A world where 'plot-armour' is usually something the enemy have & where the machine you pilot may very well decide a battle before it ever begins.

For my review of 'Zeta Gundam' I wrote a short story detailing what the lives of the poor everyday background pilots must be like - In a war predicated on the fact that one man said another's name; "Sounds like a girl's name" - Leading to the deaths of 1000s.
Since then I've begun writing an original novel, carrying over the characters from here, called 'UnderCurrent'.
These stories can be read without knowledge of UnderCurrent and likewise it can be read without knowledge of this.
Optimally however it may benefit you to read UnderCurrent to have complete context, the following are some words that may not always be in all of the stories should you choose to skip from tale to tale;
Vijaik - A blanket term for mechs made of regular metals. They come in a variety of designs.
Casnel - Specifically refers to any mech made of the rare metal 'Goibniu'. They are exceptionally advanced and powerful machines.
Bhaile and Abhaile - The planets of UnderCurrent's people.
IAFS - 'Independent Alliance of Free States', a rebel faction backed by private corporations, seeking change for the solar-system.
TSU - 'The States Union', ruling body of all controlled space, known for often-times being callous and extreme in method.
Remembrance - A somewhat 'wild-card' faction made up of former rebellion survivors operating from the 'Remembrance' continent.
