The CCRTR Gibbon is the power armor of the Order of the New Dawn. The Order power armor carries powerful plasma cannons mounted on their backs. They are massive units that are able to entrench themselves, giving them even more protection.

Background[]

The Gibbon, so named because of the armors resemblance to a simian, is the Orders first foray into powered armor production. Thus far, the Armor has proven very useful and powerful in combat. The armor, which boasts a retrofitted Rover 8005 battle engine, moves quite quickly for such a large suit. The armor is extremely flexible, using Plasteel plates and an experimental flex-skeleton. The pilot does not fit directly inside the suit. He is seated in a gyro-stabilized seat in the "hump" of the suit allowing him to see out the visor. Just above the pilot is the Plasma accelerator cannon, which is powered from the mini-reactor housed in the armors stomach. The Gibbon is able to entrench itself thus protecting it greatly from incoming attacks, however it cannot move at all when entrenched.

The Gibbon is able to traverse difficult terrain far easier than most tanks and add the protective benefit to the infantry troops. Gibbon armor is proving cheaper to produce than main battle hoverdynes, and with their protection and freedom of terrain, the armor is quickly becoming popular with many field commanders.[1]
