The unnamed Knightmare Transport Rocket is a unusual form of Knightmare transport used by the Seven Shining Stars and the Nameless Mercenaries to bypass the defences of Abashiri Prison.
Design and Specifications[]
The Knightmare Transport Rocket is a retrofitted ballistic rocket that has been turned into a very unusual piece of knightmare transportation. A one-off use vehicle, the rocket had handlebars wielded onto to the mainframe, to ensure that the expected knightmare in question, the Zi-Apollo, could securely mount and steer it.
The rocket itself is mounted on a Rocket Truck, which propels it forwards with its own booster rockets at tremendous speed, before being launched at sufficient velocity. Steering the rocket is done via weight-application, with the knightmare leaning its weight on either side to change trajectory. The sheer speed ensures that the rider could close-in the distance of Abashiri Prison as well as act as decoy once the knightmare is within distance to dismount.
However, the sheer velocity and expected g-force means that only accomplished knightmare or aircraft pilots trained in these environments could withstand the pressure. Those not trained such as Sakuya Sumeragi, would promptly faint from the increased blood pressure.
Trivia[]
- The odd setup of both the rocket, knightmare and truck means that it is literally a vehicle, transporting a vehicle, transporting a vehicle.
