BACKGROUND 

power_male1_small.jpg (25315 bytes)The development of the Queadlunn-Ger (Tactical Power Armor) power armor provided the male Zentraedi an equivalent counterpart to the highly successful Queadlunn-Rau.  The Robotech Masters looked at other ways to improve the standard male power armor to fill other tactical requirements.  One design improvement was to produce a highly mobile cavalry unit which could be quickly deployed to key areas of the battlefield or used for special operations.

The Assault Power Armor (Queadlunn Yau) was developed 5 years after the Tactical Power Armor to fulfill these needs.  Although, the Assault Armor does not have nearly the armor nor the firepower of the standard Tactical Power Armor, it still outclasses the standard Male Power Armor.  The highly successful PB-11 was kept as the primary long range weapon; however, the missile load was reduced to 42 short range missiles mounted in two SL-21 launchers on either shoulder.  Two carbine versions of the venerable PB-10, found on all combat models of the Regult Battle Pod,  were added to either arm for short range defense.

The Queadlunn Yau never made it past the experimental stage.  Only 250 models were produced immediately before the Zentraedi campaign to recapture the SDF-1.  Approximately 50 Assault Armors were included in Breetai's forces to reclaim the SDF-1.  The masters felt that the special operations nature of the mission would fit in with the design parameters of the Assault Armor.  All the the units were subsequently destroyed on a raid of the RDF research faculty Gibraltar just outside of the asteroid belt.

  2. 2 x SL-21 : Two short range missile launchers are mounted on either shoulder Tactical Armor.  Each launcher contains 21 Maggot short range missiles ready for launching.

     

  3. 2 x PB-10c :  Two carbine versions of the standard PB-10 found on all combat versions of the Regult Battlepods are placed in either arm.  Each PB-10 have four barrels that can fire 2.5 MJ every second.  Each barrel can be fired in parallel for maximum localized damage or in series for increased chances of a hit.

  4. ZENTRAEDI PLASMA RIFLE (PL-4):  The Robotech Masters provided the Queadlunn-Gerr with an improved version of the standard PL-3 Zentraedi Plasma rifle.  Unlike the original PL-3, the PL-4 does not suffer from the sporadic malfunctions and tendency to discharge when damaged during combat.
