- Storm Sworder

Pilots: Rosso, Viola

     The Storm Sworder the most impressive machine ever to grace the skies of Zi. It was first developed by the Republic and first deployed at Red River base for the purpose of a test run.

     At first there were only two units developed. These were entrusted to pilots Rosso and Viola after they were rescued by the Republican Army, but as soon as they got into Imperial air space they faked a communications failure and absconded with the Storm Sworders. These units were never pursued by the Republican Army and simply allowed to escape, but they continued to use their Zoids for the sake of good -- protecting the young Emperor Rudolph.

Weapon Overview:
    Top Sword, Wing Sword x2: The top of the Storm Sworder's head has a blade installed on the interior, which can flip upwards and charge with energy for close range attacks. The wings have similar blades.     Double-Barreled Pulse Laser Gun: These two guns are on the fronts of the wings. They're stationed behind the wing claws, which flip downwards to fire on the enemy.
    Iron Claw x2: Over the Laser Guns are sets of claws, three on each wing. These weapons are extremely sharp, but how they can be used as a weapon is beyond me. After all, they'd have to take a direct hit to the wing to use them. Maybe it refers to the feet? Even if they have no claws.     Sword Missiles x3: Each of the three swords on the Storm Sworder can be rotated forward and fired as a projectile weapon. This, of course, leaves the Zoid without close range armaments.
Equipment Overview:
    No custom equipment.

- Storm Sworder Stealth

Pilots: Ralph, Mueller

     The Storm Sworder Stealth is the most advanced aerial combat unit developed by the Republic, unless you count the Hammer Kaiser. It's an incredible machine that is faster and stronger in every way. Referred to as the Triple S or "SSS" it is known to have amazing stealth capability. The special black paint not only provides excellent night camouflage but is also able to eliminate all traces of electromagnetic energy, which makes the Zoid invisible to radar.
