NX-Type Armour
Powerplant: Darkonium-Type Fusion Reactor
Overview:
The Black Dragon Brotherhood is an association of Guylos pilots and officers who are opposed to the Zenebas influence within the empire, seeing it as being a threat. Most of its members are descendants of the original inhabitants of the Dark continent who see themselves as being the “true” people of the Guylos empire. (Presumably as opposed to the peoples of the former Zenebas empire absorbed by Guylos in the ZAC 2050s)
The Darkhorn AT is a variant of the Darkhorn used by the Black Dragons. Equipped with an Imperial Hyperbeam Cannon, the same weapon used by the Iron Kong PK, it features enhanced firepower, allowing it to take on even the most powerful of opposing Zoids. Additionally, many of its subsystems have been modified or tuned, allowing the reactor to gain greater output and manage with the added weight of the cannon, but also makes it prone to overheating if pushed too hard for too long.
NAR-831-06F is assigned to captain Ashleigh Thorne, an ace pilot and member of the Black Dragons. Like many of the black Dragons, she sees the Zenebas people as being weak, coming form the Central Continent while her own ancestors came from the far harsher environment of Nyx. Vengeful and bitter, she is known to be ruthless in battle against the Neo-Zenebas forces.
The Zoid itself is a curiosity; whereas most extant Darkhorns are vintage units left over from the first Guylos-Hellic war, NAR-831-06F was apparently manufactured in the last ten years. Whether this means that the Empire has found a new source of Darkonium to manufacture Dark Zoids with is unknown, but it bears further investigation.
[FishNotes: This one started out as a “testbed” for various customising techniques; the net result was that I was left with a NAR Darkhorn with several painted highlights. This was combined with a CP-03 that had been ruined in a de-chroming experiment. A new coat of paint and some added details meant that it matched the Zoid nicely. The Imperial Hyperbeam Cannon was added in an attempt to create something akin to Harry Champ’s Darkhorn form Zoids:NC0 without modifying the parts; in this case a connector from a Guysack did the job.]
[Yes, I know it's not that "custom" but I don't care. It looks cool.]
