Mech
From Yb Timeline
A Mech is a large vehicle or robot, usually humanoid, that can be used for either use for military or civilian use, usually operated by a pilot inside a cockpit. Mechs are generally, though not necessarily, bipedal, with arms, hands, and fingers capable of grasping objects. A mecha that approximates the shape of a human body allows the use of martial arts movements and swordsmanship, ceremonial acts of honor, saluting, and other human mannerisms that cannot be performed using a tank or airplane.
Any type of large machinery that uses mech technology is concidered mobile armor or a walker.

Types of Mechs
Mobile Suit
Mobile suits are the most popular and most numerous type of a mech. As humanoid combat vehicles, they typically employing two arms to deploy or weild weapons, two legs and a jetpack for propulsion agility, and a head that acts as a main camera and sometimes houses a secondary weapon that acts as a rotating turret (with the head itself providing the rotation). Typically speaking, a mobile suit is approximately around between 40 to 60 feet in height, with a cockpit located in the unit's torso. However, exceptions are not uncommon; units that are much larger or slightly smaller are not unheard of, and occasionally the cockpit is located in the head, as well. The name "mobile suit" is believed to be a combination of the terms "Mobile Infantry" and "powered armor suit" when Darkcorp first made one. They are generally used for their versatility, with many models being usable in a wide variety of environments; from inside space colonies, outer space, ground, and even occasionally underwater or in mid-air.
They stated off as exclusive Darkcorp weapons to used for their personal armies, PMCs. Due to major flaws, they can't used in the battlefield or sold to clients. After the Sneeziers merged, Sneezier himself used the mobile suit information and gave a copy to Star World Yards and build a few for himself to a lesser extent, his fellow YB members. His sucessful mobile suit is the E-Frame Y-Mech, the first Y-Mech Mobile Suit series while the SWDF created the Jegan MK.I. Eventually, the technology became less flawed as it become mainstreamed within the entire Galactic Cluster. The Galactic Federation eventually made their own versions of the Jegan Mobile Suit Series as well as the Cyber Bell Vanguard made advanced models.
Recently, Star World Colonists led by Sneezier discovered ancient yet advanced mobile suits inside a Celestial Architect city thus the precursors are the first creators of the mobile suits.
