Designation:

Holto Queadluun Power Armor

I. Dimensions:

II. Type:

• Design: Fubgrom Design Firm
• Builder: Varoius builders.
• One man, all weather aerospace/ground combat command mecha.

III. Service Histroy:

• Served with all branches of the Zentraedi Imperial Forces from 2055 onward.

IV. Propulsion:

Thrusters:

• 2 x Varshtanna Type-346 plasma-shock expansion engines with vectorable exhaust. The thrusters are located in the back. Each has a maximum output of 500 kN.
• Quadlum Quiltra specific Inertia Vector Control System (IVCS). A large number of exhaust ports are located over the surface of the mecha, with two large exhausts to the sides of the chest and in the feet, and minor exhausts in all limbs and the main body. The IVCS is fed from the main engines.

Generator:

• 1 x X'terra miniaturized fusion-cell energizer providing electrical power to the mecha. Total output, 4000 kW.

Fuel Capacity:

• 20 Standard Canisters of Reaction Mass
• Four graphite reactant cores for plasma engines.

V. Performance:

VI. Sensory Systems:

Radar tracking:

• Hyzan IFF UWB phased array with spherical coverage, for various scan/track, battlefield surveillance and counterbattery options.
• Hyzan IFF secondary surveillance transponder

Optical tracking:

• Bardaz multi-band digital camera system, for short range traversable UV, infra-red imaging and optical band detection and tracking;
• Bardaz multi-frequency laser ranger and designator.

Tactical Electronic Warfare System (TEWS):

• Hyzan Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)
• Hyzan Infra-red Warning Receiver (IRWR)
• Y'terk Active sensor jammer
• Chaff and flare dispenser

VII. Armament:

Cannon:

• 2 x Makral Mossil-43 plasma cannons: Located on the either shoulder with a traverse of 75 degrees and elevation of -35 to 75 degrees. The cannon can fire a plasma beam with a yield of 85 MJ every five seconds; or a 10.2 MJ beam every second.
• 6 x Makharz Vawnous-18 particle beam/pulse cannons: Mounted in two clusters of three cannons, one in each arm hidden behind an armor plate rising only when firing.  In pulse mode, each cannon fired particles discs ('annihilation discs') at 4000 m/s to a maximum effective range of 8 km. In beam mode, each cannon fired a particle beam. Typically, the cannons fired in series when in beam mode and in parallel when in pulse mode. In both modes the yield of each cannon was 5.2 MJ per second.
• 2 x Makharz Vawnous-5 55mm autocannons: Mounted on the torso of the mecha, each firing at 800 rounds per minute, and each cannon has a 480 round belt feed. Ammunition is a mix of Tungsten-coated depleted Uranium Armor Piercing Spin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot (APSSDS), High Explosive Armor Piercing (HEAP) and tracer rounds.

Melee Weapon:

• 2 x Iledran-3 .40 MW tachyon saber: Mounted on quick release racks in the power armor's wrist, the beam sabers can be drawn and activated within 0.24 seconds by an experienced pilot.  This beam saber contains enough energy and tachyons for about 60 seconds of continuous use. When not in use, the beam sabers are stored in the wrists, where they are recharged by the reactor. The sabers can be switched on and off while holding it, in order to conserve power. Once totally depleted it takes 25 minute for a beam saber to recharge to full capacity.

Missile Launcher:

• 2 x Z'tral Wuxert-8 missile launchers in the hips. The circular launcher for ZRA-2 Ilari had 21missiles in launch position, and no reloads for a total of 42 missiles.
• 2 x Z'tral Wuxert-7 missile launchers in the shoulders. The circular launcher for ZRA-2 Ilari had 21 missiles in launch position, and 21 reload missiles stored behind these for a total of 84 missiles.

VIII. Armor:

The armor on the Quadlum Quiltra is a low-mass tungsten composite plating that is the standard for most Zentraedi mecha. Aside from the fair protection provided against projectiles, missiles, and other kinetic weapons, this armor is also has limited resistance to plasma globes (annihilation discs), lasers, and fair against, particle guns too, owing to the fact that the armor can flake off and evaporate in layers under fire from such high-energy weapons, taking much of the weapon's energy and converting it into the latent heat of sublimation in the armor. The armor stops all small arms fire, and has fair resistance to all weapons commonly mounted on combat mecha.

The Quadlum Quiltra provided full protection from nuclear, biological, and chemical hazards, using a sealed cockpit environment. The internal consumables supplies could provide breathable atmosphere for four days maximum.
