Overview

The Tzu-112 'Kyam Feizo' is an armor frame, and the first domestic combat frame of Taigu Sogotu. It was developed by Tzuki Complexes, and produced by FOJI Industrial. Serviced by the Taigun United Ground Forces from 2115-2143 NGE, the Tzu-112 makes use of many parts from walkers, allowing it to have quickly been mass produced using the leftover walkers from the 4th World War. It was eventually replaced by the upgraded, Tzu-112+ Kai Feizo in 2143 NGE

Armaments

Arm Mounted 25mm Auto cannon

The Tzu-112 is equipped with a Type-34 auto cannon chambered in 25x16mm high explosive rounds. The auto cannon is mounted on its right wrist and is primarily designed for emergency use cases where the frame is unable to use its external weapons.

Development History

Concept Stages

During the 4th World War, the Chasutoie nations lacked large numbers of combat frames, and the small amount that were present were all imported models, typically old frames discarded by the major militaries. The steep, rocky, and hilly terrain of the western part of the Chasutoie continent required a weapons platform capable of hitting from above, but having enough armor to deal with the anti-air systems. This lead to the continent having a unique battlefield during the war, where it was not the might of tanks, or versatility of combat frames that dominated the front, but the sheer size of the walkers. Throughout the front, a diverse array of walkers were deployed by all sides. However, the slow ruggedness of these mechanical beasts revealed the need for a faster, more agile system.

By the end of the war, Taigu Sogotu's military research division, the United Research and Development Group, launched the All Terrain Mobile Combat Platform, or ATiM ComP program. This program called for a new system that would be faster, more agile, and capable of mass production. Multiple companies would submit their bid, but only two would be chosen for the prototype stage.

TZUp-112

By 2109 NGE, the program had come up with 2 models; the JMp-111, developed by Juchuno Workings and the TZUp-112, developed by Tzuki Complexes. The JMp-111, commonly referred to as the 'Triple-Ichi', was a small, slim, combat frame that had state of the art NERVE-tech, allowing for fluid movements. In contrast, the TZUp-112 was inferior in most aspects. It was slightly slower than the 111, three tons heavier, and its movements were more mechanical in nature due to its usage of more primitive NERVE-tech. However, unlike the Triple-Ichi, the TZUp-112 was significantly cheaper to produce. While it had inferior NERVE tech, it could be produced within the nation itself. Not only this, but the system used existing parts from walkers, which gave it a bulky shape, but this also meant that the masses of leftover walkers could be repurposed, and the production lines would be able to produce the parts needed almost instantly, running down the cost of the combat frame to a third of that of the JMp-111.
