-The earliest research into what became the Kirie started in [[timeline:ye_30]] after then [[stararmy:ranks:shosa]] [[characters:yamatai:kage_yaichiro]] was involved in a stealth mission during which he had to don a Power Armor.  His physical size, however, prevented him from using a then-modern Mindy or Kylie.  He was forced to use a Super PHALANX Power Armor which did not have sufficient stealth capabilities for the role in which it was to be used.  He was forced improvise and to act as a diversion due to this, which nearly cost him his life.  This was the second time he was nearly killed by the obsolete power armor’s shortcomings, the first time being in the previous year when the lack of an equipped [[stararmy:equipment:psionic_signal_controller]] in the same Power Armor left him vulnerable to a [[:species:mishhuvurthyar]] psionic assault.+The earliest research into what became the Kirie started in [[timeline:ye_30]] after then [[stararmy:ranks:shosa]] [[characters:yamatai:kage_yaichiro]] was involved in a stealth mission during which he had to don a Power Armor.  His physical size, however, prevented him from using a then-modern Mindy or Kylie.  He was forced to use a Super PHALANX Power Armor which did not have sufficient stealth capabilities for the role in which it was to be used.  He was forced improvise and to act as a diversion due to this, which nearly cost him his life.  This was the second time he was nearly killed by the obsolete power armor’s shortcomings, the first time being in the previous year when the lack of an equipped [[stararmy:equipment:psionic_signal_controller]] in the same Power Armor left him vulnerable to a [[species:mishhuvurthyar:mishhuvurthyar]] psionic assault.
  
 Yaichiro started researching how to make a better Power Armor which could accommodate a pilot of his stature, but also for bottlenecks of the then-current generation of technologies.  He discovered that a key drawback was the pilot itself – the joints of the pilot were contained in the complex joints of the Power Armor and kept the joints from moving too fast lest the pilot’s body take damage.  Loss of a limb or head also had harmful or deadly results, especially in space.  Wishing for a removal of this flaw the Power Armor design, Yaichiro established [[corp:kage:project_thought:project_thought_plan]] to help research the machine – both for political and security reasons as well as to give himself complete creative oversight.  They started from the beginning of Yamataian Power Armor technology, the [[stararmy:equipment:lamia_m1_space_mecha]], which was constructed with mechanical joints and at their target height, and tested high response joints and fully telepathic control systems – the Thought Armor concept.  By the time Yamatai eventually addressed the concerns of height and developed a Power Armor capable of filling Yaichiro’s original requirements, the project had transformed into a full blown optimization program. Yaichiro started researching how to make a better Power Armor which could accommodate a pilot of his stature, but also for bottlenecks of the then-current generation of technologies.  He discovered that a key drawback was the pilot itself – the joints of the pilot were contained in the complex joints of the Power Armor and kept the joints from moving too fast lest the pilot’s body take damage.  Loss of a limb or head also had harmful or deadly results, especially in space.  Wishing for a removal of this flaw the Power Armor design, Yaichiro established [[corp:kage:project_thought:project_thought_plan]] to help research the machine – both for political and security reasons as well as to give himself complete creative oversight.  They started from the beginning of Yamataian Power Armor technology, the [[stararmy:equipment:lamia_m1_space_mecha]], which was constructed with mechanical joints and at their target height, and tested high response joints and fully telepathic control systems – the Thought Armor concept.  By the time Yamatai eventually addressed the concerns of height and developed a Power Armor capable of filling Yaichiro’s original requirements, the project had transformed into a full blown optimization program.
