Right Brothers
The Right Brothers entered into the conflict late after seizing upon the PRF invasion as an opportunity to exercise their separatist agenda. The Right Brothers faction was located in the Northern Central Highlands of Hai Shi Dao Island and is crosscut with both the Er Ting and Qua Long mountain ranges and the Jaccala Woodlands, a swampy expanse of coastal shallows and scrub brush forest.

Having no military forces of their own, the Right Brothers obtained schematics for the HSD m-Vitzh and tailored them to their own needs. Knowing that they would be fighting on difficult topographies, Right Brothers engineers completely rebuilt the drive train to triple the torque capabilities while maintaining a superior stability rating. Due to the minimal line-of-sight terrain on which their forces would be fighting, RB armament research & development came up with an electronic radar-tagging projectile, the Marker Launcher (MKR-LA). This allowed radar locating of enemy forces and gave Right Brothers pilots the edge they needed to launch their guerrilla tactics.

Field Notes

"Every game of chess has its pawns."

A more robust cousin of the Vitzh, the Colt boasts an impressive torque rating for a 1st generation standard combat VT. This allows it to be fielded reliably on hilly or swampy terrain. As with most Right Brothers VTs, it can mount the MKR-LA marker launcher, which makes it very effective for the scout and intelligence gathering role pilot as well as a marker for artillery units. The Colt does suffer a bit in veering efficiency, which can make it difficult to use in close range combat, thus it is best used in middle-ranged group assault roles.

Having played for the Right Brothers faction from their initial availability in Round 2, I came to highly value the Colt as a team mate when piloting the Vortex. The Marker Launcher is a greatly underestimated weapon and can make all the difference when going against a superior VT side. Marked VTs are easy prey for artillery and will more often than not be destroyed before the 3 minute marker life runs out.

Cheap to deploy and available in unlimited numbers from the supply bin, this should be the VT of choice for non-RB members to request when looking for a first generation marker capable VT. Although the Scare Face A1 also fills the role, its limited availability makes it more difficult (and expensive) to obtain in trades.

Nemesis's Indoor Loadout
m.0 - MKR-LA
m.1 - 140-MG
m.2 - 77-REC
s.0 - DP-MIS
s.1 - GND
s.2 - empty
Sub Tanks - 1

A good balanced loadout that only suffers from a lack of a non-minimum ranged sub-weapon. For this I would drop the sub-tank and add a 67-CG in the third sub-weapon position.
