[Featured Ships and Others] XC-F01 Hibuki and others

Hibuki

A destroyer with capabilities comparable to a light cruiser, equipped with four powerful engines from SAIKOUJI INDUSTRY.

While its main gun is limited to destroyer-class firepower, it boasts exceptional range and precision bombardment capabilities, making it suitable for use as a sniper vessel.

As secondary armaments, one rapid-fire cannon and one laser Gatling gun are mounted at the bow, and one rapid-fire cannon and one Gatling gun at the stern.

One Gatling gun is mounted on the underside of the hull.

Additionally, the ship is equipped with five automatic anti-aircraft machine guns distributed across the hull, missile launchers, and space torpedo launchers, making its armament surpass even that of Cerberus.

Marks? (Image is stylized for comedic effect)

A military android capable of autonomous operation and battlefield support.

Given as a farewell gift by Shinnosuke's older sister when he opened his business, becoming Shinnosuke's partner.

Marks is an older model and cannot have organic tissue applied to its exterior, so it appears entirely robotic. However, it carries various portable items such as small weapons and tools, and thus wears a work uniform and a work vest.

Basic communication such as conversation is possible, but due to the rudimentary version of its built-in emotional functions, its responses remain mechanical.

However, as it spends more time with Shinosuke, its growth becomes remarkably unconventional.

Synthetic Fruit Tea

A beverage sold in the central colony of the Salius Province.

Though beneficial for health, some people drink it for wellness reasons, though its taste is unique.

Though it's better than being hot or cold, at the port office and convenience stores where ships docking at the central colony for the first time stop to complete formalities, they deliberately serve tea at a warm temperature, recommending it to newcomers to the colony.

This is the so-called port office "prank."

Even though Shinnosuke personally dislikes the taste and isn't health-conscious, he buys it in bulk and drinks it regularly.

The ingredients are unknown, and Shinnosuke himself doesn't understand why he's so hooked on it.

Using editing tools, Mark finally completed the design.

But for some reason, it's distorted!

Only the head matches the creator's original vision—please use it as a reference.

As for Shinnosuke, no character design quite felt right, so it remains unposted for now.
