− | ==History== |
||
− | Humanoid combat armors, developed by Rainford’s 5th Development Division in secret. Metaphor: 'Knights for the modern age', modeled after Divine Knight and made of hardened steel from toe to crown. Done so by Professor G. Schmidt, responsible for developing the Panzer Soldats when Duke Cayenne made the request that he agree to it. Using the ancient robot, Ordine, and Archaisms as a reference point, then designed a frame that could be mass produced even with the Reinford Company’s technological capabilities. From there, Professor G. Schmidt drew up plans for several models and oversaw the completion of a Drakkhen prototype a few months back; before the Civil War happened in Erebonian. The frames of the Divine Knights are made up of Zemurian Ore, a very Rare Ore that’s hard to acquire, so what took place was the Soldats were made of different metal material as a substitute. |

+ | ==Background== |
+ | The Panzer Soldats are humanoid combat units developed by Reinford’s 5th Development Division in secrecy per [[Duke Cayenne]]'s request. Professor [[G. Schmidt]], one of the renowned pupils of Professor [[C. Epstein]] was responsible for the development project. By referencing the Azure Knight, [[Ordine]] and the [[Thirteen Factories]] Archaisms as a central basis, the frame schematics were designed for feasible mass-production even with the [[Reinford Group]]’s technological capabilities. |
||
− | Designed with integrated arts resistance in parts to shield them from Orbal Arts. New model engines & impressive armor gives it a form of resistance, even to break steel wires if used to tie up. Weakness: When attacked around the joints, even those of human size with capable strength & skill can take down a Panzer Soldat. Another is nullify their art-shielding capabilities to allow Orbal Arts to damage them. The design presence of Soldati units on a battlefield makes a tremendous difference. What they may lack in firepower and armor compared to tanks, they make up for in mobility and versatility. However, there is also the psychological impact they have on opponents. For human beings, they can be captivated as ones are terrified of giant beings bearing human form. |
||
+ | A few months before the Civil War outbreak, Professor G. Schmidt trialed with various blueprints for several models until he oversaw the completion of a Drakkhen prototype. |
||
− | ===Capabilities=== |
||
− | '''Reactive Armor''' - A protective field that the pilot can activate at will. Originally design to defend against tank assaults, it can also reflect all attacks. '''Mobile Movement -''' They are equipped with roller-wheel traction heels to allow them to move at a faster rate to outmaneuver tanks, their speed is almost like a Orbal Mobile Vehicle. '''Control Compartment''' - Located in the front of the chest-plate, a pilot can sit inside to gain access to the piloting control arm switches, panels & screen display in front of them. '''Controlling Soldat -''' It appears that it’s difficult to know how to pilot a Soldat, while there is documentations to instruct & help one pass a test run to learn how to be capable of piloting. But it appears that those very well suited in different fighting styles & with an intelligent mind, can pick it up quickly, & even control a Soldat in how they would move their own trained bodies in the same sense; the higher the skilled pilot, the higher the skill output the Soldat Unit will perform. |
||
+ | ==Characteristics== |
||
− | The development of Soldats differentiates those capable of using them. For there are many different types used by Soldiers to those of a higher Commander position, along with weapons either a soldier is custom to using or a skilled pilot operating both a Soldat and performing well with the weapon choice. For other productions, comes with upgrading existing models to new heights to create new models for different usage, the only issue is how much the Orbal Engine can be pushed from such a frame, and from being piloted by either soldiers or more skilled fighters. |
||
+ | Prior to its armor-soldier name, the Soldats are metallically-framed at every mechanical limb with highly-refined alloy from the Sachsen mountains. Its design presence on the battlefield makes a tremendous psychological impact to the human opponents, as they are easily captivated by fear of humanoid-resembling giants. |
||
+ | What they may lack in firepower and armor compared to tanks, they make up for in mobility and versatility. |
||
+ | It was initially suggested the metal to be [[Zemurian Ore]] for it was the same alloy material to create the [[Divine Knight]]s, but was substituted to the current metal due to being incredibly rare and hard to locate. The alloy was designed with integrated arts resistance to shield them from all Orbal Arts attacks. New model engines were implemented for mobility, articulation, and maneuverability to balance the weight of the refined metal, while improving strength to escape all sorts of restriction, especially steel wires. |

The Panzer Soldats (
First introduced in the finale of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel, these units were first deployed to "re-dominate" the Erebonian Empire, with occupying Heimdallr as the igniting spark of the Erebonian Civil War. Their advanced technology makes combatting them with traditional armaments difficult.
In Trails of Cold Steel II, they feature heavily as the primary enemies faced during Divine Knight battles.
In Trails of Cold Steel III, they are still part of the production line and distributed to the Reeves II Campus for its students' training curriculum. Now playable as commandable units piloted by the party members.
