The Archon Project was a series of projects by Principality of Near Earth Orbitals scientists to create a powerful Heavy Mech.
After Operation British failed to destroy the Earth Federation Forces military headquarters in Jaburo, South America, the NEO began to pursue other, more direct ways, of trying to destroy the subterranean base. The "Archon Project", directed by NEO scientist Wilhelm Reich, was perhaps one of the most feasible of the plans to destroy Jaburo, and so it was given funding priority. The main idea of the plan involved getting a mobile armor to fly over Jaburo and destroy the base with a powerful beam weapon.
Archon I
The first phase of the Archon Project involved creating the massive Heavy Battle Mech that could operate in the upper atmosphere or low-Earth space orbit. To achieve atmospheric flight the Archon used the Minovsky Craft System, which created a highly concentrated cushion of Minovsky Particles between the Heavy Mech and the Earth, providing lift.
The Archon I, built in a NEO mountain base in Southeast Asia, served as the test-bed for the Minovsky Craft System. Built with many spare parts from old Zakus, the Archon required a very powerful generator to run its Minovsky Craft System. Built under the direct supervision of Wilhelm Reich, the Apsalus I would be piloted by his sister, Uta Reich, on its test flight. During flight tests the Archon I was proved to be flight capable, but the generators output was not sufficient enough to keep the Archon I at a stable height. Due to its role as a test unit the Archon I had no armaments, but it was able to manipulate the Minovsky Craft System to release powerful energy pulses over a short area that could be used as a defensive ability.
During one test flight the Archon I lost altitude and was severely damaged when it came under attack from the Earth Federation Forces 23rd Battle Mech Team, which was on a routine patrol through the area. Heavily damaged, the Archon I later crash landed in a small village where it stayed until it was repaired and was flown back to the NEO mountain base.
Archon II
After test results proved that the Minovsky Craft System could work, Wilhelm Reich started work on the second phase of the Archon Project, which was to create the powerful beam weapon which would destroy Jaburo as the Archon flew in the upper atmosphere high above the base. The Archon II fine-tuned the Minovsky Craft System, which granted the Heavy Mech much more stable atmospheric flight capabilities. The Archon II was also used to begin the testing of a powerful mega particle cannon, which was capable of blasting large swaths of destruction through anything it fired on, even solid rock.
The Archon II was tested in the deserts of Southeast Asia, but information of these tests were leaked to the Earth Federation by the local population of the area. The 23rd Battle Mech Team was dispatched to ambush, and attempt to capture, the Archon II and after laying in wait for several days they were able to spring their trap. The Archon II was severely damaged by Federation pilot Zachary Villhansmann, and the unit fled with Zach's Battle Mech still clinging to its hull. The Archon II crash landed in the Himalayan Mountain Range and was later self-destructed by Uta Reich to prevent the Earth Federation from capturing the unit intact.
ARCHON III
After the Archon II was lost Reich began work on the final version of the Archon Project, the Archon III. Wilhelm Reich, is driven by a mad determination to see his project completed. The Archon III will be the culmination of all of the test data of the previous two Archon units and it will be over twice the size of the original two units. To compensate for balance problems in flight the Archon III mounts two Minovsky Craft Systems, one on each side of its body located on spider-like legs that could be lowered away from the main body to anchor the unit in place when firing close to the ground. Also, to overcome the problem of insufficient energy the Archon III mounted three Minovsky generators instead of one.
