GNR-21 Beosos "Beowulf"

The Beowulf was the last Battlearmour designed by the Gro-Nak Empire. While produced only in small numbers, it was commonly regarded as far ahead of its time. Despite its age, the craft is capable of going toe-to-toe with battlesuits produced more than a century later.

History A high quality Gro-Nak battle armour that made an appearance near the end of the first Gro-Nak War. For its era it was an extremely advanced battlesuit, leading to the common belief that if the Gro-Nak had been able to go through with their plans to mass-produce the “Beosos”, the Gro-Nak would have won the war. The nickname comes from the Battle Armour’s name’s similarity to an ancient human play by the name “Beowulf”.

Technical Data: The most noticeable point of its design is its similarity to human-made battlesuits. Strangely, from a casual glance one can even compare its design to the Vanguard units of today. This change in design was likely due to the exposure to human culture and mechanical designs, which influenced the designer to try new things. Strategically, the suit is designed to fit almost every role on the battlefield, though is aided by stealth for the most part. Featuring daggers for stealth attacks, the powerful Fuel-Rod Carbines for anti-armour, plasma swords for standard melee, and an extending plasma cannon for long-range combat. The Beowulf was the most feared Gro-Nak battle armour ever to be fielded. Usage: Only 100 Beowulf units were ever constructed, and as top-of-the-line models were given to 100 of the Gro-Nak Empire’s best aces. After the war, the remaining Beowulf’s (at an estimated total of 90) were passed down in typical Gro-Nak tradition to their descendants. Most of these descendants appear to have retreated to the Gro-Nak Dyson Net, as they have a reported 83 Beowulf models. Ace pilot Hagado’Gihan apparently turned his Beowulf into a life-support system and melded himself to his machine, ensuring that he would live on to fight against humankind. Trivia
