Design notes: The Xeku Drei is a modified and improved version of the Xeku Zwei used so successfully by Shizuru Chan. It features improved armor and a quasi-psycommu system to facilitate the easy handling of it’s six full-sized wired arms, which can be detatched for all-range attacks with handheld weapons or simply utilized for extended range melee strikes. Other upgrades include a large variety of handheld weapons (not least replacing the proven machinegun with a pair of extremely high ROF gatling cannons specialized for engaging fast moving targets), and additional missiles and thrusters.
Despite these upgrades, the Xeku Drei is actually less nimble in atmosphere than it’s predecessor, but boasts superior agility in space, thanks to the six large boosters that extend from it’s oversized backpack.
