Strike Frame

Strike Frames, also called the Strike Frame System are large modular humanoid combat vehicles roughly standing around 16 meters in height. Unlike the former MBSPs, Strike Frames were made to work for both Space and Surface combat, they can also function underwater but not at critical depths, as they will still get crushed by water pressure.

The definition of Strike Frame varies from just the frame itself or the fully functioning modular mech.

History
The Origins of the Strike Frame Systems stems from the old MBSP mechs and the much smaller Exosuits. Wanting to combine both the easily used Exosuit and the powerful MBSP.

Development of the Strike Frame System began on AE 63 when the Legion needed to field a newer MBSP. Azuci, a company stepped in to present a reactor small, yet powerful enough to make a new type of MBSP.

The Legion's Research and Development team, along with Azuci, and the AUH developed the first prototype Strike Frame, the SF-00 CANIS (Which at the time was called MBSP-II). Its combat capabilities, smaller size, and ease of control, and modularity impressed the Quadrex and the type of weapon was given the name Strike Frame.

The SF-00 CANIS however was too expensive to produce, which eventually led to the development of the SF-01 LUPUS, a Strike Frame designed for mass production.

Strike Frames first saw major use during the Secessionist war between the Dominion and the Vaeglon Hegemony when the Legion sent a Strike Frame Squadron, the Black Legion, to aid the Vaeglons in their battle. The appearance of the Strike Frame greatly demoralized Dominion troops as they had lost too many military assets against the Black Legion.

Eventually, the Vaeglons purchased some SF for their own use against the Dominion and the Dominion themselves started to develop their own Strike Frame.
