Origins
Syndicate operatives were made aware of an Osakami Sein AI core in transit to a research station far from the protection of the Dracovirum’s core system. A light escort and guard soon gave way, and this “prize” was hastily set upon by the best minds available. It wasn’t discovered until far into the production phase that the main governing AI core was in fact a dud, a suite of defunct accounting algorithms repurposed to warfare.
Morphology, Traits and Proclivities
Sturdy, bulky and mass produced. These are the commonalities all Gnatus weapon platforms share. Whereas the Osakami are purpose built and the Hanakane are engineering excellence, a Duodecim Gnatus is functional engineering at its finest. Overcoming their logistical and computational limitations with high output and high production, allows them to stay relevant on the battlefield.
Sizes range from incredibly massive to merely gargantuan, with few exceptions.
