Initially developed by Kronos for the Atlesian military for their need of mechanized battlesuits to defend their borders and explore new ground for potential expansions, the design was rejected by the military in the contest despite of being a marginally superior product to what would become the Paladin. While the running speed and armor protection were comparable, their mech allowed for modular customization, propelled boosters, and a greater variety of armaments.

Although the cited reason was "fuel efficiency", the higher-ups in Kronos refused to believe the explanation and instead suspected that the military's longstanding alliance with the Schnee Dust Company outright influenced their decision to select the Paladin instead.
