Essentially big suits of
armor, Large
mecha excel in urban battlefields and
starship boarding actions, where they move through buildings and corridors to find the enemy. Large
mecha are the easiest to operate. However, they can't carry the intense array of
weapons that bigger
mecha can, nor are they as strong or durable.
