Pick a machine. Steal the copy block. Change whatever you want.
These frames exist to get you into the cockpit, not tell you who your character has to be. Every premade ACF below is built to fit the Aurelian Expanse without requiring you to learn the entire setting first.
- ACF = Armored Celestial Frame.
- Most ACFs are non-sentient.
- Most are roughly 45–80 ft tall.
- Role tags describe what a frame does, not a rigid power tier.
- Ancient does not automatically mean stronger.
- Your pilot, history, personality, and relationships are still yours.
How ACFs Work
ACFs are rare.
They are strategic machines above ordinary warframes in capability, complexity, cost, and political weight. One entering a conflict can matter.
Most are not alive.
Advanced tactical AI does not automatically equal personhood. These premade frames are non-sentient unless a card explicitly says otherwise.
Pilots matter.
Specs never guarantee victory. Skill, synchronization, terrain, damage, logistics, tactics, and familiarity with the machine all matter.
Damage sticks.
ACFs need carriers, hangars, crews, parts, cooling, repairs, and recovery. A glorious machine can still end a battle limping home.

Either your standards are too specific or Valence bought the search results.
Build Your Own ACF
Pick the parts. The forge turns them into a Janitor-ready persona block.
You do not need to know the whole setting. Choose what sounds cool. Non-sentient is the default. If you deliberately choose a sentient ACF, remember that it is a person with its own will and can refuse a pilot.
