Description
Another one of my Mecha designs made for for L4's Mass Effect and Starship Trooperscrossover fanfic on ff.net and althistory sites, this design however is not yet implemented as the author think it might be a bit too Japanese for an SST fic. This design is more closer to the Japanese style mechas than my other two.

M14 Dingo Command Type
Originally developed as a private venture project for a technological demonstator, the M14 Dingo becomes the exemplary definition of the “Mechanical Infantry” doctrines of Second Generation Marauders (T.E.N.G.U Marauder), The Dingo represents a radical shift from the heavy armored design of the M13 Swift into a lightly armored design, with focus on maneuverability and firepower as its main assets in ground combat. Due to the Federation demanding requirements, the M14 program was repeatedly delayed.

Despite numerous setbacks, Kojima Heavy Industries finally delivered the first M14 design a year before the Batarian War broke out, and the project turned into a successful gamble for Kojima Heavy Industries, with the M14 formally adpoted into service as the Army’s special operations Marauder. At one point, the Federation also consider adopting the Dingo for widespread use, but the costly procurement process (maximum 25 units produced annually) and material restrictions of the type mean nothing ever realized from this proposal.

Nevertheless, despite its demanding maintenance and procurement process, the M14 offset this with its superior versality compared to the Swift in combat, even when the latter is better armored. In fact, its mechanical reliability and high performance is well appreciated by the Federation pilots, which resulted in shorter maintenance schedule compared to other Army Marauders in service.
