Beleth Strafe is a Mk.II PPDC jaeger. It was the 13th of 72 Jaegers, created as the ultimate deterrent against powerful 'Hyperfauna."

History[]

Built during the excavation of Titanosaurus, the Beleth Strafe is MONARCH’s newest and most advanced mobile suit. It was commissioned by MONARCH Chairman Gilbert Durandal, who ordered the new machine to be designed and built with the most advanced technology of the time, also incorporating technologies which were banned by the Atlantic Treaty. Based on the Bael Precursor and pilots combat data, it is designed to be able to handle any combat situation with its varied armament. Most of these armaments were tested on a specialized backpack mounted on the Bune Nightcrawler.

Features[]

For the Beleth Strafe to use its wide variety of weapons effectively and quickly, it is necessary for the suit to have a wider range of body movements as well as be more flexible. To achieve the first goal of having wider range of body movements, the suit's basic structural component have been split into smaller, movable pieces, while the suit's armor has been divided into smaller pieces in a manner that is similar to that used on the Bathin Kabutops. The exposed gaps in the armor due to smaller armor pieces are remedied by mapping out the ranges of motion of the frame using the pilots combat performance to determine the most efficient way to separate the armor parts. This help to ensure that the wider range of body movements do not come at a price of lower defensive power.

Other special aspects of the Jaeger are its use of the new Voiture Lumiere propulsion system for greatly increased speed, and the use of the Variable Phase Armour to create an illusionary copy of the unit itself. Beleth's Voiture Lumiere propulsion system is installed in the wings, which are improved version of the Bael Precursor's wing units, and will produce a special light effect known as Wings of Light when activated. The Voiture Lumiere propulsion system is frequently used together with the Variable Phase Plating to confuse the enemy as the real unit sets up for a high speed attack.
