Fraggment- Quasi (old)

QUASIMODO

Nick name for the Main Battle Suit (MBS) of the United Stars of the Galaxies-

Fielded by United Stars Marines and Union Navy.

(Union Army uses a different System Family)

Official designation : SII-MBS KHAN Mark 39.2 (current 5020 version)

The first SII Khan Mark 1.0 was developed and deployed during the Fourth Galactic War as a replacement of the previous used Fat-Man and Excalibur main battle suits (Enroe and De Noir). While the Fat Man and the Excalibur were reliable and trusted systems, they weren't simply adequate for Marines to take on Y'All troops during planetary infantry engagements.

Most Union civilizations had not put any emphasis on Infantry equipment as most civilizations no longer saw the need for standing armies and infantry engagements in Galactic wars.

Terrans and Pan Sarans (the Pertharians, Nul and Y'All) were notable exceptions.

Terrans in particular (With Admiral Stahl the driving Force in this development) carried the Concept of Marines into space and few other civilizations put such enormous emphasis on Orbital Infantry assaults on planet sized objectives. No other known civilization had the idea to use Infantry in Deep Space ship to ship combat on a scale the Terrans did from early on.

Terrans demanded and developed cutting edge Infantry equipment from the finest Battle Robots, Armor and Infantry Vehicles to Suits and Weapons.

However the Y'All coming into the Galaxy did exactly the same thing and had equal or better equipment and superior numbers.

The equation changed with the introduction of the SII Kahn Battle Suits and they became the quintessential trademark of Union Marines.
