Based off an original design presented in Artimic Design Works  (pg 16)

BACKGROUND 

The Kerogga scout mecha was first deployed some 20 years after the razing of Opterra, approximately at the same time as the Ligaa Light Aerospace Mecha.  The Kerogga was the first mecha deployed by Invid forces which mounted a first generation IMSC-1X phased array radar. The system is quite advanced for its time with most of the components copied directly from captured Zentraedi and Robotech Master components.  The radar is capable of full search, track, and SAR operational modes with passive ESM techniques.  The system is capable of detecting a 0 dBsm target at 50 km with alpha and beta fighter detection occurring at 66 km and 88km respectively

The Kerogga was designed only for reconnaissance and scouting, and as such only possesses limited combat capabilities.  However, Keroggas never entered into combat without assistance from frontline Invid combat mecha   Typically, one Kerogga was assigned to every Clamship battalion (approximately 500 Invid Scouts or 250 Shock Troopers).

The Kerogga provided the Invid forces with long range radar detection and tracking.  Up until its initial deployment Invid forces were limited to detection at visual range only.  However, by the time of Invid Invasion of Tirol all of the Kerogga mecha had been placed into reserve as more advanced phased array systems had been mounted into all Ligaa mecha.  No Kerogga were encountered by REF forces during the Sentinel campaigns; however, several non-functioning units were captured and examined by REF intelligence.

RPG STATS

Vehicle Type: One person all weather mecha
Class: Reconnaissance
Manufacturer: Invid Regent / Regis
Crew: One pilot
 

MDC BY LOCATION:

Location Kerogga
Antenna (2) 3 each
Sensor Connector 2
Legs & Feet (2) 10 each
Main Engine Thruster (rear) (1) 5
* Sensor Eye 1
** Main Body 15
Reinforced Pilots Compartment 5 
		 
NOTES:
  1. * The sensor eye is the most vulnerable place on the Invid's mecha body.  Destruction of the sensor eye will destroy the mecha and pilot.  However, it is a small target protected by surrounding shielding, thus, to hit the player must make a called shot at -3.
  2. ** Depleting the MDC of the main body will destroy the mecha.
