Working for the Promised Land
Once upon a time, Union came across its distant cousins on their own Lonely Cradle at
the edge of Orion's Belt, a mountainous little world with cold and thin air tamed by massive
industrial complexes. Those who lived there called themselves the Clanners, and organized
themselves into great familial-labor guilds under the leadership of their Fatherclan, the Grimm.
Old Master Grimm was happy to make a deal with the men from the stars- and "incorporated"
the Clans into the corpro-state of Grimm & Sons. With the labor pools of an entire culture like
the Clanners, the Second Committee was happy to let G&S on contracts to build Blink Gates
and tame worlds.
It was in pursuit of these hyperstructure and colonial contracts that G&S entered the
field of mechanized frame design with the John Henry- a surprise smash hit of an industrial
mech meant for working where human decision making required incredible strength to back it
up. From the success of the John Henry, G&S pushed itself into military mech design as a
means of protecting their colonial ventures and supporting various partisan groups the Clanners
see as worth arming. After hundreds of years in the business, G&S is well recognized as one of
the most prolific colonial engineering companies, though their general mission scope keep them
far from the status of the Big Four.
The culture of G&S is that of Lonely Cradle, a republic of toil where the Clan is the center
of a person’s life. Quickly achieving Core status and constructing most of their own Blink Gate
with the help of the early second Committee, the G&S corpro-state dedicates itself to the motto
“Working for the Promised Land.” The actions of the Clanners are done for the benefit of all
mankind, to build paradise on earth through virtuous labor. Their goals are grand and their
means are simple- every planet terraformed, every wilderness tamed, every colony built is
another chance for the Fall to never happen again. The Third Committee enjoy having G&S as a
solid (if small) voting block supporting the center, and allow the clanners to do mostly as they
please, bidding for and claiming frontier worlds to tame as the first step of mass colonial
projects.
In terms of what they can offer to pilots, Grimm & Sons mechs have their root in the
industrial work of their company: mechs built to tame the far frontier of space and all the
accompanying dangers therein. Hyperfauna, space pirates, natural disasters, tinpot tyrants,
slavers, and all the rest G&S offer the business end of a mech. The Promised Land will be built.
Pilot, will you take up your tools and do your part?
MECHANICS AND MECHS
I will put core bonuses here i promise i promise
Core Bonuses
When G&S builds a mech, they build it to last and they build it to do what they need it to do.
With their Core Bonuses you’ll be able to stay on a mission longer without repair or resupply.
Clanner’s Pride
How many hands touch a mech before it’s deployed? A hundred thousand mine the ores, ten
thousand work the materials into RawMat, a thousand hands machine the parts, a dozen hands
plate the frame, a single hand pulls the trigger. But your hand alone doesn’t grasp the gun. All
those hands are with you, at every moment.
Your mech is Immune to the Slowed Condition (unless inflicted by systems, traits, talents, or etc)
and ignores Difficult Terrain.
Lilliputian Modifications
G&S has worked on mechs for a long, long time. You learn a few tricks, being in the business so
long. Micronization technology is simple- with enough time and effort and thought, anything can
be made smaller, lighter, easier to ship, easier to move... without sacrificing an inch on build
quality.
When you take a Full Rest, you may print your mech smaller, reducing its Size by 1. When you
do this, your mech counts as Size 3 for purposes of rams, grapples, engagement, and other
effects that check for Size?

