Haijhan Marauder

The Marauder was the second Haijhan power armour encountered by the Apollo Fleet. It serves as the general-purpose front-line solider.

Technical Information: Designated as “Marauders” by the Apollo Fleet, these soldiers consist of the Hive-Empire’s primary fighting force. Like all Haijhan craft, the Marauder 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: The Marauder’s primary weapon consists of a ‘Spike Rifle’, a weapon which uses magnetic propulsion to fire large, heated spikes of metal. Due to their immense heat the spikes are very effective at piercing armour, and can cause heating and possible melting issues if in very close proximity. To defend itself it carriers a shield of a very dense and heavy alloy, which also sports a powerful heated claw weapon. The armour’s back spikes may seem decorative at first, but if an enemy gets too close, they can actually bend around to impale their foe.
