Introduction:
The Neo-Karkong is in fact the same old time-honored Kargon-5 from yesteryear, except this design utilizes modern technologies and materials.

Service Record:
The Neo-Karkong model has just begone production with Barada Industries to take over the older, original model, the Karkong-5 series.

The main purpose for the Neo-Karkong is for a cheap defence unit for smaller Algolian cities with potential for customization and secondary purpose for an affordable 'first' mecha for young mecha pilots eager to own their very own mecha.

*Note: Mekton I states it useses Nutrino Furnace, Mekton II states it useses Nucleonic Fusion, and Mekton Z uses whatever you wish, but standards on Cold Fusion. Since I can't agree on giving a specific name and to keep this fairly generic, I choose to to call it Cold Fusion Furnace system. In the eyes of MZ, the name doesn't matter, just it's game effects.

Multiplier Cost : x1.0

**Power Plant Lifespan: 10 Algolian Years.

**Lifespan for Mekton-scale, Standard Charge, Cold Fusion Furnaces are set for 10 Algolian Years combat or otherwise. Overcharge cuts the time in half and Supercharge cuts the time to a quater, while Undercharge doubles the time. Scales effect the time by the same factor as the scale is. and the time can be increased in factors adding x1.0 Multiplier Cost per doubling the lifespan, and -x0.2 per year taken off in decreasing the time.

*Note: Although screens are used, the rest of the controls are darn right primitive compared to Screens. Therefor I have used a mid-form between Screens and Manual, calling it Early Screen for a -x.025 cost and -1 Pool.

Notes:
The Neo-Karkong has a few spare spaces and has enough room for the pilot and a passager. THe Neo-Karkong's head is slightly bigger than that of the Karkong-5.

Variants:
Like the Karkong-5s it has the same kind of variants, which are only different from each other in the arms configuration. The names of the variants may sound funny, but no body ever said Nick Barada was bright with words.

BLeGH-6: The 'Blegh' variant is exactlly like the in configuration as the 'Brigh', (BRiGH Karkong-5,) accept the Gun Hand is on the Left. This variant is to serve primarily to accomodate left handed pilots. Note: BLeGH stands for Barada's Left Gun Hand.

BaDoGH-6: The 'Ba-Dogh' variant specializes for long range defence against mecha and aircraft capacity with both it's arms being plasma gun hands. Note: BaDoGH stands for Barada's Double Gun Hands.

BaNoGH-6: The 'Ba-Nogh' variant specializes for close range attack and defence against other mecha as both it's arms are normal hands. Note: BLeGH stands for Barada's No Gun Hand)
