  ===== History and Background =====  ===== History and Background =====
-The M1 Ashigaru is the first in prospective series of Powered Frames by Origin Industries, designed to be sold to military and para-military groups as a multi-purpose combat platform. Originally intended to be a smaller ground combat system, The design was changed mid-way through, increasing it to it's current size and multi-purpose role. Origin Armor Works finished the Ashigaru in record time, going from an idea in mid YE-30 to becoming reality in early YE-31. Though some concerns were raised during it's design over the lack of an aetheric power source and the use of nano-muscle, these designs were brushed aside when it was shown that the advantages outweighed the risks. The Ashigaru in its current form is a highly effective and capable multi-purpose frame.+The M1 Ashigaru is the first in prospective series of Powered Frames by Origin Industries, designed to be sold to military and para-military groups as a multi-purpose combat platform.

-In keeping with it's role as a heavily armored battle platform, the Ashigaru has two types of shields, electromagnetic and gravitic, layered with each other. Each shield is generated from two tandem generator pairs within the frame. The two shield systems work in concert, allowing the frame to survive large amounts of damage+In keeping with its role as a heavily armored battle platform, the Ashigaru has two types of shields, electromagnetic and gravitic, layered with each other.

 === STL Propulsion === === STL Propulsion ===
-The Ashigaru uses a Nuclear-Thermal Plasma Rocket system, which uses the Plasma generated from it's nuclear fusion reactor to generate thrust, and a secondary gravimetric drive. The main thruster unit is on the Ashigaru's back,and is connected directly to the fusion reactor. The thrusters use electromagnetic to push the plasma out at high speeds. The rear of the Ashigaru's legs are covered with additional thrusters, which are connected to the main reactor through a series of plasma conduits. These secondary thrusters provide additional thrust, and assist in jumping and high-speed movement on the ground. The Gravimetric drive system both generates limited anti-gravity to keep the Ashigaru mobile in terrestrial enviroments, allowing it to hover and use the plasma thrusters to propel itself forward as a sort of secondary movement system; and as a secondary propulsion method, causing the frame to make 'controlled falls' in order to accelerate. As a propulsion method, the gravimetric drive is used to slow down and change the ashigaru's direction, which when combined with the AMBAC system, gives the frame a greater manueverability then it would have without it.+The Ashigaru uses a Nuclear-Thermal Plasma Rocket system, which uses the Plasma generated from its nuclear fusion reactor to generate thrust, and a secondary gravimetric drive.
