Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Dragoon Battle Armor

The Dragoon Battle Armor is an Grey Steel infantry unit. Planned to be voiced by.

Overview
Along with other Order walkers, "Dragoon" Battle Walkers were designed by a prodigy of the Forgemasters, Aperta Scriptum. These machines are eight-foot tall armoured suits, capable of carrying two weapons on its arms, from broadswords to small artillery such as 17 pounder guns. The Dragoon's Talon Steel armour plates would keep it safe from harm at any distance; at the time it was unthinkable that anything could penetrate its outer shell.

Parallels were quickly made to armoured knights, an analog that appealed greatly to the Templar order...

Short story
Journal of an unknown (Austrian) soldier during the Hawke War, the (Serbian) front, 1915 V.C.:

"What I am about to write is the cruelest thing I have ever seen. My battalion and I were dispatched to the Serbian front. Mostly it was being force marched a kilometer one day, and the next day the Serbians pushed us from there. It continued day after day, week after week, month after month. It was like a hell on Gaiaterra. Every day one of my friends died, and from what I heard from other soldiers the same happened in the whole of Eorzea.

''Well, I don't want to write about what was going on in Eorzea; probably everyone who will read this will know it themselves. I want to write about what happened that one day. I was alone in the forest after a large battle. I was lost, and I was searching for my battalion. To my surprise, when I came out of the forest and saw a battle. No, it wasn't a battle, it was a massacre. I saw two parties, which definitely weren't (Austrian) or Aselian soldiers and some others who weren't (Serbians). These two parties were fighting for a large shrine, and one of the sides was wiping out the other with weapons I never heard of.''

''This group consisted of armored men armed with rifles, heavily armored knights with large cannons, and bipedal nine-foot large machines armed with autocannons and large melee weapons, all in black and silver colors. They mercilessly killed anyone from the other side, also wearing black clothes, along with symbols depicting a red hand.''

''These machines killed anyone that got in their way. Their machine guns tore through the ones in black and red, and when anyone got too close to one of these machines, it would slam him down and stomp on him. It was a cruel battle.''

''The firing stopped and I watched, when mysterious figures went into the temple. Meanwhile, those machines were looking for any survivors. The rest of their forces gathered all the corpses and took them to the temple. Soon, the figures left the temple and the knights pointed their guns at the temple and started firing on it.''

''The temple burst into a terrible inferno, even as the knights turned away to leave. I observed that scene, so shocked by it that I couldn't even move. The soldiers in black disappeared, and it took me ten minutes until I was could get a hold of myself. I was so afraid that I didn't look closely. After two days I found my battalion, but I haven't told them about that incident. I was sure they wouldn't believe me. The only place where I mentioned anything of the event is in this journal, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."''
