Technical and Historical Data:
A subsidiary company for Hermosa Tech Industries, known as Walker Corp, began production on their Project G which would eventually see the development of the XRG-40 Hazel. With specially collected combat data from the AR-45 Nemo and AR-44-2 Neo GM, the Hazel becomes the test bed for the Earth Union's next generation of weapons and mobile suit equipment. While the entire machine is similar to the GM and Nemo frame, it is completely new and every technique used in the design has been refined to incorporate better power flow and movement efficiency. With the addition of a special and powerful set of engines and thrusters, it is the fastest mobile suit to be created since the Neo GM. Because of the hefty strain on the body though, the whole body has been upgraded to Neo-Titanium to reduce the amount of stress warping and increase pilot safety. The Hazel, even in space, is pretty decent compared to its mass produced counterparts but because of the need to rapidly deploy forces to an area even outside of the Earth Sphere, a Mobility Pack is created to enhance this. This pack, known as the Icarus Unit, adds stabilizer wings and a few extra engines to increase forward mobility and when in tight spaces, increase the machines agile maneuverability. Should the system be damaged, it can be jettisoned from the Hazel or host machine. At the time of the Hazel's deployment, it would feature the first fully functional prototype Beam Rifle, the ERX0 Model. While powerful, the Rifle must use special Energy Pac's to avoid draining the reactor or risk some very short deployment times. In the case of connecting to the reactor, the Rifle automatically reduces the output of each shot by half. As a backup weapon, the Hazel can also deploy with the 90mm Blade Rifle, a Rifle with a Sword Blade that extends from under the receiver and along the length of the rifle barrel. The blade itself can also super heat, creating an anti-armor weapon with the capability to breach even warship armor with strong enough strikes.
