Helios Sovereignty Mechs
→ See also: The Helios Sovereignty
Sovereignty machines are prestige weapons as much as battlefield assets: imposing, polished, and expensive, with elite formations built around decisive strikes and symbols of noble power.
Sovereignty mechs are slightly easier to transport and deploy than comparable mechs from other factions. Some Sovereignty mechs also have jump capabilities.

Mech Entries
Assault
- Dark Knight (DK-2R, 700 tons): The Dark Knight carries an aura of dread deliberately cultivated by Sovereignty engineers. Long-range energy weapons paired with a heavy laser give it punishing reach, while its sinister name and black-lacquered armor turn it into an icon of fear. Where the Dark Knight walks, rebellion tends to wither.
- Excalibur (EX-3R, 750 tons): Few names carry more weight than Excalibur, and the Sovereignty bestowed it upon this duelist’s chassis. Armed with MACs, lasers, and rockets, it was designed for decisive, theatrical victories. Excaliburs often lead tournament fields, their pilots draped in noble colors, striking as much for honor as for conquest.
- Lionheart (LHR-5T, 800 tons): The Lionheart epitomizes Sovereignty nobility: powerful, courageous, and unflinching. With heavy lasers, rockets, and long-range cannons, it dominates battlefields while bearing crests of golden lions. More than a weapon, it is a living coat of arms, proof that Sovereignty bloodlines rule by strength and valor.
Brawler
- Legionnaire (LGN-A, 500 tons): The Legionnaire was mass-produced during Sovereignty campaigns to enforce order in the Core. Fitted with a medium MAC, missiles, and lasers, it is a versatile soldier’s machine. The name recalls the legions of ancient empires—disciplined, unstoppable, and loyal to the Sovereignty above all else.
- Herald (HRL-6D, 550 tons): Where nobles feared assassination or insurrection, Heralds were deployed. Heavy armor and powerful missile barrages made them excellent protectors of VIPs and sacred sites. To this day, Sovereignty rulers keep Heralds in their personal retinues, their name a constant reminder of paternal care—and veiled threat.
- Paladin (PLDN-00C, 550 tons): A mech wrapped in religious and chivalric symbolism, the Paladin was designed to embody the Sovereignty’s holy mandate. Rockets for righteous fury, lasers for guiding light, and a MAC to deliver judgment. In battle, it is as much a sermon as a weapon, reminding allies and enemies alike of the Sovereignty’s divine right to rule.
Cavalry Striker
- Icarus (ICS-3G, 250 tons): The Icarus embodies Sovereignty daring and hubris—fast, jump-capable, and armed with rockets for dramatic strikes. Though lightly armored, its theatrics earned it glory in countless tournaments. Pilots know the cautionary tale of its name, but many still fly it recklessly, chasing the sun of renown.
- Messenger (MSG-1R, 250 tons): A swift harasser and scout, the Messenger relies on jump jets and missile bursts to unsettle lighter foes. Its role is to deliver a clear message on the battlefield—that Sovereignty forces are advancing, and their arrival is inevitable.
- Pegasus (PGS-H, 350 tons): Inspired by myth, the Pegasus was designed as an aerial duelist, its jump jets giving it a graceful leap few others could match. Bristling with light and medium lasers, it dances around heavier foes, striking with elegance. In parades as in battle, the Pegasus is prized as a symbol of Sovereignty’s radiant majesty.
- Warden (WRD-N1, 450 tons): Where the Sentry watches, the Warden intervenes. Agile for its size, it was built to guard noble households and convoy routes. Its heavy laser and missiles strike with authority, while its name reinforces Sovereignty propaganda: every subject is safe under noble protection—so long as they remain loyal.
Fire Support
- Sentry (SN-21, 400 tons): The Sentry was built for watchful dominance, its long-range high energy cannon and missile banks intended to hold borders in clear view. It lacks mobility, but its very presence is a deterrent, projecting Sovereignty vigilance. Many noble estates still keep a Sentry posted at their gates, a statue of steel as much as a guardian.
- Protector (PRO-T1, 600 tons): The Protector was created as a battlefield shield for Sovereignty banners. Mixing heavy lasers with rockets and missiles, it can blunt enemy advances while rallying allies. Noble houses often decorate Protectors with gilded heraldry, ensuring that their role as both bulwark and symbol is unmistakable.
Line Mech
- Lamplighter (LLT-6Y, 450 tons): A mech named for illumination, the Lamplighter was created to pierce darkness both literal and symbolic. Its long-range energy cannon and array of lasers allow it to light up a battlefield from afar. To the Sovereignty, deploying Lamplighters is an act of enlightenment, burning away shadows of rebellion with radiant fire.
Superheavy Assault
- Lancelot (LNC-10T, 850 tons): The Lancelot was built to combine elegance with battlefield dominance. Its MAC and missile systems give it both reach and crushing power, while its lasers keep foes at bay. No Sovereignty parade is complete without a Lancelot striding at the fore, the paragon of chivalric warfare.
- Colossus (COL-U5, 900 tons): Massive and imposing, the Colossus is a walking fortress designed to awe as much as destroy. Mounting a heavy MAC alongside multiple lasers, it crushes resistance under overwhelming firepower. Wherever a Colossus is deployed, it is as much a proclamation as an army—Sovereignty power manifest in steel.
- Great Sword (SWRD-001, 900 tons): The Great Sword is the Sovereignty’s answer to the Union’s brute heavies: less subtle, more theatrical. Quad MACs and paired heavy lasers strike with the force of a descending blade. Its very silhouette evokes a weapon raised for the killing blow, a message that Sovereignty justice is swift and merciless.
- Monarch (MON-A7, 950 tons): The Monarch was never just a war machine—it was designed as a throne of iron for Sovereignty lords. With missile arrays and heavy lasers, it wields devastating power while carrying the regalia of its house. To see a Monarch on the field is to witness Sovereignty authority embodied, its very name leaving no doubt of who rules.
- Olympian (OLYM-D, 1000 tons): The Olympian is the pinnacle of Sovereignty design philosophy: mythic in name, majestic in presence, and terrible in power. With MACs, long-range cannons, missiles, and lasers, it commands every battlefield range. Sovereignty propaganda hails it as proof of their divine heritage—an Olympian god made metal, standing above all mortal challengers.
