The Black Moriah /Matilda is a chunky humanoid mecha standing 4m tall, with the pilot occuppying the torso space and legs, The Arms being purely mechanical. The Black Moriah is battery powered and can operate for 151 hours without recharging.
The Black Moriah varient of the Matilda Mk 1strips out the missile launcher, ECM suite and computer and uses the space gained for a flare launcher, Improved sensors and increased Ammo storage. The Police Black Moriah loads its cannon with One clip of standard bullets, three clips of tangler foam, one clip of fire retardent and two clips of Tazer ammo.
There are a few Black Moriah in military service, like all military vehicles they have a range of camoflage paterns, The SASH use British European patern (dark green and black in broad stripes), British Desert patern (SAS sand pink), and Arctic patern (white with flecks of green).
Police owned Black Moriahs - This is the UK - so
of course the Black Moriahs aren't black at all, they are white with a dayglo
orange stripes. Originally "Black Moriah" was a name which was used to describe
a police arrest vehicle.
The Matilda /Black Moriah was created as a compromise between three completely divergent design requirements, The 29th Regt. (SAS-H) needed a fast one man recon vehicle, The Department needed a supply of cheap battlesuits to backup The New Knights and finally The Police needed a riot control vehicle. Political pressure (objections to armed police)resulted in the design being split into two varients late in the design procedure the Matilda Mk1 filling the requirements of Col. De'Ath's SAS-H and The Department, whilst the Black Moriah varient was retooled with non-lethal weapons for police use.
Both Varients are manufactured by the Royal Ordnance Company of Aldershot, and are based upon "Inventions" supplied by The Department's "TOP MEN" In reality the "Inventions" are advanced alien technology sold to the Department by Alan Stuart - aka VENOM aka the Guardian of the Hall of Worlds".
The 29th Special Air Services -(Heavy) Regiment - Col De'Ath has a force of thirty Matildas split into six squadrons of five mechs, each squadron specialising in a different environment. The SASH also has two Black Moriahs for recon/ECM support these have been nicknamed "green" Moriahs.
The Police - The Black Moriah varient is in service with all of the UK's police forces. The actual number of Black Moriah's is actually quite high, however because of the way the UK police are organised no police authority has access to more than two Black Moriahs for immediate action with a further 1d6 Black Moriahs 1d6x10 minutes away (on loan from a neighbouring force).
