 Each WIND Pack, when equipped, changes the appearance of the armor: the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:wind_packs#scirocco_pack|Scirocco]] adds a pair of rigid airfoil wings ending in vertical winglets, each wing with a pylon holding a pair of missiles while the backpack portion has two flexible thrusters for propulsion; the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:wind_packs#mistral_pack|Mistral Pack]] adds a larger backpack with a single addition thruster pointed downwards, a left shoulder pod containing more missiles, and a right shoulder pod with a chaingun; the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:wind_packs#ostro_pack|Ostro]] simply adds a backpack that serves mostly as a mounting point for the two mass drivers that fold above the shoulder, and the two that fold under the arms. Each WIND Pack, when equipped, changes the appearance of the armor: the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:wind_packs#scirocco_pack|Scirocco]] adds a pair of rigid airfoil wings ending in vertical winglets, each wing with a pylon holding a pair of missiles while the backpack portion has two flexible thrusters for propulsion; the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:wind_packs#mistral_pack|Mistral Pack]] adds a larger backpack with a single addition thruster pointed downwards, a left shoulder pod containing more missiles, and a right shoulder pod with a chaingun; the [[faction:nepleslia:equipment:wind_packs#ostro_pack|Ostro]] simply adds a backpack that serves mostly as a mounting point for the two mass drivers that fold above the shoulder, and the two that fold under the arms.

-The Slayer was developed in mid [[timeline:ye_41]] after a design study in [[timeline:ye_40]] in the face of looming war with the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia. Faced with the prospect of facing a peer enemy who unlike the [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:sfrarabla_mishhuvurthyar_xhrafuklurp|SMX]] and [[faction:mishhuvurthyar:nmx|NMX]] or even the [[faction:reds:start]] would deploy individual units with a focus on quality rather than quantity or subterfuge, it was thought that there would be a need for a unit. In a way, this design study called for an armorsuit with a similar role to Yamatai's [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m7_sarah_armor]] or [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m3_kylie_anti-armor_power_armor]].+The Slayer was developed in mid [[timeline:ye_41]] after a design study in [[timeline:ye_40]] in the face of looming war with the Interstellar Kingdom of Kuvexia.

 The Slayer was the winning design concept out of that study, and came from a surprising source: a marine corporal named [[characters:nepleslia:menelik_berhane]] put forwards a rough outline for a Power Armor intended to compliment the existing quartet of Nepleslian armorsuits. Of course, being only an amateur engineer at best who had some good ideas, it was up to a team from NAM Aerotech to take rough parameters and performance outlines and make them into a working model. The result of this process was the finished -1a model of the Slayer. The Slayer was the winning design concept out of that study, and came from a surprising source: a marine corporal named [[characters:nepleslia:menelik_berhane]] put forwards a rough outline for a Power Armor intended to compliment the existing quartet of Nepleslian armorsuits.
