Technical and Historical Notes

Following the success of the RPI-212 Vincent, intended as a mass production version of the Z-01 Lancelot, the design is taken back to the drawing board to refine it for full production. The end result of this redesign is the Vincent Ward, a highly efficient and powerful new production model for the Britannian military. The Ward bears many outward similarities to the pre-production Vincent, with only a few tweaks to ease production. The most obvious of these is the removal of the unusual needle blazer energy weapons, replaced with more standard stun tonfa, as well as a general streamlining of the design. First deployed during the Black Knights' battles with the eunuch rulers of the Chinese Federation, the Ward goes on to become the primary frontline unit of the Britannian Empire.
