Custom Model 008 Khan
The Khan is a custom mech Zeke Rykiel requested be designed and developed by Galactic Horizon, while its beginnings date back to YE 40 the project was put on hold while the company moved and settled in to their new home out east in the midst of a war.
As a thanks for being so patient during the whole process, in YE 42 when the project finally came to fruition, they offered Zeke a greatly reduced commission fee and Donvan Black handed the access codes over personally. Besides, they'd make back any potential losses when the New Dusk Conclave asked approached the company with the intent to acquire multiple frames based on this design in early YE 43.
About the Armor
The Khan is a high-performance, medium-sized mech made from mostly proprietary parts where those off the open market wouldn’t suffice. It makes use of various technologies to maximize its potential as a high-mobility, combat-capable jack of all trades, highly customizable to fulfill whatever role Zeke needs it to.
Statistics & Performance
Information regarding the owner, manufacturer and designer.
- Class: GH-M5-4D
- Designers: Galactic Horizon
- Manufacturer: Galactic Horizon
- Fielded by: Zeke Rykiel, New Dusk Conclave
Appearance
The Khan was designed to more or less carry the appearance of an upscaled, New Dusk Conclave-style suit of power armour, it is extremely humanoid in appearance and very obviously armoured, with anyone being able to tell at a glance that it is build for combat. Its head is largely featureless save for the a red-glowing surface beneath the very helmet-inspired reinforcing plates.
Covered in reds, blacks and greys the thing is very clearly under the ownership of someone with strong ties to the NDC, with the striking reds providing eye-catching highlights against the more muted main colours. Being a mech capable of FTL-travel the mech is equipped with large, weapon capable wings on flexible armatures.
The Khan’s cockpit is a mix of comfortably padded leather furniture and utilitarian Durandium Alloy control panels. The chair is comfortable enough to sleep in if one needs to though there is also a compact bunk and some climate-controlled storage units surrounding it for all your stowage needs, the bed is big enough to fit two people comfortably if they don’t mind some intimacy.
Mobility
The Khan’s primary mode of transportation are the large Helix Plasma Engines built into its wings alongside an array of smaller ones located at various points on the mech’s hull to assist in precise manoeuvring. Additionally the Khan features fuel-scoops capable of opening up to replenish its Hydrogen reserves on long voyages, provided the user flies close enough to a compatible star, gas-giant or other celestial body.

This section is dedicated to explaining the level of protection provided by the Khan.
Getting In and Out
The thick plating that makes up the Khan’s chest is sealed via a few layers of electromagnetic locks, it splits horizontally and allows the pilot direct access to the cockpit.
Controlling the Khan
Built into the back of the pilot seat is a small port, this port is used in combination with a Aurora Synaptic Controller Interface/Geist Advanced Interfacing Implant/G1-N2 "Geist" Advanced Interfacing Implant 2.0, or similarly equipped neural interface, to control the Khan’s various movements via simple translation of brain-activity into commands for the mechs systems. It does additionally feature a variety of switches, dials, volumetric projectors and toggles that can be physically manipulated if the user so desires. Voice commands are also accepted and custom inputs can be easily implemented.
Systems
The sub-components of the power armour that are not included in the subsections below it will go here.
Armor
The Khan’s imposing composite armour plating is made from a base layer of Madite-C-coated Osmanium for its ability to reform to a certain degree after sustaining damage, over this is the core of the armour, a thick layer of Aegium and finally the surface is a lightweight ceramic with a zylon weave.
The armour also features mounting points designed specifically to host Low Explosive Webbed Delaminating (LEWD) armor cells in key areas.
On top of this, the Khan makes use of a Paladin Barrier System to supplement its physical armour with a strong shielding array.
Camouflage
Specialized vents, heatsinks and emitters allow the Khan to make use of a Electronic Camouflage System to provide a decent degree of both optical and sensory camouflage, while it is imperfect it is far from useless. A small cluster of Honeycomb Fabricators allow the mech to replenish its nanite swarm and fabricate small parts when needed.
Life Support
An array of filters, oxygen tanks and carbon scrubbers based off components from the ERK system are able to provide the small cabin with sufficient oxygen for 7 days5) without external intervention. Mounted to the underside of the pilot’s seat is a modified D.O.M.S auto doc capable of automatically treating any injuries the pilot may have sustained, in addition to this a very capable medical kit is packed into the locker beneath the bunk for self-treatment and treatment of additional personnel should it be needed.
Power Systems
The Khan’s power is supplied by a few banks of plasma cores and capacitors, providing more than adequate electricity to power the mech itself and any power-drawing attachments. The aether cells at the heart of the Honeycomb Fabricators can be used to supplement this and extend the mech’s runtime should its primary power systems be compromised.
Sensors and Communications
An array of MOASS sensors embedded in the mech’s exterior provide a full 360-degree coverage, additionally it features variations of all the standard systems one would expect to find inside a premium, custom mech.
Its sensors include:
- Wide-Band Variable Optical Imaging Array
- Time-Modulated Ultra-Wide Band Radar
- Optical tracking systems in the Khan’s “skin.”
- Quintessent Wave Differentialometer
The Khan can communicate via:
- Voice, via microphone and loudspeaker
- Conventional Radio
- Subspace Radio (FTL)
- Laser Beam
Weapons
Main weapon, secondary weapon, and all other weaponry go here.
Hardpoints
The Khan makes use of Multipurpose Articulated Grip Systems located across its chassis to support various weapons and gear the pilot may wish to mount. They are positioned on the Khan’s wings, its thighs, hips, shoulders and forearms.
Included Equipment
The following is a list of gear included in the Khan upon delivery.
