This all looks good, but are you sure you want to call them Imperium Walkers? George Lucas didn't invent big machines of that type.

of course no. We can't think good names for fractions. And walkers are also known as Mechs... But we are afraid of unneeded comparisons. We will have new names for fractions and some kinds of technology. If you can give advice we'll thankful

I really like the story line possibilities of a colony using, but not fully understanding, a superior technology devised by the ancients. This sounds like a fun era!

[boru]

of course no. We can't think good names for fractions.

Sure you can. What do they look like? What do they do? To me, they look a bit like giant flightless birds, like ostrich, emu, cassowary. Or a type of dinosaur, maybe Allosaurus. I'd avoid calling them "mechs," I think it's a bit of a science fiction cliche.

Here is a type of walking unit called the Big Dog.

It looks great, but not much like a bike... Maybe the tires are not enough large.

Some references that may help :
Akira : Kaneda's bike

I didn't find a good image of the bike in wonderful days, but maybe you could watch this movie for references... It take place in a closed universe much like yours.

Well, real name of tank is ST-1 (Siege Tank 1). Siege is synonym for the throne, isn't it?

No, a siege is a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling the surrender of those inside. Nothing to do with a throne. (edit: in the english language, I mean)

[Vranca]

actually it does,they are synonyms.

[Zerovirus]

The word Siege does mean Seat in an archaic context, as in the Siege Perilous or Perilous Seat, from Arthurian mythology, but that connotation isn't used commonly nowadays and naming a unit Siege Whatever would be interpreted more in the military meaning of the word Siege than the historical meaning.

[Shinobody]

Imperial Walkers, Siege Tanks...
You know? I think more generic names (Like Driller and Mecha) would bring LESS unwanted comparisons.

[Chronometr]

Really, about "walkers" was just a joke.
Siege Tank isn't StarCraft only term but we'll try to change it.
