Armored Type 7 Lyano-Shu

The Armored Type 7 Lyano-Shu (機甲七式 リャノ＝シュ,) is a light-armored combat support Feldreß deployed by the Theocracy.

Nomenclature
There is no definitive inspiration or meaning behind the name Lyano-Shu. Armored Type 7 indicates it is the seventh Feldreß designed and deployed by the Theocracy.

Description
The Lyano-Shu was hastily constructed to be cheaper and produced in higher number than the Fah-Maras as the Theocracy started losing materials in the war's progression. As a result, the Lyano-Shu is much smaller and thinly armored compared to it's predecessor. Similar to the Fah-Maras, it has pearl gray armor and a form resembling a small frog, giving it the appearance of a baby crawling when moving. It's four flat legs sacrifices mobility in favor of wide surface area contact to keep it from sinking in ash, having 4 toe-like appendages on each leg. It is equipped with dust shields and it's round, flat shape and armor color allow it to blend in well in the ashlands of the Blank Sector.

Equipped on the Lyano-Shu's flank are a pair of three 106 mm Recoilless Guns a long with a 12.7 mm Spotting Rifle under each pair to help with targeting in the ash-filled environment that makes laser-guided weapons difficult to use. True to it's name, the 106 mm guns have very low recoil allowing several of them to fire without the force damaging the Lyano-Shu. But there are a few drawbacks such as the rounds travelling slower and ash kicking up behind the Lyano-Shu upon firing, easily revealing it's location to the enemy. Due to the sheer weight of the heavy armaments placed on the already slow Lyano-Shu's small fuselage, it functions more like a self-propelled cannon and it's poor mobility and maneuverability make it mostly viable in ambushes. Some Lyano-Shu are also equipped with jamming equipment.

The Lyano-Shu is usually assigned as a subordinate unit the Fah-Maras, their commander unit. Several Lyano-Shu are typically paired to one Fah-Maras. When the Fah-Maras operator is killed, the Lyano-Shu units under their command generally break formation and stop whatever they're doing, unable to act having received no new orders. It is not because they are drones as many initially believed. The reason it is the smallest known Feldreß to date is because it's small frame is meant to be operated by Teshat children under the age of 10 years old.
