Bear Fighter Polar combat custom The Bear Fighter PCC or "Polar Bear" for short started as a result of the Guylos empire using ice bergs to conceal attacks on Republic shores. Though the war ended without any further polar attacks the republic made a priority of establishing bases on the shores of the dark continent Nyx and the frigid islands nearby. Because frost developing in the joints was a constant complaint of zoid pilots a special heating system was developed. Early on heating coils were used but they constantly burnt out and needed replacing. A new heating system was developed by rerouting the excess heat generated from the zoid core and using a radiator fluid to keep the zoid ice free. The first zoid to employ this system was the bear fighter PCC. It was remarked that the PCC was in fact kept so warm that pilots had a habbit of falling asleep in the cockpit. The complexity of the PCC prevented it from being produced in large numbers so the few that were created were equipped with enough weaponry to carry the worth of several standard bear fighters. Equipped with the republic's own Heavy Beam cannon, it can hand out a tremendous amount of frontal fire while also carrying the unique Side Arm Assault Unit. The side arm assault unit equips to the left side of the bear fighter providing it with twin 50mm Anti Air/Ground Beam cannons. Though in the default position they're set to take down air targets the entire unit can pivot on the vertical to bring the cannons to bear (no pun intended) against an oponent to the front of the zoid. As well the SAAU sports a rack of nine multi purpose missiles capable of hitting both targets on the ground and in the air.
