Cards of Days: Blau Support Units and Mont Blaukluger

[AUTO](RC):When this unit attacks, if you have a vanguard with "Blau" in its card name, this unit gets [Power]+3000 until end of that battle.



シュタルカー・ヴィント Starker Wind

"A Strong Wind", a powerful enemy that stands in the way."

ノヴァグラップル黎明期に開発された最もポピュラーな補給機を、「ギャラクシー・ファイト」でも使用できるよう改造した機体。 従来から対応していた地上戦・空中戦はもちろん、宇宙戦においても「強風（ヴィント）」の名に恥じない高い機動性を誇る。 巨大な補給ユニットを運ぶ為の高い機動力を得た代償として、装甲は従来機より若干薄くなっており、武装に至っては肩口の中口径粒子砲2門以外は全て取り外されている。 つまりは戦闘を行う為の性能をほとんど持ち合わせていないので、敵に狙われたらひたすら逃げるしかない。 前述の理由からパイロット育成にうってつけの機体という補給機らしからぬ評価をされており、曰く1年乗っていれば5年分の操縦技術が身に着くと言われている。 風に翻弄されるようでは、蒼兵に搭乗する事など夢のまた夢。 「強風」は若きバトロイド乗り達の登竜門なのだ。

This machine is a mecha modified for use in the “Galaxy Fights”, and has been the most popular refueling machine since the inception of the “Nova Grappler” league. Due to being incredibly mobile in both ground, aerial and spatial combat where it serves as support, it has come to be known as “Wind”, a title this machine carries proudly. At the cost of its high speed and carrying all the supplies it does, its armor is thinner than most mecha, and all weapons have been removed except for a pair of mid-caliber particle cannons attached to its shoulders. In other words, because it isn’t meant to handle combat, it has no choice but to run once it becomes an enemy target. Because of the above mentioned fact, it’s been found that unlike most supply machines, its body is ideal for training mecha pilots, as you will gain five years of worth of maneuverability training by piloting this machine for one year. Capable of toying with the enemy as if it were the wind, for many, boarding this blue soldier turns out to be beyond their wildest dreams. This “Strong Wind” is the gateway Battleroid for many young pilots.



ポラール・シュテルン Polar Stern

"That is the unmoving center, the Polaris Ring Arena."

「ブラウ」シリーズのサポートメカとして開発された量産機の元祖。 武装は二挺の粒子ライフルとブレードのみ。 戦いの際に取れる選択肢は少ないものの、扱いやすくコストパフォーマンスが高いと評判の機体。 初期「ブラクリューガー」のエネルギーユニット「Sterm（シュテルン）」の試用実験を同機体でとり行っていた事にあやかって、北極星という大仰な名が付けられたという。 基本的には他の系列機同様パイロットが必要だが、高性能のAIを搭載すれば無人での運用も可能となっている。 つまり一般に流通しているAIの性能が上がれば上がるほど、この機体の格そのものが上がる、という訳である。 この時期のバトロイドは性能と戦績以外で評価される事が少なかった為、このような目立ち方をした例は非常に珍しい。 歴史に名を残す偉大で平凡な量産機。 それがこの「ポラール・シュテルン」なのだ。

The original machine of the Mechas produced as supporters of the “Blau” series. It’s armed with only two particle rifles and its sword. While it offers few options in term of combat, it’s a machine well known for being cost-effective and incredibly easy to handle. After a trial experiment of the energy unit “Sterm” (Star) used by the original Blaukluger, this machine came to be known as “Polar Stern”. Like the other machines from the same production line, it basically requires a pilot to drive it, but it can work on its own if it’s installed with a high-performance AI. In other words, the more high-performance AI there are in circulation, the more likely it is that Polar Stern is flying itself. Because current Battleroids are rarely evaluated on anything but their performance in battle, it’s very rare to see this, honestly. The greatest run-of-the-mill mass-produced machine in history. That’s “Polar Stern”.



