ExoTech Industries Aldebaran

ExoTech Industries is known for producing the most agile mech units on the battlefield. This is their finest offering yet. The Aldebaran exemplifies its weight class. A light mech suited for escort, reconnaissance, and hit-and-run missions, the Aldebaran can punch well above its weight. It's equipped with a drum-fed 14.5 mm machine gun on each arm, laser cannons below the guns, a back-mounted mortar, and state-of-the-art sensors.

As significant as the Aldebaran's success are the odd rumors surrounding it. Some pilots say the machine feels alive to them, and responds as if it has its own will. Although it has standard combat AI, the behaviors it is said to exhibit deviate greatly from normal parameters. A pilot who fell asleep in the machine after a weekend liberty that involved too much whiskey said that the machine sang him to sleep. Others darkly say that the Aldebaran absorbs its pilots' souls. These rumors are classed as disinformation by the Secretary of Military Procurement.
