially created as an implement of war.
Built on an innately sturdy frame inspired by the weather modification
platforms that came before it, additional armor plating was provided in
order to survive even the heaviest of storms and most dangerous of fauna.
It was at this point that Harrison Armory began to seriously consider the
combat applications of weather alteration; it is hypothesized that
wide-network detachments of Fujitas could potentially destabilize weather
patterns for long periods on regional scales.

70K FROSTTHROWER, PRECISION HYDROELECTRIC CONDUIT
70K Frostthrower
Main Cannon
[Cone 5] [1d3 Kinetic]
On Hit: Your target becomes Slowed until the
end of their next turn.
While older iterations of the
"Frostthrower" utilized expensive and
bulky canisters to contain the required
liquid nitrogen ammunition, a refactor
has provided it with the ability to fire
sustained bursts of supercooled material
over a large area. Material is provided
via teleportation from a small,
localized, stabilized blinkspace rupture
that then feeds into the updated
canisters. The Armory is currently in
discussions on how best to market this
to IPS-Northstar, who seek such a
solution for their Leviathan Heavy
Assault Cannon's own ammunition needs.
Precision Hydroelectric Conduit
2 SP, Quick Action, Unique
Create a Blast 1 ionized puddle in valid spaces
within Sensors and line of sight (these spaces do
not need to be free). The first time a character
within this area takes Energy damage, all
characters in the area take an additional 3
Energy, and the area becomes charged for the
rest of the scene; characters that start their turn in
a charged puddle or that enter it for the first time
in a round take 3 Energy damage. Characters
can only be damaged by puddles 1/round.
If multiple puddles have at least one space
adjacent to each other, they connect and consider
their area shared. If an uncharged puddle
becomes connected to a charged puddle, it also
becomes charged. As a quick action, you may
dissipate a puddle and all puddles connected to it.
A finely tuned nozzle-mounted battery
suite is capable of producing ionized
liquids with surprising throughput. With
any electromagnetic influence, these
liquids become supercharged, able to
destabilize electronics and metallic
surfaces alike.

A premier solution to heavy defilade
engagements, the Raijin employs a
two-stage targeting system to first
excite airborne particles, then direct a
"cloud-to-ground" discharge from the now
electromagnetically-charged source media
towards a designated target.
Wave-Motion Coriolis Generator
2 SP, Full Action, Unique
Select a Line 10 area originating from yourself.
Characters in the affected area, as well as all
spaces adjacent to that area, must pass a Hull
save or be knocked back 3 spaces in the direction
of the line. You may choose to ignore this effect.
Utilizing similar blinkspace
transportation methodology to the 70K
Frostthrower, liquid media is sent from
a remote location through a subspace
rupture to mech-mounted storage tanks in
the field for near-unlimited uptime.
Diasporan records show that small squads
of no more than a dozen mechs outfitted
with Coriolis Generators are regularly
capable of containing and completely
extinguishing large forest fires within
a matter of hours.

HEAVY SLEET NEXUS, FUJIN-CLASS NHP
Heavy Sleet Nexus
Heavy Nexus, Smart
[Range 8] [2d6+1 Kinetic]
Instead of attacking normally, you may attack with
this weapon as though it were either [Line 8] or
[Range 8, Blast 1]. If you do so, you deal half
damage, and the affected area becomes difficult
terrain for the rest of the scene.
The Heavy Sleet Nexus emits high-speed,
supercooled waves of greywash nanites to
blast its target with freezing bursts
that rapidly eat away at mechanized
inorganics. Toggleable fire-modes allow
some of this output to be projected in
wide-pattern formations for increased
area control.
FUJIN-Class NHP
3 SP, AI, Unique
Your mech gains the AI tag and Tornado.
Capable of generating a series of
pinpoint, total atmospheric vacuums,
FUJIN-Class NHPs were commonly utilized
for terraforming and weather
conditioning tasks on uninhabited worlds
to prepare them for human colonization.
Military applications have found them
producing extremely violent wind
patterns capable of tossing heavy debris
for miles around.
FUJIN-Class NHPs tend to be, above all,
spontaneous. They are open-minded,
carefree, and generally
positively-natured, with good senses of
humor. However, their moods and emotions
have been known to shift easily and
intensely, and they will not hesitate to
let their feelings on a particular
matter go unheard.
Tornado
Full Action
You create a Blast 1 tornado (which extends 50
spaces directly upwards) in free and valid spaces
centered on a point within Range 10 that lasts for
the rest of the scene, until you use this action
again, or until you dissipate the tornado as a
quick action. Ranged attacks made into, out of,
or through the tornado receive +1 Difficulty.
At the end of each of your turns, the tornado
moves 1d6 spaces or as close as possible
towards the nearest character; you may take 2
Heat after rolling to choose the direction instead.
Characters that start their turn in the area or that
enter it for the first time in a round must pass a
Hull save or take 4 kinetic damage and be
knocked back 2 spaces. Flying characters
automatically fail this save, and are forced to land
(without taking fall damage) before being knocked
Prone. They cannot fly on their next turn.
