General description:
    The Cheironyx Empire uses Zoids with medium to light armour, and quite varied designs. The Zoids are reasonably realistic, and range from bright, regal colours (such as imperial purple or bright yellow) to dull, realistic colours such as black and brown. The cockpits are well-armoured and can be almost any colour. Some Cheironyx Zoids, particularly the early ones, are visibly a mix of Helic and Guylos technology - using in particular powerful Guylos weapons, such as the Charged Particle Cannon and Gravity Cannon.
    When the Cheironyx Empire landed on Nyx, they formed an alliance with the Trion Republic. Although the influence was mainly one way, the Squidlings and Ammonider show some Trionic influence too. The Empire Zoids are varied in type as well, although the Kironix Zoids are the most common type. The Zoids also have a lot of weapons, especially the walking arsenal, Weapons Echidna. Weapons are generally taken from old Guylos Zoids, particularly the Gilvader, and are often plasma-based.

    Geno Drake is one of the biggest Zoids ever, and slightly longer than Seismosaurus at 56 metres. Despite its size, it is not particularly heavy, as its tail makes up most of its length. Designed by the Cheironyx Empire as their most powerful Zoid, it easily earns this title. Its weapons array includes a gigantic Gravity Cannon on its back, capable of devastating an Ultrasaurus, an ultra-powerful Charged Particle Cannon in its mouth with Plasma Flamethrowers on either side, and a collection of laser-guided missiles under the Geno Drake's wings. In front of the missiles are small laser blasters, designed for wide scattered fire. On the sides of the wings are Beam Smasher chainsaws, based on those of the Gilvader, which can be laser charged or project bursts of energy.
    In the chest of the Geno Drake is a heavy cannon, and on the upper legs are small laser blasters. The tail is no less formidably armed, with concussors along its length and laser and shrapnel guns on the sharpened tip. Protecting the Charged Particle intake fan on the back are 5 laser "turrets", which can face in any direction. The Geno Drake also has powerful mêlée weapons, with Tachyon Claws on the feet and Bite Fangs in the mouth. On the front of the wings are Grapple Claws, which can be launched on cables at enemies and shock them. Finally, the nose and neck of the Geno Drake are armed with Adamantite-reinforced titanium blades.
    To power the CPC in the mouth, there is a huge intake fan on the back of the Geno Drake, in which the Gravity Cannon is embedded. Also important for the CPC are heatsinks all along the tail, so that the Zoid does not overheat. As protection against enemies, the Geno Drake has a powerful Ionization Field that repels any matter-based attacks, including bullets. So that the Zoid is not thrown into the air when using it (the field also repels the ground), there are strong footlocks on each ankle. To reach its top speed of Mach 3.9, the Zoid also has huge rocket boosters on the back, behind the intake fan.
    The Geno Drake also has some reasonably strong stealth systems, including optical and infrared camouflage. The Zoid flies by using Magnesser wings, and Magnesser stabilizers keep up the 370-ton Zoid on land. Both of these are silenced, so as not to give it away in stealth mode. Finally, the Geno Drake has an Organoid System that gives it limited free will. This, however, proved to be the Empire's great mistake. The first Geno Drake was given a Hyper Organoid System, giving it a life of its own, and it escaped the factory without a pilot. This triggered the start of the 3rd Great Zoid war...
