@Dog The 40k approach of 'go really big or be a heretic' doesn't really fit the setting. The thing about MAS units is that they've practically replaced both fighter craft in space and tanks on the ground. While there still may be some niche uses for both of those platforms, the MAS is now the most standard war machine. Now sure, a 40k inspired titan could likely do well to replace a tank on the ground, but it doesn't serve the other half of its role being a replacement for a fighter. In space, such a MAS would be completely unwieldy and it'd be nearly impossible to effectively defend itself against squadrons of other speedy MAS units. And there will be PLENTY of space in this RP as the aim is to be more on the side of Gundam, Armored Core, Robotech/Macross.

Psychological Analysis
Dearil has become very aware of his own mortality after what he saw during his time in the Imperial Secret Service. Doing the dark and dirty handiwork of the Emperor has jaded Dearil over time, which negatively affected his relationship with his wife and daughter. Dearil has never looked back since leaving the ISS, and has found himself to be quite comfortable working a mundane job such as piloting a cargo transport. Dearil is a very lax kind of guy, preferring to throw formality out the window to live it up like every moment could be his last. He shows heightened levels of excitement and anxiety as he intends on leaving behind his military career in order to finally give his family the father it needs. With his MAS days behind him, Dearil often will often look back reverently at the good times as his chapter of duty draws to an end.

Personal Record
Dearil really doesn't talk much about his past, mainly because everyone knows he can't exactly say much about his history. It is no secret to his peers that Dearil once served in the Imperial Secret Service as a covert agent of the Emperor. Many people has simply resigned to the reality that finding out about the deeds he has committed during his mysterious tenure are best left unspoken. Being that his time in the ISS took up a large portion of his military career, Dearil found himself unable to relate to many of the rank and file soldiers of the regular military. Still, he tried his best. Once he was managed to transfer out of the ISS and become a transport pilot, Dearil took to his new job gleefully. No longer did he have to soak his hands with guilt.

Dearil has since flown for the 5th fleet in his trusty bucket of a transport, The River Styx. He has been running routine flights between all of the ships of the 5th fleet on the daily, transporting all the goods to allow for the fleet to operate at its best from weapons and ammunition to food and cigarettes. Being the guy who hands out the cigarettes to the stressed out marines and MAS pilots, Dearil has quickly been accepted among the fleet personnel as their favorite friend. Dearil's constant buzzing between all of the ships, taking small group of people and precious cargo to where they needed to go earned him the nickname 'The Ferryman'.

But the long times away from home and the constant threat of death at the hands of the Coalition has put a strain on Dearil's family life. After a while, Dearil struggled with that reality and eventually put in for his formal release from the UEE military. The process was slow and painstaking, but he had finally gotten the stamped forms back authorizing his release after the return of the 5th fleet.

The River Styx

Role
Heavy Cargo and Personnel Transport

Chassis
SHT-8 Carry-All

Description
The Carry-All is a multi-purpose heavy transport utilized by the UEE Spacy as a logistical craft. It is capable of a variety of cargo such as ship components, heavy weaponry, ground vehicles, MAS units, as well as up to a platoon of personnel. The Carry-All is capable of both spaceflight and atmospheric flight, and can also withstand the dangers of atmospheric reentry. Additionally, the Carry-All is equipped with a small warp drive to enable it to jump small distances independently. This warp drive practically allows a Carry-All to circumnavigate planets to run vital supplies to distant ships of the same battlegroup.

While Carry-Alls are traditionally used for logistics, they are large enough and armored enough to be used as combat dropships for heavy equipment into a hotzone. They feature only a very limited amount of firepower however, and thus they are required to be escorted by MAS units or fighters to avoid interception when being used in this role. Carry-Alls are large supply ships, and thus they require a rather sizeable landing zone on planet surfaces. They are not the best option for mountainous terrain or heavily forested regions. The Carry-All can hover however, which allows it to come to a stop over rough terrain in order to safely deploy MAS units from above.

Systems
Twin MG-88 Nose Turret
Mounted on the nose of the Carry-All is a twin-barreled ballistic repeater that fires fifty caliber rounds. It is adequate enough to provide suppressing fire to soft bodied targets such as infantry, ultra-light MAS units, and light vehicles. The weapon cannot however hold its own against harder targets like full on MAS units, tanks, fortifications. Additionally, the tracking on the turret is notoriously slow, which makes it ineffective for dogfighting or dealing with fast moving targets.
