| − | The Bast is a medium class electromagnetic warfare mech initially designed as a countermeasure against the Trahoxi's Republic's long ranged, energy weapon armed mechs. Armed with a powerful EMP Cannon that can fire a directed electromagtic pulse at a range of eight kilometers that Bast can utterly fry enemy electronics such as sensors, radar, targeting, and energy weapons. The Bast itself is known for being incredibly slim and and angular with highly functional heat sinks and powerful ECM designed to make the Bast incredibly difficult to target. Basts are incredibly popular with the Heliopolis Imperials who often face off against the Trahoxi Republic. |

| − | The Anubis is a high powered artillery mech made for long ranged, indirect, heavy firepower. While not very well armored the Anubis houses some of the heaviest weaponry in the entire UPD line of mech. Its quadrupedal stance also allows the Anubis to carry the much heavier load that its weapons demand from it. The main gun of the Anubis is a railgun for artillery fire against enemies at range. It also is armed with an autocannon to fend off any enemies that get too close for comfort. |

They are piloted via a neural sync system allowing them to be piloted through thought alone and eliminating the need for physical interfaces (though their cockpits are still installed with one for ease of pilot use).

This allows the Hathor to serve as air fire support unite. The main weapon of the Hathor is a powerful lasrifle for blasting at enemies on the ground. The second armament is a rocket launcher for long ranged, explosive fire power. Thanks to its small size and maneuverability the Hathor is of great use in urban environments as well. |

Pulse weapons are the most common form of weapon deployed by the United Persan Descendants and come in two types of standard pulses and pulse beams. The name pulse weapon comes from the design of rails that fire the projectiles from the weapon. The rails on pulse weapons charge with short pulses of electromagnetic energy for the precisely controlled firing of the weapons. Standard pulse weapons fire caseless kinetic ammunition while pulse beams fire streams of charged particles or anti-particles.

Phase weapons are solely composed of phase missiles and perhaps some of the most enigmatic weapons of the UPD being considered something of a signature of theirs. Phase Missiles are missiles that rely on onboard sensors to detect when they are coming upon shielding, once shields are detected the missiles drops out of phase with normal reality until it has bypassed the shields at which point it returns to realspace. Phase Missiles come in standard realspace varieties and hyperspacial cruise missiles.

Wave weapons are very similar to pulse weapons being a form of railgun, but operate somewhat differently. Instead of being charged by pulses of electromagnetic energy wave weapon's rails are charged by by a continuous wave of electromagnetism. These guns are constantly on from the movement they are turned on making them too dangerous to be used on anything other then a ship. These weapons are burst fed masses of fusion plasma to be fired as projectiles against enemies.

Self Repair Systems[]
Nanites find their way into everything the Persan do in one way or another. Colonies of these nanites infest the weapon, defensive, and other systems in all military hardware the Persan posses. These nanites remain ever vigilant monitoring the hardware for potential points of failure and dedicating repairs to prevent these failures before they occur. Should failure occur then ninites devout their resources to repairing and replacing parts to keep their hardware functioning.
Multi-Pass Shields[]
Atomic Lattice Armor[]
Persan skill and nanotechnology and nanoengineering has benefited them in many ways, especially in the areas of armor and defensive technology. The primary form of armor of the UPD forces is atomic lattice armor. This armor is made up of graphene sheets that have had their atomic lattice structures interwoven to create a nanomolecular form of chainmail, the gaps in the crystal lattice structures are filled in with a liquid suspension, and the outer layer is given extra protection in a layer of diamond micro-crystals.
