Jack of Harts

Staggered by the extraordinary mobility of Western Alliance designs during skirmishes in the outer colonies, the Chinese Army ordered a new cavalry mech competition. The submitted designs were underwhelming and the general in charge locked the chief designers inside a secure facility and informed them they would give him a design in three days or play a rousing game of Russian Roulette with an AK-955. A prototype concept that would become the Iron Rider cavalry mech convinced the general to send them home with a bonus and a reminder to remain silent. War was coming after all, and the Chinese planned to surprise their American foes. They did.