G&S - JOHN HENRY
Striker
When G&S first entered into mech design, they did so with the John Henry. The GMS Attakulla
served as the base- an industrial mech mass-printed by GMS as a worker’s frame during Blink
Gate and Naval Yard construction that had been delivered en-mass to Lonely Cradle during first
contact. As part of their contracted work to supply raw labor and standard materials for the
construction of their system’s Blink Gate, Grimm & Sons to a shine to mechanized frames as a
concept, rapidly modifying and rebuilding their Attakullas into something else- the John Henry.
In every way an improvement to its predecessor, the John Henry license near-eclipses
equivalent GMS designs in the industrial mech field- even the dyson panels of cradle have John
Henrys working the line.
So, how does the most popular industrial mech in the galaxy end up on the battlefield? Simple,
G&S knows its common and knows that it may be the only mech a worker may have access to:
the Emergency Printing Schedule allows any industrial-license to be upgraded into a full
combat license for the John Henry in case of disaster or emergency. John Henry is a worker
first, a rail-driver and a plate-hammerer, a maker of life out in the cold of the void- but the
worker can defend himself and what he cares for. The hammer builds paradise, and it casts
judgement on the wicked.

Born with a twenty-ton hammer right in its hand, the John Henry was built as an industrial mech to
labor on Blink Gates and Orbital Forges. From Clanner’s orbital forges came the Adamant
Compound that allowed them to create the magnetic pulses that power the piezoelectric generator
that in turn feeds the myomolecular musculature of the John Henry- and the Hammer is John
Henry’s soul, the largest concentration of Adamant Compound, and that which can fuel its endless
might. In the military-grade printing, the Rail-Driver’s adamant compound and piezoelectric
generators fire on all cylinders, stressing even the strongest of coldcores. But lord, can John Henry
swing that hammer, and the Rail-Driver is the hammer that won the western arm.

G&S - VOLK
Striker
The Volk is the answer to a problem G&S has, conceived of by the Guild of Mechanists and
Clan Rockstansky- the gunsmiths and armorers of the republic of toil. The Volk is what Grimm &
Sons created for generalized colonial militia use, essentially making it the Line Mech of G&S. As
a line mech, the Volk makes up the bulk of military licensing the clanners engage with- it is most
commonly seen in frontier militias, colonial defense forces, and worker’s militias on recent
contact worlds that have yet to achieve the sort of government Clanners agree with- namely
one that allies to their understanding of the Union Pillars.
That is not to disparage the Volk as some backwater, reserve unit, weekend-warrior type of
mech produced without much of a care. The Big Bad Wolf has that sort of name for a reason,
and even a single Volk in skilled hands is a nightmare of howling jet turbines and screaming
saws. Capable of extreme speed and strength despite its strange, spindly frame, the Volk’s
iconic Fenrir Shredders are a pair of limb-mounted adamant compound bore-saws derived from
mining and hyperflora harvesting tools that allow the Volk to casually behead foes who happen
to stand with arms’ reach.

Fenrir Shredders
Derived from mining drills and hyperflora saws, the Fenrir Shredders installed in the palms of the Volk
are perhaps the most famous aspect of the Clanner’s Wolf. Capable of 600 mega-RPS at sustained
power and tearing through most metallic compounds known to science, the Fenrir Shredders are
linked to a mind-impulse-system that allows the pilot to control the long, gangly limbs of the Volk
with a mental flick of the wrist. With full core dump, the mental link between pilot and machine is
temporarily deepened through forced synchronization between the primitive Machine-Mind and the
Pilot. Doing this allows for the Volk and Pilot to spring into a whirlwind of death and tear through as
many enemies as are willing to stand before the Wolf.
Passive: Killer’s Palm
1/Round, when the Volk hits a character with a melee attack, it can deal 3 AP Kinetic Damage to
another character in Range 3
Active (requires 1 Core Power): Screaming Saws
Protocol
Until the end of the scene, when you activate Fenrir Shredders, you may hit as many targets within 3
Spaces as you please. Any targets struck with the Fenrir Shredders may not make Overwatch
attacks against you
Utility Saws
You know, you can just strap chainsaws to a mech? I love bein an engineer, cause that’s how
you learn the difference between a combat saw and a utility saw is a legal one and not a
mechanical one. So the Volk license comes pre-loaded with a set of of hullbreaker saws,
originally meant for cutting down hyperflora trees in logging operations. They do a doozy on
mechs too.
2SP, Unique
When you successfully initiate a grapple you may deal 2 Kinetic Damage to the grappled target.
Additionally you may use a Quick Action to rev up your saws and deal 10 AP Kinetic Damage
to adjacent objects or terrain
“Bushwhacker” Underhook
A bill-hook is a traditional woodsman’s weapon by the reckoning of Clanners- good for brush
clearing and wonderful as a polearm in home-defense. There’s few weapons that offer such
versatility on the market, so G&S offers it as a modification for just about anything. Why not
have a familiar arm always at hand?
2 SP, Unique, Mod
Pick a Melee weapon, when you hit a target with it, you may spend a Quick Action to swap
places with them and knock the target Prone.
Burst Coat
Using a specialized layer of adamant compound in the underlayers of a mech’s armor allows a
pilot to take advantage of a strange property of G&S’ trademark metamaterial- its ability to
generate legionspace interference when subjected to strong electrical charges. By releasing a
held piezoelectrical charge into the “nerves” of adamant compound woven throughout the
armor, a burst of interference is generated- breaking locks and allowing a canny pilot to escape
enemy fire.

