Included in stock issues of the AMX 201, the AMX-20X-NGIW Wing Extension is a multi-tool swiss-army knife of propulsion assistance, field-control and mounting solutions in order to extend the mobility, reach and lethality of the Winter II.

Attached to the rear of the frame, it sits on a spine like armature able to raise and lower, either to sit on the shoulders as a backpack as norm or shifted down to the hips in order to make room for additional equipment. In this way, it fills the role of both the hip-fins of the 102 and also the large clamshell boosters of the 101 which gave the frame its excellent mobility performance.

In addition, the AMX-20X-NGIW Wing Extension for Winter II also serves as an internal payload bay which can be mounted on the frame externally.

The AMX-20X-NGIW Wing Extension for Winter II features a high number of hardpoints, designed for hand-held weapons or for externally mounted equipment such as missiles and bombs, with internal equipment protected from weapons-fire and external equipment able to launch without a given array needing to open.

Please note that depicted left is one of two arrays in an open configuration, hinged at the middle point and that the the AMX-20X-NGIW Wing Extension composed of two full arrays - one left, one right. The differing two are described as the left array and the right array, to distinguish them when listing loadouts (for example, right left Inner bay 1, left left Inner bay 1 corrisponding to the Left Inner bay 1 on first the right array, then the left array).

Inner bays are located beneath the master plate of a given assembly, inset into a cavity. This cavity is usually for specialty equipment, such as specialised weapons or performance enhancing equipment such as additional fuel tanks or capacitors.

• The "Fura-Galancier" Type 1 Effect for Winter II (ULWCP) is usually included by default.

External mount pylons are designed with fighter-style missiles in mind and are able to mount conventional fighter external weapons pylons, including those which bifurcate in order to allow more than a single missile to be mounted on the hardpoint.

Part of the central truss of a given array, the internal mount is designed for large bombs but may also mount specialist engines for improved performance or weapons systems.

Connected to the master plate of a given assembly, featherlets are small extensions mounted about the back of the AMX-20X-NGIW Wing Extension for Winter II. While each pair can mount 14, the entire assembly is about to mount 28 total. Common mounts include specialty missiles, thrusters or weapons pods.

The wing assembly itself is four repeated units, each consisting of larger plate and three smaller ones, a pair each forming a clamshell. Used properly, it is able to act as an engine, a means of docking weapons and equipment, a field controller and even as a physical shield if positioned over the body correctly and has a number of known configurations as well as others pilots are willing to discover themselves.

The AMX-20X-NGIW Wing Extension for Winter II is able to operate in a wide variety of different configurations, each optimised for different usage scenarios. Importantly, the wings very rarely “fully” occupy any single state and switch modes contextually – sliding between states smoothly.

Quite importantly, the device laminates itself in plasma, similar to the types seen in some shield projection systems and FTL engines, allowing for higher top sublight speeds due to the boosted expression of force, amplitude and wavelength to the frame's fieldic systems.

The most compact form, hip-fins serve to create an armored concealed internal munitions bay, ideal for bombs, missiles and hand-held equipment while simultaniously serving as an additional engine, optimized for speed. Its functionality draws inspration from the original clamshell engine pods of the original Winter frame.

Following the Lorath design maxim that “armor which does not sit between me and my enemy is a dead-weight”, the full armor configuration serves as a means of fitting thick heavy armor on the frame without impending its impressive mobility.

This armor comes in the form of four collapsable movable frame grade 'riot shields' which provide physical protection, augmenting the frame's shields on the same side. They rely greatly upon anticipating via statistical inference a strike is going to be and positioning the armor accordingly through a combination of manual adjustment, gravitationally funneling the shot toward the armor away from the body and propulsion control.

While the example shown demonstrates the full armor providng balanced protection over the whole body, it can be repositioned almost anywhere over the frame's body and even overlapped. Additional energetic defense is also possible : Similar to the FSBS and combined shield system of the 101, the full-armor mode can form a DEFLECTION BARRIER capable of tanking high damage low duration strikes.

Optionally, hand-held conventional shields can be mounted over the Wing Assembly (4 maximum) for additional protection.

Included barriers:

• Magnetic Shielding
• Plasma Shielding
• Gravitational Shielding

Combined barrier shield system: SP15 (threshold 4) Additional armor layer: SP9 (threshold 2)

Full Wing works by spreading the vectors of the Winter II's engines evenly for optimal mobility in all directions rather than raw linear acceleration along a straight path. In doing so, the frame's general combat maneuverability and agility is greatly increased, as well as its airborne stability for high precision firing when airborne.
