Unit Outline:
    Named after a mythological Cardavian creature that walked on two legs and breathed fire, the Ravinot is the largest of the KCDI Ground Forces mechs.  The largest in size, it also carries a vast array of weapons that can destroy most anything out there, as well as enough armor and shielding to protect it against most anything it can't destroy.  With its mix of state of the art weaponry and the custom drive system, it is more than a match for any CE ground unit.

System Specifications:
    The primary weapons of the Ravinot are the twin Collapsar Guns located on the rear top.  Their long range combined with their incredible destructive ability makes them well liked and often used.
    To back up the twin C-guns, a single Anti-Meson Beam Gun was added just below the cockpit, and lined up center.  Though an odd weapon, it's destructive power is tremendous and is an extra heavy punch in the Ravinot's arsenal. 
    Though not as powerful as a Collapsar or an Anti-Meson Beam, the four Grasers mounted on the Ravinot are probably the most often used weapons.  They provide good power at moderate range, and the power requirements and heat generation is low. 
    The longest ranged, and perhaps the most powerful weapons carried on the Ravinot are the two, 9-tube MicroFusion missle launchers.  The twin MF-9s have an extremely long range and their accuracy is incredible, as is their destructive power. Their seeking ability allows them to easily track and shoot down aerospace vehicles.
    The final weapons on the Ravinot are two Xasers.  Simple weapons with moderate range and power, they are used against infantry mostly, but are also useful against other tanks or mechs. 
    The Ravinot is protected by 8 tons of ArMax armor, as well as a Type 15 HiCS System.  The combination of the two allows it to take almost anything and keep going.  Whatever gets through the shields is deflected by the armor.  Though not impervious, it is improbable that anything but mass amounts of concentrated fire could breach its defenses.

Operational Capabilities:
    Ravinots are the largest vehicles in the KCDI Ground Forces.  Their incredible size, speed, armor, and weapons systems allow them to go head to head with anything in the field and come out on top.  Due to their size and price, however, there aren't alot of these giants.  There are approximately 10 Spirecrofs for every 1 Ravinot in service in the KCDI Ground Forces.
