MGV Forces and Orders of Battle: Japan
Japanese MGV
forces are manufactured at the main L5 stations. Their physical attributes are
little known, although they are unquestionably the most dangerous units in
service throughout the solar system. They have never lost an engagement and
they use their control of MGV secured battlezones to police up their own
hardware - another reason why their designs are little known. It is said that
their MGVs have often destroyed well over half of an opposing force before the
other side comes within range of their own weapons. They are notoriously
difficult to destroy.
Japanese MGVs have occasionally made an appearance
during battles between two other nations, usually when their own interests are
somehow at stake. In some rare cases they have appeared and destroyed both
sides of an engagement. The one thing Japan rarely does is interfere in
Californian affairs, but then again California rarely gives Japan reason to do
so. Otherwise all bets are off (so to speak).
Japan could be considered
politically isolated, but a closer sense of the truth is that Japan probably
has little need for close political ties and so does not avail itself of them.
Japanese contact with California seems mostly a result of a surprisingly
sentimental commitment to near-ancient agreements, but that is a very
un-Japanese impression. To the Japanese, their fulfillment of ancient
commitments makes perfect cultural sense.
No order of battle is
available for Japanese MGV units or formations. They appear in varying group
sizes and support ratios and only two vehicles are known - both considered
dangerous.
Japan's tech level is 10. |
