Description/Overview:
         According to Doctor Xiang’s notes, the Jould (pronounced Joo-uhld) class of mecha was built as a defense walker for Prodono battlefactories, planetary installations, and planetoid/moon bases.  This machine also doubled as an artillery and heavy assault AGAR when used during planetary combat operations.  The Jould Type-20021 was a replacement for the Prodono Stellar Republic-built Jould Type-10001 built in the year 1.0001 Galactic Standard (399,990 BC) right at the start of the Varna era.  The newer Jould Type-20021 did away with the missile pod arms of the older Type-10001, added fusion thrusters in place of the ion engines, and used more advanced energy-resistant armor plating.  The Jould type was also used as a heavy support unit for Prodono spacenavy forces and more often than not used in conjunction with its smaller cousin, the Nymar.
         The Jould was a direct offshoot of the Nymar design and used many of the same systems as the Nymar main battlerobot.  The Jould Type-20021 used the same Obuch-Ron Type-20004 4-megawatt fusion reactor as the Nymar Type-20016 did.  This versatile fusion power plant had a 6.25-year fuel supply on the Jould Type-20021, which gave the machine more endurance than its predecessor and its smaller companion.
         The weapon systems of the Jould Type-20021 consisted of both the standard Nymar Neb-Url-Ta Type-NUT-20048 10-megawatt particle accelerator cannons and the Xergin-Tah Type-XT-20032 10-megawatt ion blaster cannons.  Unlike the Nymar, the Jould had a pair of weapon-arms that provided additional beam weaponry to the armaments of the machine.  The PAC weapons had a high degree of accuracy.
         The early Jould-type combat walkers used missile and rapid-fire laser/PHELAC weaponry in its arm pods.  The Jould type found at Alpha Centauri by the UNSC used one Glek’Rhugan Xergin-Tah Type-GRXT-20035 2-megawatt rapid-fire ion blaster cannon and one Urgoh-Tah Type-UT-20125 50-megawatt retractable disruptor gun in each arm pod.  Xiang believed that the Urgoh-Tah Type-UT-20125 was either added as a later upgrade to the Jould Type-20021 or introduced on this combat walker and then added to the Hai-Richon when it was introduced later.  He speculated this due to the fact that the disruptor weapon system used on this model of Jould was identical to the type used on the Hai-Richon battlesuit which was introduced in the year 2.0147 GS (298,530 BC), while the Jould Type-20021 was introduced in 2.0021 GS (299,790 BC), some 1260 years before the Hai-Richon.
         The engines of the Jould Type-20021 were similar to the Nymar.  The Jould Type-20021 used one Moi-Kai MK-84 walker engine as its main leg propulsion.  This walker engine propelled the mecha along at speeds of up to 40 miles per hour, which was considered slow compared to the Nymar, but adequate for the mission parameters of the Jould, according to Xiang’s research.
         The flight propulsion system of the Jould Type-20021 consisted of a pair of Gruel Khan GK-7.5 7.5-megawatt fusion thrusters.  These engines were capable of pushing the combat walker at speeds of 190,000 mph per engine or 380,000 mph total in space.  Unfortunately, the Jould was not aerodynamic enough for high-speed atmospheric flight due to friction, and was limited to speeds of only 6,000 mph maximum.  The lack of aerodynamic streamlining required that the Jould Type-20021 be transported to and from a planet with an atmosphere via a dropship transport or other craft capable of achieving orbit.
         Like its little cousin the Nymar, the Jould Type-20021 was a fully capable spacecraft and had a series of vernier thrusters all over the craft, which were used in conjunction with the gravitational control unit of the mecha to provide a high degree of control in the vacuum of space outside a planet’s gravity.
         As with the Nymar, the Jould Type-20021 did not use a Neural Link System, and therefore had to rely on its own mechanical capabilities and the skill of the pilot to use the machine.
         The Jould was built in moderately large numbers, according to Doctor Xiang’s findings. The ratio of Jould types to Nymar types was about three Nymars for every one Jould.  Thus, a typical dropship complement of walkers would be comprised of five Jould types and fifteen Nymar types.
         Untold numbers of these machines were built during the Prodono Republic, and even into what Xiang called the Prodono Federation.  How long the Jould Type-20021 was built is also unknown; what is known is that it was still in production as of 2.0306 GS (296,940 BC Earth Relative).

BONUSES/PENALTIES:
TERRAIN: NONE
ENVIRONMENT: The Jould uses a combination of vernier control thrusters and gravitational control for maneuvering in space. This makes the vehicle very maneuverable in a vacuum environment (+3 to dodge outside of a gravity well/while in open space).
SPECIAL SYSTEMS: The Type-NUT-20048 PACs were used for close-medium range assault, while the blasters were normally used for medium-long range attacks. Both beam weapon types were only moderately powerful but very accurate (+2 to hit with both types).
