Destroid Works

BACKGROUND

Works is the manufacturing Destroid that's based on the Cheyenne II. The main points that have been improved on the Works are the removal of such things as the guns and radar, and the exchanging of the arm equipment for 5-fingered manipulators that can also be used for precise work. In addition, as Works isn't for combat, in addition to being painted in kabuso* orange and warning colours that easily standout, the Works has had warning lights installed on the shoulders. The Works was found to be useful because the base operated craft has great power and it has highly accurate manipulators. Consequently, the Works was brought into various important jobs.

Although Works was made to be lightweight, as it has an output equal to that of the Cheyenne II, Works can even transport multi-dozen t class heavy weights. Works was also used in the Macross Frontier Fleet to recover the remains of the Vajra.

COMBAT BONUSES FOR WORKS/CHEYENNE II TRAINING

As the works is not designed for combat, it is fairly easy to pilot. However, as the combat affiliated systems have been removed, the Works doesn't have a very good offensive system.
