The AAP07: BALTEUS is an autonomous craft fielded by the Planetary Closure Administration during the Coral War.

Overview[]

The BALTEUS is composed of a large mobile platform possessing incredible aerial maneuverability and hover capability for a machine of its size, with an MT attached in front serving as its control center. Its most distinctive feature is the large ring attached to its main body, which is a rail system onto which various weapon systems including missile launchers and flamethrowers that also act as flame swords stored in its body can move and slide in different ways to give it a very wide weapons coverage. A multi-tube missile launcher and a grenade launcher are also mounted on the main body, while the attached MT carries three Gatling guns on its right arm, and a quadruple-barreled scatter gun on its left arm.

To compliment its already formidable armor, the BALTEUS is also equipped with a Pulse Armor generator that it keeps active at all times, and in emergencies it is also equipped with Assault Armor to deter enemies that get too close.

Gameplay[]

In ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON, the BALTEUS is a boss NPC fought in the final Chapter 1 mission, "Attack the Watchpoint." It appears following the cutscene that plays once the player completes the fifth objective, "Infiltrate control center and destroy target device," and its defeat leads to the last cutscene that ends mission.

As of Regulation Ver. 1.02.1, its attacks have been adjusted.^[2]

An upgraded version appears later on in the Liberator of Rubicon path's penultimate mission, Chapter 5's "Destroy the Drive Block."
