Cornerian ROBOTECH

The Ultra Dimensional Fortress

As culled from Jack Archer’s memory and data records hidden on his veritech illegally by him and constructed by Cornerian Space and Naval forces and corporations in secret in case of a surprise invasion by interplanetary invaders.

The ship is three times the size of the original SDF-1 and houses advanced Lylat system as well as Earth equipment and weapons. It was built because of the fear brought by viewing records made by Jack Archer of the war he was in and because it was the perfect ship for also transporting colonists and supplies to far off points in the universe in one large effort.

The CVF-1A Cornerian Veritech Fighter

In an event similar to human beings discovering ROBOTECH inside a massive alien vessel, Cornerian scientists discovered a mysterious plant along with technological ruins inside massive underground caves located on a world within the Lylat System.

Utilizing these findings to design their own fold engine technologies, the scientists accidentally folded Jack Archer at the moment he was supposed to die to their universe. Jack Archer finding no apparent way home due to the scientists losing their equipment in the experiment, helped them design a new fold engine as well as update his Veritech Fighter into a new model using Cornerian technology.

The CVF-1A is the Lylat System’s first all purpose aerospace fighter. It can fight on the ground in its humanoid form or Battloid mode; it can also fly through the skies in its fighter mode and even as enough power due to an engine update to exit most planetary atmospheres while under its own power without any additional help or equipment.

The inclusion of G-Diffuser technology into its design enables the Veritech to generate shields and operate on par with the current Arwing aerospace fighters in use by team Star Fox. This means they can outperform or match the Arwing as far as speed and maneuverability thanks to its transformational capabilities.

However the CVF-1A due to its unique systems that are all still centered around robotechnologies; so still uses Protoculture derived fuel as its main power source for its Ion based fusion drive system. Developed by military scientists under the command of General Thaddeus Schwartz, on the research ship Epoch. These ion-based engines are capable on their own of pushing the CVF-1A to speeds in excess of light speed. And it can attain a warp speed (based on the Star Trek model) in excess of warp seven.

But as technology advances different power systems derived from research into Protoculture will surely yield a more advanced Cornerian Veritech design.

The EC-1K Hybrid Fighter

The EC-1K utilizes designs created by Star Fox engineer and pilot Slippy Toad. Based in part on Veritech and Arwing designs it is a hybrid fighter capable of daring one pilot raids.

It relies heavily on the pilot’s mental energies, thus allowing for more precise controls though it is a manually piloted fighter. Its real surprise and secret weapon is its remote bit blaster system. This when all the bits are fired at once produces a deadly beam weapon. It also has two gun pods, and four wing mounted blasters when in fighter mode. It is a ship designed to hold back a large force on its own since those same bits can defend the fighter and fend off and drive back a larger force of fighters. The bits also have an automatic fight mode that sets up a defensive barrier that effectively counters enemy attacks.

Great Fox II

The original Great Fox now retired and stored away decommissioned inside a secret asteroid location due to its secrets. Was one of the most famous ships in the service of the Star Fox team. In its wake came the Great Fox II, this ship is a hybridization of robotechnologies and Cornerian ingenuity as well as the latest team Star Fox equipment designed by Slippy Toad's new company Slipsoft.

The command area is nearly identical in outward appearances to the older ship. However hangar openings are located underneath and to the rear of the Great Fox 2 as well as the front. From these the new vehicles as well as updated Arwings can be launched quickly as well as taken in rapidly. At the rear are the main engines and the engineering areas. The general shape of the ship has changed a lot considering the need for a larger ship for rapid deployment against enemy opponents in space, over land and in the sea.

The Great Fox II can land in the water as well as on land due to landing struts that come out before it touches down. It is a far cry from the older Great Fox, which was too small to meet the needs of its growing team and crew. Plans are in progress however to retrofit the older Great Fox in secret incase the second ship becomes too small for its burgeoning crew.

1 x dual barreled beam cannon mounted on the front is the main cannon when the Xanad is in arwing and tank mode. Also can be used while on the surface when in submersible mode.
Homing Torpedo Launcher (1 - uses anti-hydrogen drawn from engines for ammo, theoretically) for sub mode.

1 Smart-Bomb Launcher (utilizes beam cannon barrels incapable of being used while in battloid mode)

DESCRIPTION:

The prototype Veritech Xanad all terrain vehicle is a true masterpiece. Fueled by Protoculture it has a super strong nearly indestructible hardened armor as well as weapons that are on par with a large-scale carriers beam cannons. It was thought impossible to place such weaponry on the Veritech Xanad. But its power system is a hybridization of Protoculture and standard Cornerian power systems. This dual power system allows for the beam cannons, which are similar to the production model’s laser cannons in appearance, to be used in rapid successive bursts before recharge is needed. It features, like in all versions an enclosed armored cockpit design capable of withstanding heavy assaults and is also capable of operating in space.

The tank mode is great for reconnaissance missions; pilots would simply land their craft, convert to tank mode and ride it over the ground to avoid detection from radar; and if discovered simply convert to arwing mode and take flight to make a quick escape.

As a Battloid the Xanad can withstand hard assaults, however only the prototype and Cornerian Army version have this mode capability. The prototype also has even more capability due to its dual gun pod guns mounted on the front of the Xanad prototype when in arwing and tank mode respectively. And that can be dual wielded when in Battloid mode. And if that was not enough two gatling cannons reside within the forearms of the Xanad prototype as well for even more firepower.

As a submersible the Xanad prototype is just as capable of surfacing and unleashing hell with attacks by its beam cannon and smart bombs as well as its torpedoes. Thanks to its four modes of transformation, armor, and superior weapons in battloid and tank mode. The Xanad Prototype is too expensive to produce as the mainstay ATV weapon but was used as the basis for the two other models in use by team Star Fox and Lylat forces.

DESCRIPTION:

The Veritech Xanad all terrain vehicle is also used by the Cornerian Military. The CVATV-1A series was constructed to replace the Landmaster and Blue-Marine respectively. And is in use by the Star Fox team currently. It features, like in all versions an enclosed armored cockpit design capable of withstanding heavy assaults and is also capable of operating in space.

The arwing mode is for transport purposes when tank treads are not capable of getting the Xanad to a location that normally would be inaccessible. While incapable of reaching outer space on its own, it is capable of operating in space and is a capable heavy armor fighter-bomber.

As a submersible the Xanad is capable of surfacing and unleashing hell with attacks by its beam cannon and smart bombs as well as its torpedoes. It is a force to be recognized and feared.

1 Smart-Bomb Launcher (utilizes laser cannon barrels incapable of being used while in battloid mode)

DESCRIPTION:

The Veritech Xanad all terrain vehicles used by the general military lacks a submersible mode. However it is still versatile and can be utilized effectively in ground warfare. It features, like in all versions an enclosed armored cockpit design capable of withstanding heavy assaults and is also capable of operating in space.

As a Battloid the Xanad can withstand hard assaults, however only the prototype and Cornerian Army version have this capability. This was due to costs and the fact that the Lylat forces had a strong enough naval fleet supplemented by Veritech fighters. So the sub mode was removed from the Army version. Also the army version lacks the gatling guns inside the forearms of the prototype version, having only to rely on its single gun pod for attack and defensive purposes when in battloid mode. It is still highly superior to other older tank units using during the Lylat War.
