Production Notes

The AW-4 Saiph is an assault walker built for exclusive use by Heliadon's elite Imperial Guard unit. It embodies a design philosophy that emphasizes survival of both man and machine.

Like the AW-2 Alphard, the Saiph's design is based entirely on AW-1A1 Rigel. Some of its parts are actually the same as that of the Rigel, modified to increase performance.

Saiph's notable design features include head sensors based on the AWX-3 Regulus' antenna and a large composite shield wherein the Imperial Guards' iron skull emblem is incorporated. It's primary weapon is the AC-15F2, a modified version of the Rigel's AC-15 assault cannon.

Prior to the Saiph's deployment, several test-type AW-4s are distributed to several aces from the Heliadonian Army for field testing. These machines are virtually the same as the mass-production type save for their lack of the iron skull emblem.

Side Notes
-Saiph is named after the star in the constellation Orion's sword.
