Battle Unit Omega
From Handbook of the Union Universe
Was inspired by lyrics from Revelations a song by Dragonforce
‘Through the dark night through the rain
Fighting machine we are risen again
Striving forever more
We will survive’
I love Role-playing with BUO, his sheer coldness and arrogance in his beliefs are fun to play around with, even in his moment of theological awakening he quickly established his new beliefs as the ultimate truth, knowing now that what he used to believe was nothing but mistakes made by inferior biological entities.

Tech Report Longbow: Re: Combat Machine
From what we can tell these machines are steam powered but get this they are Nemesis make. They use instead a device that folds space allowing for the storage of galleons of water in a space little over twelve inches by six inches in size. This storage method also causes such pressure that the water is boiled without any energy source. If we can crack this imagine the possibilities.
Okay for the rest of it.
Composition of the machines armour mostly an Impervium and titanium alloy, I can see why it took so long for you guys to take one down. Some basic shielding devices that run on power generated by the steam engine.
Systems seem to be designed for combat I’d estimate a mid to high grade superhuman strength rating, maybe higher some of the gears seem to be set to increase this rating exponentionaly for limited times.
If you encounter more of these try to aim for the legs first as that appears to be where the alloy armour has not been used.

Man these things keep coming set up teleport suppressers now! ~ Longbow Field Commander
[edit] Vulnerabilities
Due to the nature of its AI setup Frames can often be 'suprised' by unexpected actions in combat.
[edit] Equipment
Occasionaly known to use inbuilt WMDs.
[edit] Character History
Ancient machine of religious war, deactivated when in a different dimension the war ended with the extinction of organic life.
Taken from the dead planet by 'Tomb Jumpers' a group who specialise in taking technology and artefacts from dead worlds for sale on the black market.
Eventually bought and reactivated by Professor Joe Thompson a former world war two hero known as Gear Guard.
Killed Gear Guard moments after reactivation, acting on prior commands from the command units of Battle Unit Omega.
Deactivated after multiple fatalities by a Longbow Assault Squad.
Sent for dismantling and investigation by D.A.T.A.
Unable to communicate with the command units single soldier A.I was activated.
Fatalities this time in a D.A.T.A lab.
Regarded as a sentient machine when A.I was detected and sent to the Zig.
Escaped from Zig during Arachnos assault.
Eventually joined the Terra Liberation front though reasons are unknown.
Was informed that emotions were a strength and lacking them would mean its downfall.
Kidnapped a child and cyberneticaly enhanced her to add to the machine overmind, this began a series of events that lead to the destruction of the machine.
Destroyed by TLF member Rip Fang.
Unknown how much of the machines code exists in its successor.
[edit] Trivia
After A.I upgrades gained the ability to control multiple combat Frames.
If you ever meet one of the Battle Unit Omega Frames there are liekly to be five or six others active elsewhere.
The situation of Battle Unit Omegas home version of Earth is mentioned in the following extract from Alonso The Sages 'Lectures on travelling dimensions'
‘Magic and Science. Fire and Ice.
Perhaps the biggest danger to the magic community is both our separation and in some cases disdain for the natural sciences. In so many worlds we’ve seen the effects of this separation lead to destruction, sometimes through the actions of one side against the other and in some cases through inaction where one side does not help the other and in the end both sides die out.
The case of Earth two four nine seven, oh how I hate that we have to number parallel worlds, but I suppose you can only name so many worlds, World where the Nazis won the great war, before you start to get confused.
Now as any of you who attended my lecture on the world visitation process, which would be all of you since it is required for all M.A.G.I students would know, that on a dead world the first thing to do is locate records that show what happened.
Luckily on this planet we found many such records, from two different points of view no less. Now these records were from two completely different groups. The first set we found told of an Empire of Magic, worshippers of a goddess called Mystire who valued natural chaos and magic above all. These records were easy to find as they were stored within the building we first portaled into. Luck was with us this time, sometimes it is days before we find such records and as you may recall from my lectures on planet killing diseases, you can’t go home until your sure your not infected with what killed the planet.
Luckily for us it wasn’t a zombie plague or killer form of whooping cough that killed this world but a war. Now the astounding thing about this war was the length it lasted, this was no rapid planet killing war this lasted just over a millennium. Well to be more accurate it last one thousand and six years but that doesn’t sound half as good as the millennium war now does it?
As we left the great library the first thing that struck me was how ruined the city looked the war had apparently ended six hundred years ago but these ruins looked thousands of years old. The second thing that struck me was the sky, burned by nuclear fire and pure magic it was a rich umber in colour.
After several days of travel we saw a great battlefield countless black armored figures were locked in unmoving combat with what appeared to be dolls. Some of my companions wanted to investigate the doll like warriors for to be truthful they pulled at the magic within us. But resolutely I reminded them of the second rule of world investigation, if you don’t know what it does do not touch it, particularly when it makes you want to touch it.
After several more days of travel we approached the capital city of the other empire spoken of in the records we had found.
This empire was made up of people who had worshiped Sul Dar the god of order and science. Studying records we had found there we began to piece together what had killed off this world. Apparently due to the natures of their two gods both empires had always mistrusted each other, but open warfare had never occurred that is until one day a princess of the Sul Dar empire and a prince of the Mystire empire went missing. Now given the records one would imagine either a Romeo and Juliet situation or the involvement of a third party. However each Empire blamed the other and war erupted.
One suspects this was used as a chance for a crusade by each God since the war did not end even when the Prince and Princess would have been centuries dead.
After about four hundred years with casualties on both sides in the billions each empire lacking man power began to use none human fighters. For the empire of Mystire these were called Dolls, in our terms these would be Golems. The empire of Sul Dar began to mass produce fighting robots naming each army of them a Battle Unit; these armies of machines were each made up of different classes of robots.
The war waged on for centuries more each side still evenly matched until at the one thousand year mark a planetary alignment boosted the natural flow of magic for want of a better word supercharging the Doll soldiers, rapidly the Battle Units were destroyed. Seemingly the war would end in a few years.
Seeing this forces of the Sul Dar unleashed their ultimate army the Battle Unit Omega before it was fully complete. Seemingly it was destroyed and in defeat they surrendered and were absorbed into the Mystire Empire.
But at the point of destruction the Alpha class of the Omega battle Unit had transferred their Ai to another location and began to rebuild their forces. Several years after the end of the war they would return.
The Alpha class having no commands in the event of the loss of the war saw only that the Mystire empire were enemies and targeted both their intended target and the former people of the Sul Dar empire seeing only that they were subjects of the Mystire empire now. A countless wave of Sigma class foot soldiers and Theta and Gamma class swarmed cities slaughtering all they found. It was when both sides tried to stop them that the final robot class of Battle Unit Omega was released. The titan Omega class. This mile tall robot was armed with a doomsday weapon called the Chronal radiation gun, when fired it would cause an area of space to be enclosed and time to rapidly pass. It was this that had caused the oddness of the ruins we had encountered; they looked tens of thousands of years old because in some cases ten thousand years had passed in a single second.
Records spoke of one final attempt to defeat this army of machines. But it failed. With the battle ‘won’ the machines shut down.
Satisfied I returned home, my companions wanting to see what relics could be recovered. It was then that they forgot rule two, and activated a Doll soldier within seconds the machine army returned to life and slaughtered them.
Due to this Earth 2497 has been deemed a sealed world and all relics there are considered contraband. Though I doubt that will stop the ghoulish vultures that raid worlds for profit.