グローセ・ベーア Große Bär

"This is the indicator of the Pole, the Big Dipper Ring Arena"

元は「ブラウ」シリーズのサポートメカとして開発される予定だった機体。 先にロールアウトされた兄弟機「ポラール・シュテルン」が、低コスト量産機としての地位を完全に確立してしまった為、同機体は別の道を歩む事になった。 エネルギータンクと直結させる事でロングレンジ砲撃も可能とする収束粒子ライフルを主武装とし、常に装甲と装甲の隙間を縫うようなライン上のガードを展開。 さらに脚部と背部に計4門の大出力ブースターを搭載と、火力・防御力・機動力、「ブラウ」シリーズと比べても遜色の無い性能を誇る――重装機兵「グローセ・ベーア」の誕生である。 惜しむらくは、当初の目的であった量産に全くと言っていいほど向かなくなってしまった事か。 しかし、製造数の少なさから後に幻の機体としてマニア間において法外な価格で取引されるようになる事を、この頃の関係者たちは知る由も無い……。

A machine originally designed to serve as a support unit to the “Blau” series. It’s the brother machine that was rolled out after “Polar Stern”, but since its sibling had already cornered the market as a cheap mass-produced machine, this machine followed another path. Its main weapon is a particle rifle that can be used for long-range fire if you connect it to an energy tank, so it generally serves as a guard on the line that covers for the holes in the group’s armor. With Its 4 high output boosters on its back and legs, it is capable of incredible performance in terms of heat, defense and mobility that is comparable to the “Blau” series… … This lead to the creation of the Heavy Infantry Mechanical Soldier “Große Bär” (Ursa Major). Unfortunately, this is not enough for it be mass produced for its original purpose. However, a few of these illusive machines were built for some maniacs at an exorbitant price, but those involved in building them don’t quite know *why*…



[AUTO] Limit Break 4 (This ability is active if you have four or more damage):When a «Nova Grappler» rides this unit, choose your vanguard, and until end of turn, that unit gets [Power]+10000 and "[AUTO](VC):[Counter Blast (1)] When this unit attacks a vanguard, you may pay the cost. If you do, [Stand] all of your «Nova Grappler» rear-guards.".
[AUTO](VC):When this unit is boosted by a «Nova Grappler», this unit gets [Power]+2000 until end of that battle.
[CONT](VC/RC): Lord (If you have a unit without a same clan as this unit, this unit cannot attack)

モーント・ブラウクリューガー Mond Blaukluger

"The moon always changes. On one day, it shines brighter than anything else."

ノヴァグラップルの黎明期、「ギャラクシー・ファイト」発足時に製造された「ブラウクリューガー」の発展型。 正式な呼称はBK-04M「モーント」。 自機のサポートとして使役する端末兵器、その中でも当代最高の性能を誇ると言われた空間制圧ユニット【デーゲン】を搭載した機体。 完全自動の端末兵器と違い、手動での操作も可能な【デーゲン】は、高い水準の「空間把握能力」「操縦技術」「反応速度」を持つ者が操った場合、単調なAIに操縦を委ねた時の実に7倍近くにまで及ぶ性能を発揮するという。 が、現パイロット以外に使いこなせる者がいないというあまりにピーキーな機体でもあり、次機の開発も視野に入れられていない。 どれだけ強力な機体も、操る者が無能なら駄馬も同じ。 だからこそ、逆もまた然り。 相応しき主を得たその機体は、唯その名を主張するかの如く、輝かしい戦歴を刻み続ける。

A successor to “Blaukluger” who was produced when the “Galaxy Fights” were established back in the early days of the “Nova Grapplers” league. Its official designation is the BK-04M “Mond”. Its frame is equipped with the Spatial Control Unit “Degen” (Rapier), a computer terminal weapon which is said to be one of the strongest of its generation. Unlike fully automated weapons like this, “Degen” can be operated manually by someone with a good sense of spatial perception, a good handle on maneuvering technology and good reaction time. A truly talented individual controlling it can increase its performance to nearly 7 times its limits if you entrusted it to a simple, dull A.I. But, it’s a mecha that basically is too high-performance for anyone other than its current pilot to be able to drive, so it’s currently unlikely further models will be developed. No matter how powerful the mecha is, if its pilot is a buffoon, it’s a piece of shit. And visa versa. As long as it has a suitable pilot, it’ll continue to have a long line of illustrious victories befitting its name.
