Yoru no Tenshi 'Tenshi II' Light Mechanized Power Armor

A Light Mechanized Power Armor developed by Yugumo Fleetworks based on the design of the original Tenshi no Yoru 'Tenshi' Light Mechanized Power Armor.

Providing corporate and planetary security on the frontier in a postwar period is fraught with unique challenges. In YE 43, the leadership of the Yugumo Keisatsu and Yugumo Corporate Fleet notified Yugumo Fleetworks of their need for a flexible power armor suited to the needs of corporate security forces and planetary government security contractors, and it was decided the most economical and efficient path forward was to update the existing power armor originally developed for the United Outer Colonies Peacekeeping Forces in YE 30 with the new mission in mind.

The development and introduction of the Tenshi II using only in-house developed and manufactured technology solved two problems for Yugumo Corporation: both its internal security needs, and the need to display its prowess in the civilian security sector for the open market. Yugumo Corporation was able to reduce its reliance on external vendors for its own needs, as well as enter the lucrative, growing private security market.

The Tenshi II is designed for corporate security, and is lightweight, modular, agile, and easy to train pilots.

Its appearance is clearly based on, while still trying to remain distinct from, the famous Mindy that its predecessor was designed to replace. The slender, agile-seeming Tenshi II's look lives up to it's namesake Yoru no Tenshi (Yamataigo (邪馬台語) 夜の天使 ) “Angel of the Night” with its nacelles, arcing gracefully from its back like wings, that bear the unit's Hoshi III Multi-Stage Turbo Plasma Drives and Mizu II Amadare Power Armor CDD/CFS. Its highly streamlined appearance is reminiscent of a Zentai suit, featureless and sleek. Clearly only lightly armored, the Tenshi adds very little bulk to the humanoid silhouette of its pilot.

The armor is designed to be lightweight, modular, easily manufactured, and easy to train new recruits to use. It is agile, low-signature, and durable enough to increase operator survivability far above conventionally-armored security forces.

In its civilian-market version, this is not an armor designed for protracted military-on-military campaigns. It is designed for corporate security and planetary defense contractors to handle criminal activity and piracy, not to wage war. As such, the civilian model is not armed, armored, or otherwise equipped for nation-state-level conflicts.

A Mizu II Series - Amadare CDD provides both CDD and CFS for FTL propulsion and conformal barrier shielding. Sublight propulsion is provided by a Hoshi III Series Multi-Stage Turbo Plasma Drive. Backup propulsion and supplemental maneuvering engines are provided by the Plasma Projection System. A standard gravity manipulation/internal control system based around the Scalable Graviton Beam Projector allows for low-speed atmospheric and microgravity flight. The Tenshi is also equipped with a Yumeoibito-Mini Power Armor Hyperspace Fold Drive.

The armor may be optionally equipped with the MIARA Ground Mobility System system to increase its ground maneuverability, the Sorakagami Aerospace Operations Suite for aerospace performance, or the Umikagami Subsurface Operations Suite for underwater mobility.

• Ground Speed (Running): 45km/h
• Ground Speed (Hovering): 100km/h
• Max. Atmospheric Speed: Mach 1.7
• Max. Sublight: 0.300c
• Continuum Distortion Drive: 7.5c
• Hyperspace Fold Drive: 0.25 ly/m

With the Umikagami Subsurface Operations Suite, the armor gains significant underwater mobility. Although some parts of this system are installed as integral to the armor, in order to be fully functional, removable components must be installed in the each of the shoulder, dorsal, waist, and leg hardpoints.

The Tenshi II uses the most common method of wearing and removing the armor, such as typified by the Ke-M2-4 Series "Mindy" Armor. The armor is intended to be worn over a special-purpose power armor pilot's bodysuit, and was developed specifically with the RHI Type 43 "Megumi" Environmental Skinsuit.

Like the Mindy, there is a back “collar” piece for hanging them on an armor rack.

To don the armor, the center plates at the front of the armor's chest and abdomen angle forwards and downward and the user enters feet-first through the armor's chest area. Then the user can close up the suit and put on the helmet.

To doff the armor, first the helmet is removed, then the chest is opened and the pilot should lean as far forward as possible and free their arms from the armor's arms. Next the pilot can pull themselves up and out of the armor.

The Tenshi II connects to its pilot by Direct Neural Interface using the SQUID system provided by the KAIMON interface.