Background
The Panzer Soldats are humanoid combat units developed by Reinford’s 5th Development Division in secrecy per Duke Cayenne's request. Professor G. Schmidt, one of the renowned pupils of Professor C. Epstein was responsible for the development project. By referencing the Azure Knight, Ordine and the Thirteen Factories Archaisms as a central basis, the frame schematics were designed for feasible mass-production even with the Reinford Group’s technological capabilities.
A few months before the Civil War outbreak, Professor G. Schmidt trialed with various blueprints for several models until he oversaw the completion of a Drakkhen prototype.
Characteristics
Prior to its armor-soldier name, the Soldats are metallically-framed at every mechanical limb with highly-refined alloy from the Sachsen mountains. Its design presence on the battlefield makes a tremendous psychological impact to the human opponents, as they are easily captivated by fear of humanoid-resembling giants. What they may lack in firepower and armor compared to tanks, they make up for in mobility and versatility.
It was initially suggested the metal to be Zemurian Ore for it was the same alloy material to create the Divine Knights, but was substituted to the current metal due to being incredibly rare and hard to locate. The alloy was designed with integrated arts resistance to shield them from all Orbal Arts attacks. New model engines were implemented for mobility, articulation, and maneuverability to balance the weight of the refined metal, while improving strength to escape all sorts of restriction, especially steel wires.
Its only weaknesses are in terms of defense. Its physical weakness is the pivotal joints where its vulnerable enough even for over-capable humans with strength and skill can take one unit down. Its other weakness is special defense if htier art-shielding capabilities are nullified, then Orbal Arts can deal damage.
Specifications
- Reactive Armor: A protective field to defend all attacks stronger than tank-fire, and coated with arts-resistance features to reflect all Orbal Arts.
- Mobile Movement: They are equipped with roller-wheel traction heels for faster mobility to outmaneuver tanks and ground vehicles.
- Cockpit Compartment: Located in the front of the chest-plate, it is where the pilot accesses the manual controls through switches, panels & screen display in front of them.
- Control System: From its initial development, the Soldat units appeared to be still advanced for manual control, despite instructional documentation for pilots who pass the test run. Capable humans with suited fighting styles and an able mind were to pilot with swift pace. These capable people to-be proficient pilots can have their units customized to match their tailored specifications to match their trained bodies of the same sense.
Development
After Heimdallr was conquered by the Noble Alliance with most of the Imperial Provinces soon followed, the Soldat production was advanced to further implementation for new upgraded models to cover most combat backgrounds. Some of the original Speigel units are personalized to be commander-types for the Army commanders while still equipped with its default armaments.
Personalized Custom units are differentiated either being an overhauled existing unit or a newly upgraded model with certain color schemes. Each is given a different weapon of choice to match the tailored specifications of its corresponding pilot, and calibrated Orbal Engines adjusted to fit parameters for greater output.
Armaments:
Many different weaponry were developed for different usage depending on the model & the skill of the user.
- Knight Sword: A metallic claymore sword.
- Great Knight Sword: A metallic great-sword which is an advance & stronger model of the Knight Sword.
- Thin Knight Sword: A thin-sword with two edge points, a faster & stronger model then the Knight Sword & possible equal to a Great Knight Sword.
- Templar Sword: A dark-grey separate sword-whip, for long-range distant attacks.
- Orbal Beam Rifle: A dark grey machine rifle gun.
- Gigantic Lance: A metallic drill lance.
- Hammer: A red metallic hammers within wheel edges off the side.
- Spear: A grapple handle with the top looking like a metallic three-side spear.
Models
Soldat units produced in varying specifications tailored to meet the military needs of their pilots. There are some models that when piloted by professionally skilled users can become challenging opponents.
Unit | Model Product | Combat Function | Pilot Users |
---|---|---|---|
Drakkhen | Sword, Rifle, Drill Lance, Motor Hammer | Military Soldiers | |
Spiegel | Great Sword, Drill Lance, Motor Hammer | Commanders | |
Hector | Heavy-Armored Soldat | Back Orbal Cannons, Ankle Missiles, Shoulder Orbal Cannons | Military Soldiers & High Ranking Pilots |
Goliath | Giant Soldat | Gatling Cannons, Missile Launchers X2 | Military Soldiers & High Ranking Pilots |
Kestrel | High-Speed Soldat | Knight Templar Sword, Great Sword | Military Soldiers & High Ranking Pilots |
Notes/Trivia
- The name etymology is "Panzer" which is German for armored unit, and 'Soldat' for 'soldier'.
- The units are described by the metaphor as 'Knights for the modern age', for they are modeled after the Divine Knights constructed of hardened steel from toe to crown.
