NOT ALL WEAPONS APPROVED FOR IC USAGE

In recent months, the Lorath Matriarchy R&D machine has been steadily progressing with new prototypes and production designs in all vehicle classes and weapon types. This rapid pace of development has been assisted in no small part by foreign talent, not least of which is the inimitatable Stalwart Defender, whose Stalwart Defense Industries has grown from a one-man dummy corporation to a massive design bureau.

Due to Stalwart's sojourn on the Maras and the continued development and production of the ARIA system, his weapons design has been at a standstill, but in YE 30, the NSW (New Stalwart Weapons) Initiative began to develop and mass-produce unfinished designs to supplement the widely-deployed FMS-1 Stalwart Special and its variants. The new weapons come in the wake of the development of cheap, dedicated, export-ready powered armor systems to supplement the versatile WIND and WINTER machines.

The list of weapons is split into two parts - production weapons and nonproduction weapons. Production weapons are available for the general public to purchase; special designs are not, and have only undergone limited production.
