Designer Notes
The jungles of the Antarctic are terra incognita for many Northern Gear pilots. Even more so than the North's own dense forests, the jungle lends itself to a deadly, hide-and-seek style of warfare. Nevertheless, Northern high command has long recognized that its troops need to be ready to take the battle to the South's doorstep or the AST will gain a great defensive advantage from its jungles. The latest Northern Gear designed to fight on this type of enemy terrain is the Predator Jaguar, which entered service in TN 1931. Wielding the tried and true weapons systems of the venerable Razorback, the Predator brings paratrooper deployment to the table as well. The main weapon is a Paxton LGPC 106mm snub cannon, supplemented by a Forge 71mm shoulder-mounted rocket pod. To compensate for the limited internal ammunition storage of the LGPC system (as laid out for the Jaguar frame), a small armored, skirt-mounted ammunition canister houses an additional clip. The Predator also features an upgraded sensor system, but it has been plagued by slight technical difficulties and may eventually be replaced by the more expensive system used on the Panther. Standard jugnel camouflage netting was added to the Predator frame to add to its effectiveness in its terrain of choice.
