Welcome to the Reimei Armory Forge. A Fan Website of Battle Tech proceedings.
New!!! Updated January 24, 2011 Version 2 HTML template ProtoMech Designer Forge.
The first file you find here is a file you can use to generate ProtoMechs. This is called the Reimei Armory Forge ProtoMech Designer Foundry. RAF PDF. This is a first version of the program and still has some issues and programing your Protomech must follow an orderly procedure for everything to work out correctly. (Caution: RAF TOP SECRET: design information is contained in this file. You must be Authorized to view this or you may find yourself a viable target of Kurita Forces sentenced to death of disclosure of information.) Kidding aside: If done correctly you can save, load, name.raf files and you can also create a record sheet for your Protomech point with gunnery skill and pilot name. The rules are from the master rules and other official game rules. The experimental technologies are based on resources researched many facets of the Battletech universe. This will allow you to make Legal game play ProtoMechs. The PV system is according to rules and does vary by a few points. The C-Bill cost is also in the ball park and based on my understanding of the rules and interpretation of 1 myself as I programed it and 2. that of the capabilities of the programing system that was used. Please enjoy using the current version. One Unique feature in the Systems is that of missle salvo's. SRM, LRM, systems allow you to adjust the number by tabbing up and down. Warnings will pop up to tell you of arm limits and torso limits. You also have to use the weight button to validate the ProtoMech often along with Cost and BV. This was done to make the program more interactive and I feel the program is much more enjoyable because of the increase in interaction. Please Enjoy. New versions will be done in the future and a HTML template for uploading your designs is still in the works.
This new version is opened with the Start File, which is the largest of the files in the folder. HTML template added to the project to allow you to post your Protomech design.

Reimei Armory Forge (RAF), is a technological scientific research Laboratory and production facilities in the void expanses of the Draconis Combine. Closest known location used as a staging area for the RAF is the planet of Unity. Not much is known about the RAF Facility and only rumors persist throughout the Draconis Combine. Some speculation has been that there was a discovery code named the Emperors Tomb. A reference to the Terracotta statues from ancient Earth. In this case it represents an assumption that the Draconis Combine uncovered a old Star League cache of mechs as numerous if not much more numerous some where in the void nebula in the hart of the Dragon itself. The Reimei Armory Forge was given control of the area due to it's long term relationship and faithfulness to the Kurita House hold. The Reimei Army is on record as to being a driving force that assisted in the establishment of the Kurita leadership of the Draconis Combine. Exactly how and specific matters are not discussed or detailed about the Reimei Armies purpose or methods used in assisting House Kurita. House Kurita has recognized the Reimei Army as highly important to the Draconis Combine.
The Reimei Army is assumed to be the military forces of a Periphery planetary system on the outskirts of the Draconis Combine and between the worlds that the Clan invaders came from. The Systems in this area. Not exactly clear on information. Belongs to the Reimei Family Holdings. That according to non-verified reports of intercepted extreme-long range communications from jump capable warships belonging to a Clan group known as "The Ajax Legion". Appears to be highly technically advanced. Something of a Technologist group heavy into sciences and experimental research programs.
Rumors exist that the Reimei Army consists of Three Regiments known to operate with in the innersphere for House Kurita's DCMS and ISF forces.
Reports state that the Reimei Army has a Regiment known as the Hammerz Slammerz. The first appearance seem to date back long before any clan invasions. The color of the Battlemechs and units were Flamboyant. Decorated with flags, streamers, and a high level of showmanship. Always arriving in House Kurita's DCMS darkest hour and turning the tide of battle. For all the showboating and lack of caution many defeated enemy were in shock and awe at how the Hammerz Slammerz were able to crush their forces. Many speculate that they are not using Standard Inner sphere Battlemechs, but something closer to Clan related technologies.
The other Theory is that the Reimei Army has another Regiment known as the Flaming Skulls. Many are not sure this Regiment exists and seems to be more ghostly and perhaps not even really a regiment. Perhaps just a bad dream that many inner sphere and clan units dread. Story has it that the Flaming Skulls are Ghosts, Ninja's, highly skilled to show up like ghouls. Something of a Ghost story for Mech Warriors to speak about. However if this Regiment is like Ghosts speculation has it the reason for the Flamboyant Hammerz Slammerz tactic might be to draw attention away from a secretive 2nd regiment the Flaming Skulls and this could explain the inconceivable number of Battlemech losses to the Reimei Army.
The third aspect of the RAF is that of a flotilla of Jump capable Warships. Known as the Ajax Legion and the transportation arm of the Remei Army. Many times unknown and unidentified Warships enter a conflict and slaughter any Aerospace defenses before there is time to respond. Unclear photos and video exist that these Warships enter several smaller (perhaps Dropships) detach and a massive number of fighters are released just at the moment the Warships entered close proximity to defending forces. The shear fire power form the Warships have obliterated combat space stations in seconds after arrival. The Ajax Legion however doesn't fit the designs of current Aerospace inner sphere known warship designs. The Ajax Legion doesn't even fit the ran down Clan Aerospace technology. The Ajax Legion of Warships is in a class all to itself. Intercepted communications between Clan Aerospace and the Ajax Legion, however leads to the belief that the Ajax Legion may be more related to the Clans as Clan Ghost Bear claims "You Cowards, why not fight in Honorable Battlemech combat instead of dishonor yourselves in the cold of space." To which the Ajax Legion responded,"As we lay you to rest here in the Cold of space, rest assured your Clan on the planet will face the Battlemechs of the Ajax Legion in honorable Mech combat of old. Unlike the dishonorable evil your kind did to Clan Ajax."
