Haijhan Black Guard

The Black Guard was the first Haijhan power armour encountered by the Apollo Fleet. Its exact purpose is unknown, though appears to serve as a command unit.

Technical Information: Designated as “Black Guards” by the Apollo Fleet, the exact purpose of these units is unknown. Like all Haijhan craft, the Black Guard is actually a large suit of powered armour that encases a massive colony of 1-meter long worms that together form a strong and powerful entity. The craft is powered by five hydrogen reactors, one in each limb and one in the main torso, these power powerful sets of thrusters, in addition to life support and weapon systems. In case of injury, the armour’s nanites are capable of fixing gaps in the armour.

Weapons and Defenses: Black Guards are believed to be a specially formed Haijhan worm colony, consisting of the smartest specimens the hive produces. These units appear to be an equivalent to a field commander, or an ace. Unlike other Haijhan power armours, the Black Guard is encased in black armour, and is generally more humanoid in shape. Both hands of the power armour house a Spike Rifle, and its shield is more circular in shape, housing sixteen missile tubes. Instead of the full heat claw, the Black Guard uses a long Heat Sword Lance. Oddly, the strange tentacles that typically sprout from the torso of Haijhan units instead come from the unit’s ‘head’ like hair. Unlike other Haijhan power armours, the Black Guard is capable of generating a defensive Maser barrier for short periods of time.