simple, ready-to-learn techniques that G&S can use to quicken the training of colonial
militiamen.

G&S - BUNYAN
Defender
When the Clanners seek to tame a world, truly tame it and make it part of their sprawling
Promised Land, they send Bunyan. Built for size and strength above all else, Bunyan is a titanic
defender whose bulk is meant to labor constructing the kinds of mega-infrastructure projects
G&S is famous for. Colonopoli, trainyards, orbital elevators, whatever a burgeoning little frontier
needs! It's said that three Bunyans, working for a year and a day, can build an entire Core-Level
cityscape; before they settle down and link their coldcores to the power-grid and light it
themselves. In G&S Colonies, the shape of Bunyan frames “enshrined” as power-stations are a
common sight. Bunyan is famous for its “roomy” cockpit, designed and shaped after the
single-person living spaces aboard the ancient Armstrong and allowing a single pilot to undergo
months without resupply or replacement.
In matters of military necessity, the Bunyan frame excels in using its size, power, and inbuilt
Ballistic/Advanced Barrier Enhancement Drone to keep its allies in the fight and aggressors on
the back foot. What are the teeth of a Vast, when compared to armor of adamant? What are the
bullets of pirates, when compared to an axe’s honest steel? What are the dangers of all the
galaxy, compared to the strength of a man fighting to protect what he’s built? Bunyan stands,
towering in its pride and power, above the fray. Planets break before his pilots do.

Ballistic/Advanced Barrier Enhancement Drone
The Ballistic/Advanced Barrier Enhancement (BABE) Drone is some of the fanciest tech G&S has
ever managed to get off the ground without it going up in flames on them, creating a portable
Warp-Shield derived from the GMS Type-II. The frankly massive and clunky drone manages to output
powerful shield to defend its core Frame from incoming fire through its Warp-Shield, but most pilots
see fit to use it to help their friends. G&S knows its customer base well, and the full production line of
Bunyan includes a built-in BABE drone, capable of being supercharged with a dump from the
coldcore. The tell-tale blue is your friend, pilot, trust in BABE and he’ll bring your lance home.
Passive: BABE Drone (Size 1, 20Hp, 8ev, 8edef, Tags: Drone)

The Bunyan may deploy the BABE Drone as a protocol to any free space within its Sensor Range at

G&S - JACK
Striker
“King of the Wild Frontier.” That’s the sales-line Clan Rockstansky used for their marvelous little
giantkiller. The gunsmiths and armorers of G&S needed a milspec mech that was printable by
the kinds of low-schedule foundries that colonial holdings often have. Sure, you can print a
military mech from any industrial printer, but that takes time- time better served printing
housing, hospitals, infrastructure. Thus came Jack, whose most intensive printing requirement
is the ‘Fabled’ Class Coldcore. Everything else about the mech is cheap to print, easy to tool,
and ready for combat.
The Jack’s size and speed benefit its role as a giantkiller, allowing it to move through
underbrush, incoming fire, the legs of its prey, anything and everything the frontier can throw at
Jack, it can move through. It can hunt through. It can clamber up on the hulls of pirate mechs
and hyperfauna and deliver its killing blow with lethal accuracy. Jack is the King of the Wild
Frontier- there ain’t nothing out in space it can’t bring down.

