The following material is an adaptation of mecha from the Japanese TV series GENESIS CLIMBER MOSPEADA, (which became the latter half of Robotech in the U.S.). This MOSPEADA version is derived from two versions designed to fit into the Robotech rpg each given to me by Rick R. Mortis and Rob Daley. Please feel free to use, copy, and distribute it as you see fit. All I ask is that you give proper credit to me and do not claim that it is your own work. Comments and suggestions are welcome.

BACKGROUND

The Inbit Invasion of Earth taught humanity several terrible lessons, that humanity was not alone, and that having the most technologically advanced armies didn't mean you would win. The Inbit mecha could run circles around any ground forces that Earth could muster. Mars Base began a crash development scheme to create human made mecha which could forefill air and ground attack roles and the Condor was the first combat useable mecha developed. Virtually every single piece of equipment and systems on the Condor was in the prototype stage, most which became standard for the Legioss. The Condor roughly resembles the later Legioss in body shape. However the variable form put forward to solve the air combat role, was not yet implemented in a combat ready form. To this end a large booster backpack was created to give the Condor some limited flight ability.

While the Condor was ready and able to go into combat, most Mars Base officers however considered it more a proof of concept mecha. Many of the Condors produced served as training units to give the newly minted Mars Base soldiers a crack at piloting a non-simulation mecha. A small number went on combat trails to see how they really worked against the Inbit. Against small numbers of Inbit, it proved unbeatable, and about half Condors used in the combat tests returned to Mars. The combat data gained proved invaluable in the development of the Legioss. In the planning stages of the First Earth Recapture Mission, the now obsolete Condor was added to the fleet to bolster the Mars Base forces. The Condor had served admirably on Earth, but eventually all Mars Base forces, even the more advanced Legioss's, were overwhelmed. Now only a limited number of Condors remain on both Earth and Mars.

CARGO:
Small 24" x 24" x 12" compartment behind pilot's seat for personal belongings.
POWER PLANT:
2 x Liquid Hydrogen fuel turbines using 16 standard HBT cells have a life of 250 hours(10 days) of constant use. An optional external booster engine pod can be attached to the back. The two engines in the pod are rated to 112 kN each, but can only be fired for 4 minutes before fuel burnout. Typically, this pod was employed when the mecha was used for fast raids.
 

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

  1. EP-12 80MM TRI-BARREL GATLING BEAM GUN: This is the primary weapon of the Condor able to fire 240 rounds per minute. The barrels can be fired in sequence, or in one full power burst, with a rate of fire of 80 salvos per minute. This was the prototype for what became the EP-14, the Legioss's gunpod.
  1. MM-42 Multi-missle system: The main claim to fame of the Condor, 42 variable warhead, short range homming missiles, more than any other fighter at that date. Eight are located in each shoulder; another 10 can be loaded in the left arm missile racks, and 8 can be loaded into the missile racks on each leg. Also 6 more missiles can be mounted under the chest blocks, much like on the Legioss.
  1. HAND TO HAND COMBAT: If necessary, the pilot of the Condor can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The Condor is extremely agile and can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc.
