Notes/History
The two mecha units that form the Mars Team are known to have been created by the Protectorate to deal with Alphas that can grow in size and thus cannot be contained by “normal” means. In their first incarnation they used a biped type Mecha. However these proved to present too much of a target for the types of Alpha that they hoped to contain. They were also quite an easy target for military assets attempting to stop the rogue unit.
After several years of activities when the Protectorate elected to upgrade the Mecha with new tech to deal with the vulnerabilities, the group elected to retire the units and change tactics. Taking a lead from the vigilante group Beetle Drive, the organisation built two lower profile arachnid inspired mechs in the shape of Scorpions. Though still substantial in size they presented less of a vertical target. They were also far more heavily armed. Unlike before with the Bipeds that were designed to capture Alphas, the weapon systems on the “Skorpid” attack Mecha were built to disable and contain a target long enough for a clean up crew to extract and transport the victim. The weapons were also more than capable of defending against military attack.
Whilst Mars is definitely a Protectorate asset it seems that on more than once occassion the organisation has “loaned” them out since there have been notable times when the units have been deployed in a support role to other groups. The general trend is that they will work with other people who are dealing with what the Protectorate might consider “dangerous alphas”.
