"'Lets get this show on the road boys!!' unnamed Mech pilot during the 2nd battle of Harvest"The KAB-11 also and more commonly referred to as the Raptor  was a advanced combat mech used by the TEC during the TEC-UEG war, TEC-Khoan war, TEC-Vasari war, TEC-Advent war, the Khoan civil war, and the Khoan -Flood war, they are also being used during the UGA - Unity conflict. The Mech is armed with advanced but primitive weapons even compared to the UNSC.

Introduction
The KAB-11 was to replace older mech models many such as the KAB-9 were retired and with some being retrofitted for policing  and riot control operations, others were scrapped. The KAB-11 was modifed and many different variants were produced which used for different operations from cargo lifting, Construction, Anti-vehicle, artillery, siege warfare, assault, and even space combat. The KAB-11/r "Rhino" was a variant of the Raptor and used against the Flood, this variant was armed with railcannons. The mech was very popular with the TEC both military and the public in general, and was known as the "Hero of Humanity", propaganda featured it battling and single handy driving the alien invaders back.

The KAB-11 was eventually retired and set to be replaced following the start of the UGA - Unity Conflict, however they were still being carried in Kol class battleships, Akkan class battlecurisers, and Corsev Battlecruisers, as the phasing out of the KAB-11 hadn't been scheduled for another three years. The TSS "Liberty" which was the flagship of the Marian defense Fleet still carried KAB-11's, 9's, and 10's in its cargo hold.
