BST-Frame

The BST-Frame is a type of war machine in Armor Blitz Online.

Overview
The BST-Frame is a type of machine of unknown origin that was recently rediscovered after at least hundreds of years of being abandoned. The origins or the purpose of these machines are completely unknown, and dating them has proven to be difficult due to the unknown materials they are made out of, and the lack of any kind of records of their existence. A few BST-Frames have been uncovered, and there is thought to be more scattered around the world. Though the exact number of BST-Frames has yet to be determined, it is speculated that they are exceedingly rare due to the present sparsity of their appearances.

All BST-Frames have a humanoid appearance, though aside from this the appearance of those uncovered have varied wildly, although they all seem to share an identical base frame upon which all else is attached. Additionally, despite the similar naming convention as Armor Blitzes, the BST-Frames bear no similarity to them aside from their humanoid shape. They are demonstrably superior to the Armor Blitz in every conceivable way, being faster, more powerful and more durable. The BST-Frames all carry their weapons internally and integral to the machine, as opposed to the modular external weapons the Armor Blitzes carry, and additionally they utilize energy based weapons as opposed to the projectile and physical weapons the Armor Blitzes use. Further, the BST-Frames are fully flight capable, while Armor Blitzes are relegated to the ground. It is unknown how these machines were created, especially considering their apparent age, dating back at least hundreds of years.

The BST-Frames are unable to be piloted by just anyone, and the degree with which one can control a BST-Frame depends on the individual, with some being able to pilot the frames to their fullest potential, while others who are less compatible can only move the frame in a basic way, while others still are unable to move or even activate the frame at all. There is currently no known way to test pilot compatibility aside from trial and error.

The BST-Frames all carry a function that allows them to exceed their normal combat performance parameters by exponential amounts, allowing them an unrealistic degree of combat performance that is capable of destroying even F-Armors with relative ease. Activating this system is not easy, however, as the system seems to react only to a specific stimuli or an input from a fully compatible pilot. The purpose of this system and its activation parameters are completely unknown, as is the reason why every one seems to possess the system.

Known BST-Frames
The original names of the BST-Frames, if there were any, has been lost to history, and each BST-Frame is named based on the order in which they are discovered, and follow the naming convention of BST Phase XX, or BST-XX, starting from 01 and proceeding linearly from there. Any individual personal names can be given by anyone, be it the nickname the ones who discovered it gave it, or the name a compatible pilot gives it. Generally whatever sticks goes as far as personalized names is concerned.
