Enforcer

Kuat's main-line combat walker, and a competitor to the KN-Series. Whereas the KN-Series take a "tankfantry" approach, the Enforcer is unabashedly more of a walking tank. Whereas some countries like the flexibility and variety of tactical options offered by the KN, some prefer the simplicity of the "Enforcer brick."

The center of the mech is spherelike, with legs and arms attached. The Enforcer does not have hands; each arm ends in a 60 mm "Lion" autocannon. The underside of the sphere has twin Small Lucent Beam (SLBs) considered sufficient for close-in anti-infantry work. A missile rack sits atop the "sphere", typically kitted out with anti-armor missiles. The top weapons are on a turret with 360 degree rotation.

The Enforcer's armament tends to make it a bit of a "bully" on the battlefield, capable of quickly tearing through hordes of lighter class enemies but struggling against enemies with very heavy armor.

A number of militaries experimented with both these and the KN-Series, however the largest user of Enforcer is Tasnica's own Republic Marine Corps, which commissioned a special variant with handholds allowing it to take battlesuited infantry into battle.

A common Enforcer tactic is "the Brick", with all of the mecha deployed close together to support each other. Since each mecha has a full field of fire because of the rotation of its turret and is armored all around, "the Brick" is all but impossible to flank and must either be dealt with at range.

The Enforcer has been criticized by Kuat's various rivals. One Kohlingen Newpound engineer derided the Enforcer as "typical Kuat, the took a box, gave it legs, and added a bunch of guns." An Dracoforms Service pilot poo-pooed the Enforcer as "like a shitty Zog. No, more like half of a shitty Zog." These kinds of things make Damien Gavalian cry himself to sleep on a bed of money.