still fall short of true NHPs in terms of ability.
Scathach is an old engram, her codecore used as the basis for a thousand others. She is the

G&S - DOROTHY
Support
Every Clanner wears a Rig, a light cybernetic exoframe designed to aid them in whatever work
they do. It is from these Rigs that Clan Zahedi derived the general design shape and purpose of
the DOROTHY, a warzone-rated search-and-rescue mechanized frame. G&S is famous for the
sturdiness of its designs, and Dorothy is no exception! Boasting a surprising bulk and
survivability for its size, the Dorothy is often described as a “second skin” to its pilots, who find
themselves naturally in-sync with a mech that fits more like a suit of armor than a walking tank.
Designed for Search-and-Rescue work first and combat second, the Dorothy comes equipped
with the Emerald Emergency Response Kit and Everready Drone. The Emerald ERK allows the
Dorothy and her flash-printed drone companions to survive extreme temperatures and
dangerous environments without breaking a sweat, using rapid-learning demi-intellect systems
to adapt to whatever environment a pilot may find themselves working in. The Everready Drone,
on the other hand, is a modular, wire-guided, demi-intellect that is built to answer any disaster
the Dorothy may find itself in, allowing for unparalleled flexibility in the field and out-performing
equivalent GMS disaster work mechs and hardsuits by almost 44%.

Emerald Emergency Response Kit
Designed by the Clans to put even the vaunted gear of Ras Shamra to shame, the Emerald
Emergency Response Kit is worked into the very being of the Dorothy frame- it would perhaps even
be accurate to say that the frame is built around the Emergency Response Kit. A key feature of the
Kit is the Everready Drone- a small black drone that is driven by a C/C level demi-intellect and
hard-linked to the Dorothy’s systems and coldcore through a move-by-wire umbilical system. With a
thought from the pilot, the Everready Drone deploys and changes into one of its preset support
modes, moving as an extension of the pilot’s body more than a tool. Many pilots grow to love and
care for the Everready, giving it a level of anthropomorphization usually reserved for childhood pets.
Passive: Everready Drone
At the start of the scene you may deploy the Everready Drone within your sensor range in one of its
three modes listed below. You may redeploy the Everready Drone as a protocol and may change its
mode with a Quick Action.

[UNDER CONSTRUCTION, PARDON OUR MESS]
G&S - ANANSI
Artillery
The Machine-Minds of Lonely Cradle were strange cousins to the more common Comp/Cons
of Union when First Contact finally occurred, close enough to seemingly hew towards the
recently established Deimos Accords with little trouble or fuss from the Clanners. The lineage of
these artificial demi-intellects carries forward into modern Grimm & Sons design, their own
descendants helping shape and design the hyperfauna hunting mechanized frame named
Ananasi by Clan Vediovis, whose programmers see joy and wonder in the potential of their little
Br’er Spider Combat/Computational Demi-Intellect. With Br’er Spider’s guidance, the Mech
and Pilot sit at the center of a vast informational web, constantly fed and updated moment to
moment with everything a hunter could need.
Ananasi sees wide usage in frontier conflicts where overwatch and close-range fire support
remain difficult to supply otherwise: the high-powered “monster hunting” rifles G&S offers are
simpler to print and tool than any kind of artillery. And there are plenty of monsters to hunt out
on the far frontiers- and worse besides. Anansi licenses are exceedingly popular among colonial
self-defense forces, Far Field Teams, and the occasional mercenary company all of whom
appreciate accurate, long range firepower backed by the rugged survivability of a Grimm &
Sons mech.

