While not as prone to unprovoked violent outbursts as other aging machines in the Khadoran arsenal, the Rager is inclined toward fierce over protectiveness and will throw itself upon any perceived threat to its master without hesitation. It is for this reason that many of Khador’s veteran warcasters still find a place for the aging warjack in their battlegroups, though they keep the machine at arm’s length, given its increasing tendency toward destructive cortex overloads. The Rager was designed with a heavy shield cannon of the sort used by Man-O-War Shocktroopers, lending the ’jack the means for a strong defense without depriving it of a second weapon. Rather than hacking into the enemy with reckless abandon, the Rager employs a more measured fighting style, making effective use of its sword and shield.[1]
Most of the original Ragers have been destroyed, often having been reduced to scrap as they interposed their frames between their warcasters and danger. While few remain in service today, they continue to demonstrate the same steadfast resolve and loyalty as when they first set foot on the field of battle. Weathering blows from enemy warjacks and absorbing artillery fire directed at their controlling warcasters, Ragers endure as an eloquent testament to the strength and resilience of Khadoran engineering.[1]
