Plot
Humanity lives in the deepest reaches of explored space in a vast region known as The Frontier.
It contains many well-known and inhabited solar systems, but many more
worlds remain uncharted. Most people will never travel this far away
from normal civilization, but for pioneers, explorers, mercenaries,
outlaws, and soldiers - the Frontier offers both adventure and
opportunity.
Major interplanetary corporations known as Hammond Robotics -- a
major manufacturing, aerospace and defense contractor -- used resources
of the Frontier to make builds of mecha-combatants such as Titans and
Spectres. Titans are descendants of present-day fledgling military exoskeletons.
In addition to the obvious combat applications, unarmed forms of Titans
are used in heavy industries like cargo transport and deep space ship
salvage. They are also used in special applications such as deep space
search and rescue, and are very effective in inhospitable environments.
The use of Titans is widespread throughout the Frontier in both combat
and civilian life. As with Titans, the Frontier contains Pilots of many
different styles and experiences. Titan Pilots are rated by
'certifications', most of which apply to civilian applications, such as
construction, shipping, and heavy salvage industries. The most
prestigious of these is the Full Combat Certification - a widely
published series of tests that grade a Titan Pilot's abilities. Because
of the extreme physical and mental challenges of mastering both Titan
combat & dismounted parkour movement, a fully combat certified Titan
pilot is a rare find, and the combat skills of active Pilots in the
field varies widely throughout the Frontier.
