The Many Guns Doctrine adopted by the Santana Group also applied to its high-ranking mechs.

Gloriana had glossed over the mediocre mechs of the Santana Group but paid close attention to their expert mechs.
"The mech designers who designed those expert hybrid mechs and expert heavy artillery mechs know what they are doing." She said after a time. "It is a pity that their corporate masters have restricted them from implementing too many of their own ideas into the designs."
Ves understood what she meant. The Santana Group's expert mechs all looked similar to each other. It was as if they all started off from the same standard template before subsequently being modified to fit the unique circumstances of every individual expert pilot.
