==Combat Mechs==
* GMS Muscle Tracer: A cheap, widely dispersed combat mech for militaries that need to bulk up their melee hitters for close quarters battle. The Muscle Tracer uses numerous automated systems to basically predict what the wearer wants, and act on it. It makes it very easy for unskilled users, but the conditioning often results in 
* ID Zone Denier: One of Impact Dynamics local designs, before they shifted to food production back during initial colonization, the Zone Denier is equipped with camouflage mine system and a grenade launcher; built to hold and defend a specific point.
* Retrograde-9 Smasher: A brute of a mech, the Retrograde series are classic designs, all big and bulky. The Smasher is slow as hell, but not much can actually stop it when it wants to go somewhere, and its demolition hammer ensures that anything at its destination will crushed flatter than a pancake. Should mounted concussion missiles give it an emergency defensive system.
* Butterflyght Arthas-9: Butterflyght is a small Long Rim weapons designer, whose developments have been slowly showing up elsewhere for a number of years now. The Arthas-9 is a sentry mech, equipped with a half dozen semi-autonomous remote controlled miniguns. It's primarily meant for anti-personnel work, but volume of fire will still results in effective results when put against mech scale targets
* ID Fury Rocket System: Another Impact Dynamics design, the Fury Rocket can be found in countless weapon caches across Calliope. The Atlas missile launcher it holds is slow firing, but can hit almost any point on the battlefield, and carries an overcharged plasma core; resulting in massive damage when it impacts. As the old saying went: 'If it impacts, it's a dynamics.' It never really caught on before ID switched business focuses.
* ID Raptor-4: The most common combat mech in the system, Impact Dynamics cached tens of thousands of them in various locations after arriving in the system. Most of these locations remain secure, but many have long since been looted by scavengers, smugglers, mercenaries and pirates. A second rate Assault mech, it's meant for assault operations, with other units screening it.
* HA Hangman Omega: One of Harrison Armory's non-Lancer line of mechs, it's a close up mech designed for grappling. Commonly called the Executioner class, it can deal brutal damage if it gets its grip on someone, and contains combat programs that target movement systems; letting it stay focused on its chosen victim.
* ID Variable Combat Skipper: Impact Dynamics Breacher mech. Moves fast, breaches hulls and gets in close with its mech scale shotgun. Considered a poor second to the Caliban by reviewers.
* Horus Wasp: One of the easier to access Horus models, the Wasp basically militarizes the concept of rotodrones for non Lancer-class pilots. It mass fabricates large quantitites of rotodrones with diamond rotors and sends them charging at enemies. Horus geeks often refer to these drones as man-hacks.
* Divine Decimator: A short run off combat mech from a recently recontacted world, the Decimator uses infrared thermal lasers to burn away at targets. Popular in Calliope for anybody with reliable access to a print shop; it outclasses the equivalent class model that Impact Dynamic made.
* SSC Tactical Jaeger: A Ronin mech meant for mass deployment, the Jaeder leads the way ahead of Lancer teams during boarding actions.
* HA Cobra Guard: A bodyguard class mech. The Cobra Guard is filled with syncing tools that let it detect, intercept and respond to hostile actions against a specific target.

==Civilian Mechs==
* Shelton TC-9: A extremely common civilian chassis in Calliope, the TC-9's design is over four hundred years old and still going strong. Easy to print, easy to maintain, it excels in engineering and salvaging projects; making it very popular for work in Calliope. Accordingly, this also means there's plenty for amateur soldiers to uparmor and equip with printed mech weapons.
* Engi Delta: A spider class repair mech, a fairly common vista when looking at the hull of one of the stations in Calliope, as they mend the various problems caused be centuries of low budget maintenance. They need no particular reconfiguration to serve as repair mechs in combat.
* GMS Specialist Worker: The Specialist Worker uses non combat drones to enhance the effectiveness of other mechs. Technically speaking, it's designed for civilian work (coordinating construction and mining mechs); but it's easily repurposed for military use

==Spacecraft==
* ID Retro-55: An interceptor from Impact Dynamics old production lines, back when they were a weapons developer. Armed with multiple missile racks and close range machine guns; the Retro-55 is a reliable model for supporting mechs in zero-g combat.

==Drones==
* DTL-99 Armor Drone: A massive drone, with a shield and heavy armor. It's not particularly tough when you get past these things, but that's the point. It takes point, draws fire, and then gets wrecked in a spot where advancing forces can use it for cover.