“Br’er Spider” Computational Demi-Intellect
We do not really mean, we do not really mean that what we are about to say is true.
A story, a story; let it come, let it go.
Br’er Spider is always watching from his web, a comprehensive sensors-suite that allows him to
access, process, and present an almost-perfect picture of the battlefield. Of course, what most pilots
think of in relation to the clever machine-mind is his ability to assist pilots in setting up
“Spiderwebs”- zones of covering fire monitored by Br’er Spider while the pilot focuses on more
active shotcalling and target-selection. Autonomously, Br’er Spider can grab control of weapons and
put bullets where they need to be to lock down zones of control
This is my story which I have related.
If it be sweet, or if it be not sweet, take some elsewhere, and let some come back to me.

Spiderweb
Quick Tech
2 Heat (Self)
Choose a weapon on your mech without the Blast, Burst, Cone or Line tags and create a Blast 2
area called a Spiderweb entirely within the weapon's Range and line of sight. Hostile characters that
move into a Spiderweb must stop moving immediately, losing any unused movement. While a
Spiderweb is active, you gain the Watch Your Head! reaction and can't make Overwatch attacks.
Spiderwebs last until you take this action again or until you move, including involuntary movement.
Watch Your Head!
Reaction, 1/Round
Trigger: A hostile character exits one of your Spiderwebs.
Effect: Interrupt the movement or action with a single weapon's attack.
Active (requires 1 Core Power): Anansesem
Protocol
Until the end of the scene, whenever you would use Spiderweb, you may create an additional 1d3
Blast 2 areas- they must follow all normal rules for placement and may not touch nor overlap.
Additionally, targets in your Spiderweb cannot benefit from Hidden or Invisibility.
Silencer
What was that noise? People always ask that. Mostly because a silencer isn’t actually silent,
especially a mech-scaled one. On the other hand, frame audio radars are tuned to pick up on
very loud sounds, so a sound that’s only kinda loud just doesn’t show up! It helps you stay out
of the spotlight, though if you go popping heads, ballistic tracing will still tell where your mech
is.
1 SP, Mod
Pick a Rifle weapon- when you attack with this weapon and Miss (and the weapon has no
other effects such as Reliable), you do not lose Hidden.
Octocamo Ghillie
Octocamo is the bog-standard in human-scale stealth-tech, a smart fabric that mimics the
property of Old Cradle monsters called “Octos'' that could change their color, texture, and
pattern to blend into their environment. We at G&S believe that if it was good enough for
grandad, it's good enough for you- and so we present a mech-frame scaled ghillie cloak made
from octocamo. Capable of all the color-changing expected, the ghillie also includes
heat-masking systems that makes actually targeting your mech hard as hell! ...as long as you’re
actually using something to hide with.
2SP, Unique
Quick Action
As a quick action, you don this cloak of color-shifting octocamo until you remove it as a
protocol, overheat, or suffer structure damage. While the cloak is active your mech is Slowed,
but gains Soft Cover from Difficult Terrain and treats other Soft Cover as Hard Cover.
Trick Charges
System fluff
2SP, Limited (3), Unique
Expend a charge for one of the following effects
Tripwire (Mine, Burst 1): When this Mine arms at the end of your turn, it creates a Line 5 in a
direction of your choice. The mine is triggered when a character moves through this line; create
a Burst 1 area centered on the triggering character, all characters in this area must succeed on
an Agility save or take 1d6+2 Explosive damage. On a success, they take half damage.
Holoterrain (Grenade, Range 5, Blast 1): All actors in the Blast must make a Systems save or
become Impaired and Slowed. On a successful save they become Impaired. The Blast lingers
as a piece of Soft Cover until the end of the scene.
Radar Shot
Ping! What an awful noise for somebody to hear when they’re trying to go unnoticed, right?
Grimm & Sons patented Radar Shot will drive those sneaky bastards crazy! It uses the impact of
a bullet... or rocket... or laser... to create a soundwave your mech can pick up on, essentially
echolocating those who don’t want to be found.
2SP, Mod, Limited (3)
Choose a Ranged weapon. When you attack with this weapon, you can expend a charge: All
hostile characters within Burst 2 of the target must make a System save or they may not
benefit from Hidden and Invisibility until the end of their next turn.

