CEF Frame Type F11-22 & F2-07
F11-22
Type 11-22 Frame
Built as an alternative to the heavier Frames developed by Moscow Heavy Industries, the Type 11-22 proved too fragile for the sort of frontline assault duties that Ground Command had in mind. Unwilling to accept failure, KWS executives decided to pursue an independent schedule for the development of something the Colonial Expeditionary Force needed but hadn’t asked for, a scout.
Beginning with the lighter frame and chassis, the project eventually evolved into a multipurpose forward observer/minesweeper machine. Lightly armed and armored, the 11-22 is capable of being inserted into a firezone by airdrop from an AC-56 or AT-33 transport. Once on the ground, any potential resistance can be rapidly identified and designated for attack by aerospace assets such as the TAAF- 54. In this capacity, the 11-22 can act as a pathfinder for securing drop zones for following troopers, soldiers and equipment. A standard CEF minesweeper drone is also often carried as standard equipment for neutralizing any minefield that may be discovered during a search.
Kadellie Weapons Systems arranged for a surprise demonstration of their specialist Frame for Ground Command. Following the event, the CEF placed an order for mass production to begin immediately.

F2-07
Type 2-07 Frame
The difficulties encountered during the Terranovan campaign highlighted a serious shortcoming for Ground Command: their equipment was poorly suited to fighting in jungle terrain. In attempting to penetrate the dense vegetation of the Mekong lowlands many of the CEF’s most important assets had to be left behind, including hovertanks, artillery and personnel carriers. This limited the amount of firepower that could be brought to bear in theater and greatly favored the rebellious colonists with their well armed and armored Gears.
The Type 2-07 redresses that shortfall with a dedicated fire support weapons payload intended to destroy enemy vehicles and personnel alike. A massive 152mm mortar is the primary weapon system and is firmly mounted behind the center of the V-Engine. Even with a 1.5m screw recoil traverse system the Frame cannot fire this weapon from a standing position and must assume a kneeling posture in which hydraulic interlocks engage to hold the entire machine rigid. Ballistic declination is controlled by pitching the entire torso forward at the correct angle prior to firing.
A shoulder-mounted 55mm anti-personnel mortar comes as standard issue for use against enemy infantry and to support friendly infantry. The laser cannon carried by the Type 6-16 is used for direct fire engagements, although these should usually be avoided when possible.
While the Terra Novan gears excel in denser environments, these same environments limit large vehicles, such as hovertanks and hover APCs. This ultimately reduces the deploy-ability of weapon systems, including artillery support. The F2-07 is one overpriced fire support answer, but an answer none-the-less.
