 The "Sylph" Ke-M4 series was a mecha used by the [[stararmy:start]] from [[timeline:ye_29]] to [[timeline:ye_33]]. It was designed as a planetary operations mecha and later was used as a scout mecha. As the equivalent of a powered infantry armor, it was never popular, being overshadowed by the [[stararmy:equipment:daisy_m6_infantry_power_armor|M6 "Daisy"]] that was released just months after the Sylph. The "Sylph" Ke-M4 series was a mecha used by the [[stararmy:start]] from [[timeline:ye_29]] to [[timeline:ye_33]].

 Initially designed to be the next in a line of light mecha, the Sylph was forced back onto the drawing board by rivaling models - the end result was a power-armor-sized, high performance mecha for mini-Nekovalkyrja that drastically outstripped rivaling designs, which also inadvertently ensured it would not be widely used due to high cost. Initially designed to be the next in a line of light mecha, the Sylph was forced back onto the drawing board by rivaling models - the end result was a power-armor-sized, high performance mecha for mini-Nekovalkyrja that drastically outstripped rivaling designs, which also inadvertently ensured it would not be widely used due to high cost.

Due to this commonality of design, they have similar fire modes to their handheld cousins and can be accessed through the AIES directly for use with its fire control systems. These are integrated directly into the forearms, and as a result, fire through the palm in each hand. The basic integrated weapon of the Sylph, the projectors are an advanced variants of the [[stararmy:weapons:nekovalkyrja_service_pistol_type_28|Type 28 NSP]] and [[stararmy:weapons:nekovalkyrja_submachinegun_type_28|Type 28 NSMG]].

 The Sylph's four fairy-like winglets are actually detachable attack drones. Each drone has its own gravimetric propulsion unit which typically is used to boost the sublight speed of the Sylph. However, these can be used separately when deploying the drones; when in use, they match the default speed and velocity of the power armor. Self-powered with a battery which can be sustained by the M4's CFS, each assault drone is armed with a rapid-fire projected energy cannon. The Sylph's four fairy-like winglets are actually detachable attack drones.
