Usually deployed to the cat-type variety, these systems come in many makes and models, but the official system baring the trade-marked name belongs to [[Fluffy Cloud Enterprises]] and consists of two high-output super vernier thrusters coupled with lift-stabilizers. A Mark II unit was released to the general public in limited quantities, with a much higher output it could bring heavier mechs to greater speeds, but the increased thrust made it exponentially more difficult to control, plus the units had a nasty habit of exploding randomly. There was also a Mark III developed at Fluffy Cloud’s main research facility, created very simply by scaling up the Mark II design. But the additional bulk of the MARk III’s size and fuel tanks brought even the fastest mech to a crawl, and the performance was so low that the entire project was scrapped and the one working prototype sent to [[Victory Research Facility]] where a team of engineers experimented with fitting it to a heavy-combat animal type mech designed on-site, with similar characteristics to the Iron Bison. The engines preformed beautifully on the super-heavy mech, allowing it to reach speeds similar to the lower-end of the high-speed spectrum. However, maneuvering such a bulky mech at those speeds was an impossible task for any pilot, so the project was mothballed and the researchers sent to other projects.

One of the Foundation’s goals is to provide stability: this is accomplished by determining what stabilizing factors a given civilization needs, and providing that to them. A perfect example comes when evolving civilizations make the transition from unskilled labor to skilled labor. Say a company makes cars: cars were originally assembled by hand on an assembly line, perhaps five hundred workers might have their hands on a given car as it moved down the line. Each worker had to know how to do only one thing, so the plant employed many unskilled labrorers. That same plant then replaces human hands with robot hands, and replaces five hundred workers with perhaps fifty, who must know how to service and maintain the robots, and the computers that operate them. This transition from five hundred grunt workers to fifty skilled workers does not leave four hundred-fifty jobless; it leaves all five hundred jobless, and hires fifty new people. Quite invariably, there are people unwilling or unable to make this transition, people who lack the education or resources to work at a skilled job. Worse still, if the society fails to provide enough opportunities for their children, these people become locked in a never-ending cycle of poverty. Not enough unskilled jobs around, not enough education to obtain skilled ones. Enter the Gudersnipe Foundation, and the Labor Mill. Labor Mills are usually constructed on otherwise uninhabited planets, because their presence near urban centers tends to hurt the economy more than help, by introducing a rapid influx of money. Instead, unskilled laborers are brought to these mills were they live and work, performing unskilled labor. They live in communities where they enjoy all the same comforts as skilled workers might, though because it is a 100% Foundation-controlled society, the economy is strictly regulated. However, these laborers are given a task to which they are suited, the opportunity to learn more challenging tasks, and most importantly; a top-of-the-line education for their offspring. The kind of work most often performed at these facilities could be done easier, faster, and cheaper by machine, but that’s not the point.
