While the initial attacks against the shielded mechs of the Pima Defenders yielded results, this was just the prelude to a greater assault.
The Larkinson mech pilot had already become familiar with the enemy mech models. They had tested the defenses of mechs such as the Modal Firmament many times with the help of the MSTS.
Surprisingly enough, the performance of the Modal Firmament based on leaked intelligence and educated guesses did not diverge that much from the actual performance of the defensive space knights fielded by the Pima Defenders!
The relatively slow and lumbering mechs did not possess the capability to execute any elaborate tactics, so their pilots could do relatively little to amplify the performance of their machines.
This meant that the Avatars only needed to take the technical capabilities of the Modal Firmament into account!
