SSaA2-FA71 "Apophis"

Solasia Support Attack Auracore Armor Falcon-71 "Apophis" Heavy Sniper 'Mech

Designed by and commissioned for Yuri Jade, the Apophis model excels in both long- and short-range combat. With a powerful passive sensor suite and unsurpassed stealth capabilities, as well as the ability to deal out serious harm to any target that is not over the horizon, the Apophis excels in the role of sniper, but is more than capable of entering the fray and giving as good as it gets, and its thick armor plating helps ensure it can get back out again. The main problems the Apophis faces are its consistent troubles with headstrong astral symbiotes and the fact that the standard design only features energy weapons. The original design was slower than an average 'Mech, but underwent a redesign when Yuri realized that the horizon is only about 8 miles away.

Its head appears to be that of a cobra, with the hood coming slightly down the shoulders. When the Apophis is visible, it is primarily charcoal-colored with red accents. It features two Heavy Blasters, one mounted on either arm behind the hand, and two Heavy Strike Screamers, mounted in the left and right torso.

Features

The Apophis features a 100-percent analog ejection system, which will function even if there is a power or electrical failure aboard.

The personality core aboard the Apophis is located in the rear of the cockpit, and in the event of an ejection the personality core will also be ejected.

The cockpit of the Apophis is linked to a drink machine and stereo.

The Apophis comes standard with an Alpha Strike, whick is a linkage of all weapons systems on board, enabling the pilot to fire all of his guns at once. (Exploding into space is optional.)
