Adherent class are heavy mecha with simplified controls for neophytes, often used as "cannon fodder." In terms of power, the diesel-powered behemoths are considered the least dangerous individually but given that they are often deployed en masse, a horde of these seventy foot tall monsters can shock and awe many less-prepared forces into submission.
