Following the success of the RPI-212 Vincent, intended as a mass production version of the Z-01 Lancelot, the design was taken back to the drawing board to refine it for full production. The end result of this redesign was the RPI-212B Vincent Ward, a highly efficient and powerful new production model for the Britannian military. The Ward bore many outward similarities to the pre-production Vincent, with only a few tweaks to ease production. The most obvious of these was 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 went on to become the primary frontline unit of the Britannian Empire.
