| Designer Notes |
| The Southern Republic quickly adopted the Heavy Gear as a useful tool of war, but lagged behind the Northern leagues for several cycles before it started developing its own concepts and designs. The Jager Recon is an almost straight adaptation of the lightened Hunter Heavy Gear that was fielded as a makeshift reconnaissance vehicle by the Northern armies. The Recon variant transformed the standard Jager soldier chassis into a scouting and light assault unit by removing most of the arm and leg armor plates and replacing them with lightweight ballistic cloth. The reduced mass did help to get more speed out of the various actuators, but not much. The frame of the Jager was designed for a certain optimum speed and range of movement, and no reduction in armor can push the design past its limits. Despite the loss of armor protection, the Recon moves only about 5 kph faster than other Jagers. It was, however, much cheaper to build because it carried less armor and a single weapon. While few units and pilots relish the dubious performance of the Jager Recon, many high-ranking officials in the AST appreciate the savings. |
