[b]Backstory:[/b]

SV2 doctrine has Patlabor squads deploy in teams of 3: one forward, one heavy weapons, and one support Labor. This was originally accomplished by assigning dedicated role Labors to each squad. However this tends to be expensive, both in terms of equipment and personnel. Since each Labor handles differently, it is not feasible to have standardized training systems, nor can pilots easially change from one role to another.

To mitigate this, the JSDF is currently trial testing 3 of the new Shinohara Heavy Industries AV-98 Ingrams. The Ingrams offer a much higher degree of modularity then previous JSDF Labors, so pilots can easially be trained on all 3 roles, while still focusing on their assigned one. However, one of the downsides of the project is also one of it's strengths: Each Ingram slowly adjusts the control schemes based on how each pilot moves in order to allow for faster response. Each pilot's data gets saved onto a disk which is carried from Ingram to Ingram. However if the disk gets lost, stolen, or damaged, then the machine must completly relearn the controls. It's even worse if the Ingram gets loaded with the wrong pilot's data.
[b]AV-98 Ingram Unit 1[/b]

[b]Armor Material:[/b] fiber reinforced plastic and carbon fiber reinforced material (aluminum steel)
[b]Height:[/b] 8.02 meters
[b]Weight:[/b] 6.62 tons
[b]Pilot(s):[/b] Noa Izumi
[b]Creator(s):[/b] Shinohara Heavy Industries


[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Reactive Flak Jacket:[/b] To boost the Ingram's protection, they wear jackets of reactive material. Reactive armor explodes when penetrated, which reduces the force of incoming attacks.
[b]Riot Shield:[/b] Since Unit 1 is the front-line unit, it is equipped with a larger shield then the others.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]Anti-Labor Stun Baton:[/b] A collapsible baton, stored in the Ingram's shield. It emits a low-powered EM signal that disrupts the systems of a Labor it hit temporarily.
[b]37mm Revolver Cannon:[/b] While not technically a revolver or a cannon, this pistol shaped weapon is the Ingram's backup sidearm.
[b]44mm Assault Rifle:[/b] A rapid-firing rifle. The Ingram's main weapon.
[b]Anti-Labor Grenades:[/b] Standard grenades.
[b]TOW Anti-Tank Missile Launcher:[/b] A bazooka-like launcher with a 3 round clip. It fires powerful missiles designed to destroy tanks.


[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

While the AV-98s used by SV2 use the same frame design, the equipment on each one is different based on their role. As the forward of SV2's formation, Noa is equipped with the widest range of weapons, as well as a heavy riot shield to deflect attacks away from herself and the other Ingrams.


[b]AV-98 Ingram Unit 2[/b]

[b]Armor Material:[/b] fiber reinforced plastic and carbon fiber reinforced material (aluminum steel)
[b]Height:[/b] 8.02 meters
[b]Weight:[/b] 6.62 tons
[b]Pilot(s):[/b] Isao Ota
[b]Creator(s):[/b] Shinohara Heavy Industries


[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Reactive Flak Jacket:[/b] To boost the Ingram's protection, they wear jackets of reactive material. Reactive armor explodes when penetrated, which reduces the force of incoming attacks.
[b]Shield:[/b] The standard equipment of the AV-98 includes a small shield on the left arm to help deflect some attacks.


[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]Anti-Labor Stun Baton:[/b] A collapsible baton, stored in the Ingram's shield. It emits a low-powered EM signal that disrupts the systems of a Labor it hit temporarily.
[b]37mm Revolver Cannon:[/b] While not technically a revolver or a cannon, this pistol shaped weapon is the Ingram's backup sidearm.
[b]90mm Auto-Shotgun:[/b] Instead of a rifle, unit 2's main weapon is a rapid-fire shotgun for close range combat.
[b]66mm Chaingun:[/b] While not part of SV2's standard loadout, Ota managed to convince the mechanics to scrounge up a chaingun to [s]fulfill his gun-crazed fantasies[/s] augment SV2's firepower.
[b]Anti-Labor Grenades:[/b] Standard grenades.
[b]105mm Mortar:[/b] A rear mounted mortar for long range bombardment.



[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

While the AV-98s used by SV2 use the same frame design, the equipment on each one is different based on their role. Piloted by the gun-nut Ota, Unit 2 provides fire support with the heavier weapons in SV2's arsenal.
[b]AV-98 Ingram Unit 3[/b]

[b]Armor Material:[/b] fiber reinforced plastic and carbon fiber reinforced material (aluminum steel)
[b]Height:[/b] 8.02 meters
[b]Weight:[/b] 6.62 tons
[b]Pilot(s):[/b] Kanuka Clancy
[b]Creator(s):[/b] Shinohara Heavy Industries


[b]Ability Data[/b]

[b]Reactive Flak Jacket:[/b] To boost the Ingram's protection, they wear jackets of reactive material. Reactive armor explodes when penetrated, which reduces the force of incoming attacks.
[b]Shield:[/b] The standard equipment of the AV-98 includes a small shield on the left arm to help deflect some attacks.
[b]Enhanced Sensors:[/b] Unit 3's equipment includes enhanced sensors for coordinating SV2's movements and attacks. However, the system can't be active while the unit's ECM equipment is also activated.
[b]ECM:[/b] Unit 3's equipment includes advanced sensor jamming systems, to defeat enemy missiles and keep SV2's position hidden from enemy sensors. However, the system can't be active while the unit's own sensors are also activated.

[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

While the AV-98s used by SV2 use the same frame design, the equipment on each one is different based on their role. Unit 3 is designed to be the rear support unit, using it's advanced sensors and ECM to find and track enemies, while also keeping SV2 hidden from enemy sensors. The unit is piloted by Kanuka, an exchange officer from the US who is temporarially attached to SV2.
