They're primarily used by civilian law enforcement, private security agencies, nobles, and corporations across the Lyran Alliance and other succession States. They can be found more numerously in the Alliance's Coventry Province.[2]
As a SecurityMech, rare by Interstellar Law, the Copper is primarily an anti-riot 'Mech, which can also act in security situations. The 'Mech has no military grade environmental sealing, which limits the pilot to wearing a gas mask or air tank if the area they're operating in has hazards in the air (or a a lack thereof).[2]
The 'Mech is limited to 64.8 kph by its Fuel Cell powered engine.
The Copper production line came through the Jihad intact, but the Word of Blake did control the production lines for a time.[3]
Contents
Weapons and Equipment
The Copper is armed with an SRM-2 Launcher in its left arm with ton of ammunition, which is typically loaded with tear gas ammunition. In its right arm, the 'Mech mounts two Machine Guns with one ton of ammunition. They most often use rubber bullets in riot situations.[2][4]
Variants
- CPK-19
- This model is Star League Era Copper, is the original design first was sold in 2619. It differs from the CPK-65 only slightly with it's ICE power plant with no Heat Sinks and two additional machine guns (with ammunition) placed in the left arm instead of the 65's SRM-2. Aside from those differences, the CPK-19 is identical to CPK-65. BV(2.0)=310[5][6][7]
Comparable Desings
- GS-54 Guard - built by Ceres Metals (15 ton, quad chassis, 2 Machine Guns)[2]
- CCU-36 Pacifier - built by Alshain Weapons (30 ton)[2]
- ITW-80 Inquisitor - built by Irian Technologies, Unlimited (35 ton)[2]
Related Designs

Notes
The design is noted to have several earlier variants prior to the 3065 model of the Copper. CPK-19 is the only named variant.[2], has been given stats as of this writing.[8]
As of this writing, MUL Profiles for both versions of the Copper featured in this article are not updated with new information from Record Sheets: Vehicle Annex, IndustrialMechs and Exoskeletons. The CPK-19 profile does not list it's battle value.
