Version 2.1 of the Accord assault battleframe is a formidable force on the battlefield. It’s twin crystite reaction cores provide huge amounts of power to its blast oriented weapon system and ability modules. Consul Nostromo is known to say that the Assault battleframe is the “anvil of the Accord.”
Many frame operators make this their first frame to master, since there is no better battleframe when brute force or a decisive frontal attack is called for.
The assault armor offers the highest quantum damping and kinectic projectile protection of any of the military grade frames. Capable of withstanding direct blasts from the most powerful armaments, assault frames are commonly used as the “tip of the spear” to drive wedges in enemy lines and open up lanes of attack for more specialized frames.
The extra weight of the reaction cores, coupled with the additional armor, makes the assault the slowest moving frame in the arsenal. But this relative lack of mobility is more than compensated for by the immense power available for custom modifications such as crater modules and afterburners. An assault frame with afterburners engaged is one of the fastest and deadliest moving objects on any battlefield.
The primary weapon of the assault battleframe is the plasma cannon. An inductive magnetic field channels and accelerates plasma at the enemy, detonating with explosive force at the point of impact. Different modules affixed to the cannon can vary the shape, number of projectiles, and behavior of the plasma ball ejected from the weapon.
A well piloted assault battleframe is near unstoppable. Capable of soaking up a lot of damage and dishing out a punishing payback, this popular frame will always have a place in every operator’s loadout.
