Technology & Combat Characteristics
Since the Recten was intended for civilian purposes it therefore couldn't perform well in battle against MS designed specifically for combat. To rectify this, the Capital Guard modified the Recten's frame with additional armor and weapons, allowing it to play a more active combat role. Changes made included a backpack mounted large beam rifle, a large shield used for defense and added large leg units which allowed better ground mobility by hovering and was also capable of performing short jumps.
History
Despite its rather unique background, Kerbes Yoh pilots a Recksnow when he joins the crew of the Megafauna as a Capital Guard attache, which would be put to work with maintaining the ship's systems alongside its MS corps.
In order to be identifiable as friendly units, the Recksnows of the Megafauna wear blue bandanas on their heads.
