Gargantuan
mecha are highly experimental in PL 6 societies, but quite common at PL 7. Units of this size are titans of the battlefield, able to destroy almost anything they can hit. Gargantuan
mecha are common in outer space environments but are often too expensive and unwieldy for planet-based missions.
