Jaegers (Hunter) are a special type of mobile weapon created by the Jaeger Program. The Jaegers were the most effective first and last line of defense against the Kaiju during the Kaiju War. The “Mark" label assigned to each Jaeger refers to the launch schedule. The production program was divided into five annual rollouts that began in 2015 and ended in 2019. Six Mark1’s were deployed in 2015, followed by the Mark2’s in 2016 and the Mark3's in 2017. Mark4 and Mark5 Jaegers were the last produced in 2018 and 2019. Jaegers have no standardized design template; bodytypes vary widely within each “mark." This level of diversity among the Jaeger designs and weaponry was a tactical response to the high variability in Kaiju shapes.
All Mark1 through Mark3 Jaegers utilized nuclear reactors, which put their pilots at substantial risk of developing cancer. Gipsy Danger and Cherno Alpha were the last active nuclearpowered Jaegers to play a part in the continued defense of Hong Kong and mission to assault the Breach. Mark4 and Mark5 Jaegers, however, used digital technology, minimizing the dangers to the pilots inside the ConnPod.
Unfortunately, the development of the Jaeger program was not cheap. The cost of building the Mark5 Jaeger Striker Eureka, was reported to be over a hundred billion dollars, more than ten times the cost of a nuclear aircraft carrier.
