Encyclopedia > Warstrider

Warstrider is a BattleTech-esque series by William H Keith Jr. The series is based upon a futuristic world where Japan has taken control of Earth politics and of the majority of human colonies on other worlds. Humans are engaged in a war with creatures known only as Xenophobes. Human-kind has never managed to communicate with the creatures and only has their attacks to base what information is known about them on.

In theory, a common warstrider is no greater a wonder than a grand daiklave (both are Artifact 3), but ask any legionnaire which he'd rather face on the battlefield, and the disparity becomes clear.
Even so, warstriders are useful only in certain types of engagements, and they demand far greater Essence (to the point of needing an inset hearthstone just to move), not to mention regular and expensive maintenance by trained technicians.
Such drawbacks are not inconsequential, particularly as the inhabitants of the Second Age lack the educated society and vast technomagical infrastructure of their forebears.
