From the introduction: The Kobold p-g made its first appearance among Ungrateful partisans serving the House of Dust, the pattern a clever suite of hardware and software able to be applied to many kinds of mining and heavy industry mechs. The steaming, shuddering final result is an ugly affair, but contains powerful liturgicode meant to unlock its reactor. Custom built to combat Barony suppression forces, the desperate workers who built the first slapdash kobolds found their reactors and factory tools repurposed to deadly effect: able to melt and extrude raw material into a molten polymer that could be used for both barriers and bombs. User Note: A "frame" for Lancer, provided separately to Kickstarter backers. Also published in The Long Rim
