However, reflecting upon the success of the Soldier Series in the home galaxy, it was decided that the project should be commercialized while also retaining clan exclusive models with increased design spirits. Inspired by human infantrymen of old Earth combined with a need for shielding, the Steadfast Soldier is equiped with arm mounted energy shield and a custom luminar rifle with detachable bayonet. Caple of acting as mobile fortfied gun formation or a stationary light fortress. Capable of closing the gap in vast battlefields of land and space when shields linked are linked together and charging the enemy at closer ranges. Each formation induces a different design Spirit to assist in battle. While stationary or defending the Solemn Guardian holds the line or soldiers together while also maintaining morale. When advancing and charging Bravo and Zeigra are induced to inspire the soldiers and Zeigra to strike fear into the enemies. In clan exclusive models, Xilanxo and Lucky are integrated to assist in the utilization of the special ability "Phalanx Energy Shield Link", creating a unified shield and creating an environment to able to work together efficiently, respectively. The Steadfast Soldier can be utilized on both land and space to create fortfied positions, advancing parties and applied to close combat applications in an initial clash. A great option for a general purpose medium mech which can be wielded by even low ranking mech pilots due to its simple function, characterized by 3 main roles stationary rifleman, shielded fortification and infantry bayonet charge. Each with specialized supporting design spirits. Should the third class market be interested, the energy shield can be replaced with a standard third class alloy shield. Thank you for creating one of the greatest sci-fi novels to date.

Gloriana couldn't get rid of all of her worries. "Formula S-635006-CIN was not the best gene package on offer. We could have gone for a newer and higher-quality offering."

"Hahahahahahaha!" The dark woman laughed. "That is funny! Who told you that I have to fight fair? The worst mistake you ever made was to leave your decrepit little temple. You could have avoided the worst if you stayed away from the Nyxian Gap, but now that you have entered my territory, you have literally fallen into the palm of my hand! What a Holy Daughter you are! I just knew you would underestimate the perils of my new homeground!"

In fact, Ves just came up with an idea on how he might tie a companion spirit to mechs. If he was able to flesh out this idea, he might be able to empower Joshua even further and give him one more tool that could help him achieve victory!

Couldn't the mech ride something like a "horse" or a small ship instead of relying on its own power, or even single use boosters?
"The space knight you've projected is larger and thicker than the Aurora Titan design. Are we increasing the Shield of Samar's weight class?"

"Planets are life." Matriarch Erexi stated. "The globes where many different forms of life have emerged are natural incubators of life and existence. Without planets, there would be no stable, protected habitats where large and complex forms of eukaryotes have evolved throughout the history of every galaxy. Humanity has emerged from Old Earth, which I once had the pleasure of touring on the most defining pilgrimage of my life. Stepping foot on the ancestral planet of our species is an unforgettable experience. I pity you for entering the Red Ocean so soon. The introduction of beyonder gate technology has made traveling to our ancestral Sol System faster and more convenient than ever, but the cost of traveling there from our current location is too prohibitive."
