TERRAN FRONTLINE COMMAND — UNIT CHASSIS KIT (internal kit key `nova`)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCIPLINE. TECHNOLOGY. UNITY.
The base roster was the oldest art in the game and it showed: every ground
vehicle was `runningGear()` plus `hullShell()` plus one distinguishing lump,
which at command-view zoom is fifteen identical grey slabs. Worse, it was
also the most EXPENSIVE roster in the game — the Nova Goliath cost 4,072
triangles against the Dominion walker's 2,232 for the same slot, because
runningGear() spends 1,400-2,300 of them on per-wheel hydraulic rams hidden
behind a track skirt that this camera never looks under. The army that
looked the cheapest was paying the most for it.
Everything here is built on `trackUnit()` instead (496/560/712 triangles for
light/medium/heavy — the same read for a quarter of the cost), and the
difference is spent on the part of the silhouette a player actually sees:
the deck, the weapon and the outline.
THE DOCTRINE. The Frontline Command is a professional combined-arms force
and its machines are MAINTAINED. The vocabulary, repeated on every chassis
so the army reads as one manufacturer before it reads as one colour:
- welded monocoque hulls: a lower tub, a smaller upper deck stepped in on
top of it, and a bevel on every exposed edge. No applique, no rivets;
- a RAKED glacis that actually rakes fore-aft (see the wedge note below),
with a brow lip and tow shackles either side of it;
- deliberate panel breaks — a recessed seam with a bright edge — rather
than large blank plate;
- crew hatches, sensor masts and vision blocks. These are crewed vehicles
and it should be obvious;
- stowage strapped down where a crew would strap it, and ammunition
lockers bolted to the flanks;
- DUCTED exhaust exiting sideways behind a heat shield. The Dominion vents
straight up through open stacks because nobody paid for ducting; that
contrast is the point;
- the livery band lands in the SAME PLACE on every chassis — the top edge
of the track skirt — with a second panel on the turret cheeks.
Restraint is the character. It is the opposite of the Dominion's riveted
expendable iron and the opposite of the Coalition's cockpitless hovering
machines, and it gets there by being deliberately plainer than either.
CONTRACT, copied from mdlNovaRhino(): +X is forward (the direction the unit
shoots), +Y is up, Z is lateral, the lowest point of a ground vehicle sits
at y=0, and a builder returns {hull, tur, s, turH}. Unturreted units return
tur:null and no turH.
MATERIALS ARE LOAD-BEARING.
TEAM_A / TEAM_B / TEAM_T are the only surfaces the faction colour reaches
in full; everything else takes a partial wash. Two to five panels per
model, never the whole hull. Hulls are MET/MET_L/MET_D on purpose so the
body still carries the wash; weapons and machinery are TWR_MACH, which
the shader washes far less, so the gun reads as steel against a tinted
vehicle.
SERVO marks a LEG — the vertex stage swings anything wearing it through
the walk cycle. It appears in this file ONLY on mdlTfcWalker and the two
infantry, which are the only Nova slots with `legs:1` AND actual legs.
The Goliath's TYPES row has said legs:1 for as long as it has existed;
the old model was a tracked tank, so the flag animated nothing.
HOT / ENERGY / LAMP are emissive and are rationed to exhaust bores, muzzle
collars, equipment cores and hatch beacons.
THE WEDGE TRAP. MeshBuilder.wedge() slopes across its THIRD axis, so a wedge
dropped in at yaw 0 ramps SIDEWAYS — every "glacis" authored in the base
roster is really a lateral A-frame, and it was never caught because a sloped
shape still looks sloped in a screenshot. glacisX() yaws a quarter turn so
the ridge sits at the rear and the slope runs down to the nose. Every sloped
plate in this file goes through it or through tfcProw().
Names are prefixed tfc/mdlTfc because this repo is one global scope and
`verifyglobals.mjs` fails the build on a duplicate top-level name.

parameter at all. Every `cyl(..., Math.PI/2)` in this library therefore
builds a cylinder STANDING ON END with its end caps switched on, which is
why wheelAsm()'s tyres, runningGear()'s hubs, the Scorcher's fuel drums and
the Warden's hose reel are all vertical discs rather than anything lying
across a hull — and, like the wedge, it was never caught because a circle

TYPES has carried legs:1 on this slot since it was written and the game's
own intel copy calls it an assault walker; the old model was a tracked tank,
so the flag animated nothing and the army had no legged silhouette at all
between the Striker and the TITAN. Rebuilt as what the data already said it
was — and that also solves the readability problem, because at 60 pixels a
walker is the only thing in a Frontline column that is not a tracked box.

Four slots, one doctrinal object: a BOX OF TUBES on an elevating cradle.
Ranges 175 / 120 / 96 / 210 and splash 24 / 52 / 46 / 60 — every one of them
throws area fire out of open tubes, and the sim already tells them apart on
screen because `size` runs 16 / 19 / 17 / 24, so the Harbinger draws half
again as large as the Hornet from the same mesh.
The cradle elevates and the tubes are genuinely open: a closed box reads as
cargo, and this roster has already made that mistake once.

Two structural facts drive most of what is below, and both come from reading
the builders rather than the names:
- novaServicePad() paints its slab TWR_PAD, which the faction remap turns
into NOVA_CARBON. Nine Nova structures stand on that pad, so nine
buildings were standing on VEHICLE carbon. FOUNDATION_PAD is one key per
asset and it is the single largest legibility win in this table.
- the architectural colours resolve through matResolve() before they ever
reach here: NOVA_*_ROOF arrives as MAT.ROOF, NOVA_*_GLASS as
CURTAIN_GLASS, NOVA_*_TRIM as MAT.TRIM and NOVA_*_GLOW as SYN_CONDUIT.