G&S-ORLANDO
Striker
In the stories, who slays the serpent? Who saves the princess? Who leads the charge? A knight
in shining armor does, of course. A knight needs honor, a knight needs speed, a knight needs
power. But there are few knights trusted with the panoply of the Orlando- G&S’ top-of-the-line
voidcombat frame. Built under commission for an Albatross Maketba, the Orlando is Grimm &
Sons’ answer to high speed combat frames from the coreward companies with notable
convergent design with the Cataphract class of mechanized frame.
As a linebreaker and high-speed cavalry unit, the Orlando is without compare, its specialized
Roncenvaux Overboosters and CURTANA Kinetic Shield allowing it a freedom on the battlefield
near unrivaled- plowing through enemy mechs, drones, and with its core charge dumped into
the engines, through entire ships. The most common license-holders for the Orlando are its
original commissioners- Knights of the Albatross who have done some great service defending
the Clanners and their colonies. Though, it is not uncommon to find the odd Orlando among the
mercenary companies who work closely with G&S, especially those dedicated to planetary
defense or the elimination of spacebound threats to colonial holdings.

G&S - SCHEHERAZADE
Controller
Once upon a time, long long ago, Old Master Grimm went and sought the Thing Beneath the
Mountain. The Thing had lived for forever and a day, and died every thousand nights, and it
knew the shape of the universe. Old Master Grimm offered the Thing a bargain, he would trade
it a thousand thousand stories, a lifetime of labor, and he would make sure it got to see all the
galaxy at the hands of the Clanners. In exchange, the Thing would serve the Clans, the Workers,
the Promise. The Thing Beneath the Mountain, its flesh made of quicksilver, its voices like silver
bells, its mind trapped in reflections- it accepted the pact, and made itself into a Mirror. The
Mirror showed Old Master Grimm a thousand and one lives he might live, and he took its advice
when he could, when he must. In time the pact would come to a certain fruition for the
Clanners and the Mirror- Scheherazade was born to defend the Clans and their colonies after
the loss of Urt-Agaan to a spontaneously generated Metavault. Though the colony was well and
truly lost, G&S used the Mirror to guide their rescue teams through the madness of the depths
to save as many of the colonists as they could.
The Clanners know not to truly trust the Mirror, for it exists to trap ideas and destinies in its
reflection, but they know the Mirror’s power can offer them sight beyond sight, reason beyond
sanity, and the esoteric powers required to defend hearth and home. Scheherazade, as a mech,
is a vessel for the Mirror and its Logic, warping fate and destiny to fit its reflections at the
behest of the pilot inside. The pilots themselves offer varying reports of deja vu, jamai vu, and
General Temporal Confusion Syndrome (GTCS); well in line with Union medical standards for
unsafe levels of paracausal energy exposure. Rarely are licenses for Scheherazade granted, and
they’re never for sale. The only way to get one is to have always had it. To look upon all the
galaxy, and see only the reflections.

Twist Logics (Mine, Blast 2)- This mine primes at the end of your turn. It can be detonated

When it detonates it creates an area of warped time within this mine's Blast that lasts until the
end of your next turn. Any character starting their turn within this area must succeed at a
Systems save or attempt the same actions they took on their previous turn. They make the
same choices for those actions (such as distance moved, or targets attacked). If, for any
reason, an affected character cannot make the same action or the same choices, such as if a
target is out of range or a system with Recharge has not yet recharged, they take all repeat
