Hugo 19.7m
Base weight: 29.9t
[Season 2]
A Calamity War-era unit restored and currently operated by private security companies and pirates. The Hugo is built off of the Hexa Frame, the second-most widely produced frame after the Rodi Frame during the war. The Hexa Frame's most distinguishing feature is its rear-mounted cockpit block, which boasted a higher pilot survival rate than its contemporaries that placed the cockpit in the center of the torso. This proved fortuitous as the lightened frame made it less bullet resistant, resulting in a majority of units being shot down during the war.
The Hugo itself is a lightweight, high mobility unit that demonstrates incredibly stable performance. The Hugo is designed to operate in packs, overwhelming enemies by supporting one another in close-to-mid ranged combat. Unusually the Hugo's leg joints have been inverted, allowing them to operate like a second pair of arms. As a result of their design the feet have very little contact surface with the ground, making it unsuitable for walking within gravity.
Armaments:110mm Machine Gun: A handheld firearm designed and produced by Heiphaistos.
300mm Long Rifle: A Heiphaistos-developed rifle suited for longer-range firefights.
Scimitar: A massive pair of curved swords, dating back to the war as the Hugo's iconic weaponry. In addition to dealing crushing blows in close combat, they're durable and wide enough to shield their user from incoming fire. When not in use they are stored on the backpack.
Buster Sword: A large melee weapon favored by pirates. Despite its size the buster sword actually has excellent handling, and can be carried on the backpack storage racks when not in use.
Head Napalm Round: Four tubes mounted in the head, two on either side. They launch close-ranged explosives loaded with napalm.
Shot Anchor Claw: Mounted on the waist, these wire-guided anchors are multipurpose grappling equipment. They're equally suited for ensnaring enemy units or carrying and transporting supplies.
Leg Claw: Owing to the unusual configuration of the Hugo's legs, the feet have been designed to function as surprise grappling weapons. They're primarily for restraining a target and then finishing them off with the unit's other weaponry.

[Season 2]
A refurbished mobile suit widely used by economic blocs and private organizations, both on Earth and throughout space. Thanks to the rear-mounted cockpit nestled in its hood-like backpack the Gilda boasts a high pilot survival rate, but unlike the Hugo it features a pair of conventionally jointed legs. While less exciting than the exotic leg claws used by the Hugo, the Gilda's legs make it far more versatile and capable of ground deployment.
Independently sourced rather than purchased from Gjallarhorn, the small percentage of Hexa Frame units surviving to the modern era makes the Gilda unsuitable for wide-scale military deployment. It must be deployed alongside other units, which is representative of how the economic blocs are still figuring out how to properly expand their military power. One variant of the Gilda is adopted by the SAU, with thinner head and torso armoring than the standard version.
Armaments:???: The variant adopted by the SAU armed forces is equipped with a pair of head-mounted vulcans.
Rifle: A handheld model of rifle used by the SAU armed forces. In practice in functions more like an upscaled handgun.
90mm Submachine Gun: A lightweight, easy to use machine gun in wide circulation in the outer sphere.
Wire Gun: A hand-carried wire anchor. The anchor itself possesses vernier thrusters in order to properly
entangle targets.
Sword Club: A large combat blade, carried on the backpack when not in use.
Crowbar: A work tool hastily adopted for actual combat. It is inferior to actual MS weapons but can still disarm enemies in a melee. When not in use it can be stored on the backpack, and the handle is extendable.
Shield/
Pile Claw: A small shield mounted on the left arm, with an integrated pair of pile bukers.

[Urdr-Hunt]
An unusual example of a unit with emphasis on armoring built on the traditionally lightly-armored Hexa Frame.
Armaments:Shotgun: A compact shotgun. Can be stored on the backpack when not in use.
3-Tube Rock Breaker: Connected to the backpack by a movable arm, with a rail mechanism on the base.
Tomhawak: A pair of large blades, which can combine to form a double-bladed weapon. They can be stored on the unit's thigh hardpoints when not in use.
