The infantry were unable to cope with the mobility and longevity of the newly mass released laurel mech units. Even after extensive upgrades and modifications, infantry wearing second generation armament still proved to be a hindrance that holds back the Laurel’s full potential. The testing of Forseti of the 55th Viking Shield Team proved a success - with outstanding performance in the desert area after modifications to temperature controls and adding sand-proof functions. The new armaments have been deployed to the 88th Sand Team to set up the new Seth Rangers.
