-====== M10 HELGA Core ======
-First introduced in [[calendar:ye_37]] after years of delays, the HELGA (short for **H**igh-**E**nergy **L**aser **G**unnery **A**rmor) is a core unit intended for the [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m10_modular_combat_armor_system]], with the purpose of granting [[:species:kodians|Kodian]] soldiers in the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai]] the ability to utilize the Army's [[stararmy:equipment:mcas:accessories|Powered Armor accessories]]. Originally designed in [[calendar:ye_33]] for usage in the horrific [[stararmy:history:second_mishhuvurthyar_war]] as a long-range heavy direct-fire support unit, work on the HELGA was unfortunately the subject of frequent delays both internal (the termination of Kodian support for the project (for political reasons)) and external ([[stararmy:history:battle_of_yamatai]]). Finally, in [[calendar:ye_37]], the design of the HELGA Core (having undergone innumerable design revisions since its conception four years prior) was at long last finalized - and in the eyes of many, the result had been well worth the wait.
-Packing impressive amounts of firepower and defense, the HELGA is intended for usage in a plethora of tactical environments as a heavier variant of the [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-1h_mindy_armor|Mindy M2-1H]]; to successfully fulfill this role, the Core is equipped with two shoulder-mounted [[stararmy:weapons:aether_shock_array|Aether Shock Arrays]] and two modified variants of the venerable forearm-mounted [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-2_series_mindy_armor#ke-m2-w3500_forearm_weapons_2|Ke-M2-W3500]]. Protection-wise, the HELGA's [[materials:durandium|Durandium]] frame is heavily reinforced and boasts //two// [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-p3001_mindy_shoulder_energy_cloak|Ke-M2-P3001 Energy Cloak Shield Projectors]], located in the shoulder pauldrons; finally, the Core is equipped with four leg hardpoints (with one per outer thigh and lower leg) and one dorsal hardpoint (located between the [[stararmy:weapons:aether_shock_array|Aether Shock Arrays]]).
-This "Mobile Fortress," however, isn't without its drawbacks; it, for instance, is cumbersome and slow, due to the sheer size and weight of its various systems, meaning that it's highly vulnerable to flanking and in melee combat versus anything with more mobility then itself; additionally, the Core is unable to use any handheld weaponry - as its hands (designed for the larger-then-average [[species:kodians|Kodian species]]) are simply too large; furthermore, it's incapable of recharging the [[stararmy:weapons:aether_shock_array|Arrays]] and the [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-p3001_mindy_shoulder_energy_cloak|Projectors]] simultaneously, due to the sheer amount of power required. Lastly, the HELGA core is unfortunately only usable by [[species:kodians]] - for no other species has the brute strength (or stature) required to handle the massive Core.
-After receiving feedback from users in the field, the HELGA underwent a minor refit in the spring of [[calendar:ye_38]], gaining a [[stararmy:equipment:psionic_signal_controller|Psionic Signal Controller]] and the ability to utilize [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-2_series_mindy_armor#active_camouflage|Active Camouflage]] - provided that the Core is equipped with [[stararmy:equipment:aies|AIES]] - in exchange for a slight increase in the Core's (already **//insane//**) overall mass and size.

-  * Energy Shield and Cloak: 12 ADR [[guide:damage_rating_v2#base_structural_points|SP]] (Threshold 3)
-===== Weapons: =====
-==== Ke-M10-W3700 Aether Shock Arrays (2): ====
-The HELGA's primary [[technology:aether]]-based beam armament; based off of the [[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2901_aether_beam_saber-rifle|Ke-M2-W2901 Aether Beam Saber-Rifle]]. Each cannon is capable of traversing 15° up, down, and side-to-side; when not in use, the cannons lower themselves over the Core's shoulder blades.
-  * **Location:** One on each shoulder.
-  * **Purpose:** Long/Mid-range area-of-effect weapon; Anti-armor/starship
-  * **Damage:** [[guide:damage_rating_v2#armor_scale|ADR]] 5((Per blast (x3).))
-  * **Range:** Up to 250,000 miles (402,336 kilometers)
-  * **Rate of Fire (Beam):** Three three-second blasts every 15 seconds.
-  * **Payload:** Infinite as long as the Core is powered.
-==== Ke-M10-W3701 Forearm Weapons (2): ====
-The HELGA's secondary armament; essentially a variant of the [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-2_series_mindy_armor#ke-m2-w3500_forearm_weapons_2|Ke-M2-W3500 Forearm Weapons]] with a tertiary firing mode modified to match the [[stararmy:weapons:aether_shock_array|Shock Arrays]] in terms of charge-up time, beam duration, and salvo intensity (as combat simulations demonstrated that desynchronization between them and the conventional [[stararmy:equipment:ke-m2-2_series_mindy_armor#ke-m2-w3500_forearm_weapons_2|W3500's]] beam mode were simply too much of a distraction in combat). Capable of three modes: Blade, Rapid-Fire, and the previously-mentioned Beam.
-In the first mode, "Blade," the weapon emits a 1.5-meter-long [[technology:aether]] blade intended for melee combat. The second mode, "Rapid-Fire," fires a stream of [[technology:aether]] pulses in quick succession, similar to an assault rifle. Finally, the third mode, "Beam,"  requires a five-second charging sequence - but in return unleashes a less-potent version of the larger Ke-M10-W3700 Arrays.
-  * **Location:** One in each forearm.
-  * **Purpose:** Variable-range multi-function weapon; Anti-armor/personnel
-  * **Damage:** [[guide:damage_rating_v2#armor_scale|ADR]] 5 (Blade), [[guide:damage_rating_v2#armor_scale|ADR]] 3 (Rapid-Fire), [[guide:damage_rating_v2#armor_scale|ADR]] 4 (Beam)
-  * **Range:** 1.5 meters((4.9213 feet)) (Blade), 6,000 meters((3.728 miles)) (Rapid-Fire), 105 kilometers((65.244 miles)) (Beam)
-  * **Rate of Fire (Rapid-Fire):** 3 pulses/second.
-  * **Rate of Fire (Beam):** 1 three-second blast every 5 seconds.
-  * **Payload:** Infinite as long as the Core is powered.
