| Designer Notes |
| The Rapier variant of the Iguana has the distinction of being Terra Nova's only mass-produced, dedicated dueling Gear. The Republican Army and the Southern MILICIA take dueling very seriously and have built a powerful tradition around combat with vibrorapiers in particular. The honor of a Southern Gear regiment is personified in the Duelist, a single pilot who represents all the best elements of the unit. A paragon of duty and honor, the Duelist is willing to prove the worth of his unit on the field of honor. The Rapier is designed expressly with these needs in mind. The most obvious alterations from the basic Iguana chassis, is the additional armor on the Gear's shoulder plates which allow ramming to increase combat efficiency in rapier duels. The protected, but less powerful, sensor array was borrowed form the Iguana MP to prevent the "blinding" of the duelist in the field. The Gear was also equipped with the latest virtual reality HUD controls. The Rapier is usually suppoed with a pack gun for use in different dueling techniques. |
