BACKGROUND 

mod_male1.GIF (54188 bytes)With the development of the Officer Power Armor and the Queadlunn-Rau Power Armor, the Robotech Masters decided that the ultimate power armor was still needed.   The Officer Power armor had greater armor protection than the Queadlunn-Rau and had more powerful beam weaponry.  While the Queadlunn-Rau possessed the advanced Inertial control system and high missile load.  What was needed was a command mecha that could fight anything that the Invid or the newly rebellious Disciples of Zor possessed.  Hence the Queadlunn-Ger or the Tactical Power armor was developed.

The Tactical Power armor takes much from its predecessors, as the basic body shape remains the same as the Officer power armor; however, roughly 50% of the armor protection was added. Two plasma shock thrusters, identical to the three mounted on the female power armor were added. Because of the increased armor weight of the mecha the acceleration in space or the maximum speed in the atmosphere is much less than that of the female or officer power armor.  The top mounted highly effective PB-11 was kept.   The largest addition to the firepower of the Tactical Power Armor is the four missile launchers added to the primary weapon systems.  Two, SL-21a missile systems from the female power armor were added on the back shoulders of the mecha along with two SL-9c missile launchers on either arm.  This gave the Tactical Power Armor 102 Maggot short range missiles. 

The Tactical Power Armor never made it past the experimental stage.   Only 1,000 units were produced and tested in the elite units of the empire. Most of these units were destroyed in the numerous fights with the Invid at the end of the Master's reign.  However, some 50 units were transferred to Breiti's recovery fleet.  All of these units were destroyed during the subsequent battles with the SDF-1 or in the final attack with Dolza above Earth on  June 18, 2011.