All components used in the Tenshi II are current Yugumo Corporation standard systems.

The spaceframe and armor plating is based on the older Shouri Multi-layer Hull and Frame Construct Type 1B Assembly, primarily made of lightweight Durandium Alloy. It is enhanced with an inner layer made of layers of Dataweave sandwiched between Kinugoshi-ko, with an innermost lining of Self-Regenerating Fabric Coating (SRFC) allowing for both fabric repair and wound patching, while still capable of wicking sweat.

The Tenshi II's outer shell is impregnated with Omnihue allowing the pilot or onboard KAIMON AI to change the color of the surface. This provides integrated optical camouflage, high visibility mode, or corporate livery, without repainting. Tenshi II based on Yugumo Corporation facilities are typically set for MYPAT.

The pilot of a Tenshi II is supported by a Yugumo Standard Life Support System.

The Tenshi II uses a Kaminari Quantum Foam Generator for power.

• Backup Battery Pack: Provides basic life support, communications, and propulsion functions in the event of primary power failure for up to 12 hours.

The Tenshi II is equipped with the KAIMON-Passage power armor suite with its included communications and sensor systems. It also has the uplink and PANTHEON/SYNC connect module.

The Tenshi II has a cutting-edge Solid Volumetrics projection system with emitters in several places around its chassis. It can project volumetric displays for supplemental interactions with KAIMON or other computers, or to allow others the same. It can also use this system to project holographic or solid camouflage or disguises, or to create simple, ad-hoc hand tools, freeing them of the need to carry basic tool kits.

The Scalable Graviton Beam Projector system on the rear of the power armor used for flight can also be used to tow other armors.

The Tenshi II's integrated weapons system is its Plasma Projection System, but it is not usable without an emitter. Emitters may be placed on hardpoints, and come in two sizes. The Plasma Cannon mounts to a shoulder mount, and the Plasma Gun mounts to the forearm.

• Plasma Gun - Damage Rating (Version 3) Tier 3 (Heavy Anti-Personnel), 500KS per emitter
• Plasma Cannon - Damage Rating (Version 3) Tier 6 (Heavy Anti-Armor), 1500KS per emitter

A Mizu II Series - Amadare CDD provides both CDD and CFS for FTL propulsion and conformal barrier shielding. Sublight propulsion is provided by a Hoshi III Series Multi-Stage Turbo Plasma Drive, and backup propulsion is provided by the Plasma Projection System.

The Star Army of Yamatai adopted a milspec variant of the armor, the Yu-M1-2B Series "Molly" Light Mechanized Power Armor, in YE 45.

Anticipating the 5-year review of the Ke-M2-4 Series "Mindy" Armor coming up in YE 43, Yugumo Fleetworks developed a prototype of a variant of the Tenshi II for marketing to the Star Army of Yamatai. It is powered by military-grade versions of the same systems used in the civilian variant. The nomenclature for this variant is Yu-M1-2S. It differs as follows:

• Power is provided by a NO-M1-G3501 Aether Generator.
• Primary sublight drive system is a Multi-Stage Turbo Aether Plasma Drive.
• The integrated electronics systems runs Armor Integrated Electronics System (AIES).
• The life support system is augmented by a Ke-M2-F4300 Hemosynthetic Interior Insert.
• The armor features the Mindy's Ke-M2-E3801 Photonics Array.
• The armor is equipped with a Psionic Signal Controller.
• Mounting hardpoints are compatible with Mindy Accessories without adapters.
• Any weapon taking advantage of the onboard Plasma Projection System such as an attached Plasma Gun or Plasma Cannon will have an additional mode selection to become an Aether Plasma weapon.

Due to the military-grade systems, the SAoY Variant is much faster and more nimble than the civilian-market one. With its lightweight armor and emphasis on speed, it is even faster than a Mindy 4.

• Ground Speed (Running): ~100 km/h
• Ground Speed (Boost Skating via MIARA Ground Mobility System): ~500 km/h
• Maximum Atmospheric Speed (Hovering via Anti-Gravity System): 1000 km/h
• Maximum Atmospheric Speed (Via TAP Drives and ICFS): Mach 5
• Maximum Sublight Speed (Via TAP Drives and ICFS): 0.425c
• ICFS FTL: 10c
• Yumeoibito - Mini Hyperspace Fold Drive: 131,490c (0.25 ly/m)²⁾
