[b]Weapon Data[/b]

[b]60mm CIWS:[/b] Shoulder mounted vulcans for anti-personnel and anti-missile use.
[b]Energy Saber:[/b] A standard issue MGME energy saber.
[b]Energy Pistol:[/b] A standard issue MGME energy pistol.
[b]Anti-Armor Bazooka:[/b] A heavy bazooka that fires rounds with a special "shaped charge" warhead, intended to be more effective against buildings or entrenched armour.
[b]75mm Chaingun:[/b] A chaingun with a high rate of fire, for providing covering fire.
[b]Artillery Missiles:[/b] One of the support packs available to the Assault Matey. Artillery missiles explode above the target area, covering it with shrapnel and cluster bombs. Because of the secondary propellent, artillery missiles are able to hit targets further away, with higher accuracy. However, the missiles are large, so Assault Mateys can only carry 2 of them.
[b]Plasma Artillery:[/b] One of the support packs available to the Assault Matey. Plasma artillery cannons fire balls of plasma energy incased in magnetic "shells", which release on impact, spreading the plasma around the impact area. These cannons are capable of a high degree of damage, but have a very high power requirement. Because of this, the cannons use precharged cartridges which are expended after use. The range of the plasma is nowhere near as far as the missiles, especially since the magnetic containment field has a limited lifespan before it dissipates.
[b]Anti-Armor Grenade Launcher:[/b] One of the support packs available to the Assault Matey. The launcher fires grenades that are highly effective against entrenched positions, but has a much shorter range then the other support packs. However it is also able to carry more rounds.


[b]Technical and Historical Notes[/b]

The rarest of the MGME mass production units, Assault Mateys were usually deployed in small numbers to provide artillery support. Normally found in the rear lines, though they had equipment loadouts to provide direct support on the front lines. The Assault Matey was built with a replacable back mounting rack, allowing it to equip different weapons based on the mission required.

The MRC managed to recover a number of Assault Mateys, however the production lines were destroyed beyond repair. Because of this, they treat the Assaults with the utmost of care, keeping them as far behind the front lines as possible.
