PRNI-972 Bethesda

The PRNI-972 Bethesda (aka Bethesda) is a mass produced assault mobile suit used by Praetoriani.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Bethesda fulfils the role of a ranged assault unit, sacrificing mobility for heavier firepower and armour. Unlike the Reiter and Cuirassier units, the Bethesda features a simplified design, allowing for mass production and for the Bethesda to become a major component of Praetoriani's arsenal. As an assault machine, the Bethesda features thicker armour plating and a modular loadout system, allowing for frontline combat while retaining a versatile role, ranging from close range combat to long range support fire.

Unlike most of Praetoriani's mobile suits, the Bethesda does not possess high mobility and is incapable of unassisted flight. However, to offset this flaw the Bethesda can be equipped with a Defence Pylon, a large SiDE field generator which can be fitted on the back on the suit and deployed to protect a stationary location. Multiple pylons can be used within proximity of each other to boost the field strength and size and is a key tool in defending high-priority locations.
