E-SPT-DL-X Doll

In 1996, the conventional power of Earth’s militaries proved completely inferior to the technological might of the Gradosian SPT. As a result, the Gradosian Empire conquered the planet and began a harsh occupation. In late 1999, Dr. Elizabeth Clabery and John Gilbert secretly worked in an underground factory to develop Earth’s first native SPT, the E-SPT-DL-X Doll. The Doll’s design was created by reverse engineering a captured SPT-BV-15C Braver and SPT-DT-25C Dtol. The Doll borrowed the wheels used by the Dtol for ground combat, with a twist. The Doll’s backpack allowed for atmospheric flight, but it could also detach and serve as a ground mobility aid with its wheels. The Doll’s armaments included a pair of knuckle shots and a 2-barrel lasered rifle. Eiji Asuka served as a test pilot to work out the Doll’s mobility problems during its development. In October, David Rutherford revealed the Doll’s existence to the world by using an incomplete unit in battle to rescue Julia Asuka. The completed Dolls made their formal combat debut on December 30 when deployed to protect the Seal of Grados at Peru’s Nazca Lines.
