VULCAN Defense Technologies' most prolifically produced military mechanized unit, the HAV-05General Service Medium Mech represented a subtle refinement of Mech technology. The HAV-01in it's day a revolutionary combat vehicle and it's successors the HAV-03and HAV-04were considerable improvements, all of them suffered from one critical weakness: expense. While strike forces of Mechs could turn the tide of battle if used properly their utility was often limited by their high price-tag per unit, which meant that their use was limited to small elite units. This had to do with a wide variety of top of the line systems involved in their construction. In contrast the engineers in theprogram had to make do without such luxuries. Much of it's structural construction was instead of high strength molecular matrix alloys was simple structural steel. It's electronic systems were off the shelf and thoroughly simplified, it's computer systems were largely off the shelf equipment and it's servos and shock absorption systems were positively archaic. The resulting mech was at best on par with the 40 year oldand was easily outclassed by it's newer contemporaries in terms of speed, endurance, flexibility and durability. In particular it was ill suited to using energy weapons. It's biggest advantage was that threecould be procured for the cost of aand four could be acquired for the cost of a. This meant that roles generally filled by more traditional vehicles could be economically fulfilled by more traditional vehicles. Within the first three years alone some 25,000 units were delivered: equal to all Mech production which had been previously achieved. While these units were vulnerable to attacks by higher performance mechs (especially in the hands of seasoned pilots), sheer numbers often allowed forces ofto prevailSpecs

Yep, it's a mook mecha.
