Raleigh

Seeing GMS and Harrison Armory’s push to secure whole-fleet line contracts with Union member states, IPS-N launched a brief foray into design and production of their own main battle line frame. Enter the Raleigh, a stylistic and design oddity for IPS-N.

Designed not as a specialist, but as a purpose-built, closerange mech, the Raleigh failed to stun potential clients in trials.Though a favorite of test pilots due to its unique styling and agility, the Raleigh saw few fleet orders and, after a brief run as IPS-N’s flagship, was quietly rolled back and replaced with the Tortuga. No longer offered as a fleet contract, the Raleigh enjoys a quiet popularity among pilots seeking a wellbalanced, if close-ranged, line mech.
