Mercuria: Yes, the Lancer is the name of the chassis itself. Its design was devised by the top masters of the Royal Cygnaran University. Latest mainstay of the Cygnaran army for the fact it is essentially a mobile defensive Arc node put into a warjack frame, but not bad with spear and shield in hand. All the most powerful warcasters use at least one.

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)(@Oliver) Hastur: Hello, Bor... Oliver. Somewhat hazy, to be honest. Unknown Kadath is a horrible place to visit when one's got matters of urgency to attend to. One hour there is one year here.
(@Mercuria) Hastur: There are reasons, you have to admit. Only the bravest and the foolest can smile when dealing with something or someone of such an eldritch kind.

Mercuria: @Baru It hopefully shouldn't come down to that. I spent enough years and hours studying the designs that I'll probably blow a gasket myself if either of them blows one.
@Hastur ...That does explain why several of us look so cheerful today.
We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)(@Oliver) Hastur: Pretty much, though it's hard to word it properly given that it was mostly intentional on my uncle's part. An amoral god-jerkass with semi-unlimited power over physical constants is one of the worst nemeses one could have.
(@Mercuria) Hastur: To be honest, I probably should be cheerful too, given that this multiversal wretch is finally getting what it deserves. Well... It likely will. But being too laidback isn't something I can afford today. ...
Hastur sighs, then shrugs.
Hastur: I've come back with some awesome stuff worth of my year-long absence. But those are for celebration. So you all may think that it was some sort of motivation just now.
(@Oliver) Hastur: Well, creatures like the one we're about to encounter are honestly closer to a natural disaster than a malevolent will. Those are akin to my great-progenitor, Azathoth, but the scale isn't that grandiose. But these details are of no matter. The most important fact is that while some of you are reluctant deep inside, you're still up for the cause.
(@Mercuria) Hastur: Well... It takes an eldritch abomination to destroy one, I guess. Even if I am as an ant compared to it in my current state. But if there's something I can do, it will get done.
