Strengths |
- | Machine Control | Exploiters were designed and built around a specific purpose, and that is the manipulation and control over beasts mutated by the Technovirus as well as machine domination - They are capable of controlling and directing small droid swarms to assist on the battlefield in addition to Technobeasts. Exploiters are also capable of performing extremely difficult slicing operations with little trouble thanks to the tech integrated into them. Their suits are outfitted with cutting edge slicing routines to aid in any slicing operation, or to overtake electronic systems.
- | Heavy Shielding | Exploiters are designed around experimental and very finnicky technology that can be disrupted if damaged. To compensate for this, Exploiters are equipped with several layers of shielding to protect them from most weapons they may encounter on the field.
- | Support | Exploiter suits are not designed for frontline combat, functioning more as an auxiliary support unit. While it is built to handle being shot at, it lacks any offensive functions apart from the beasts/systems that are under its control.
- | EMP | Ironically, the suit designed for advanced slicing and remote operation is particularly susceptible to EMP/Ionic effects. There are few systems that protect the delicate balance of electronics onboard once it has been breached, thus rendering the suit inoperable for its primary function for the time it is affected.
DESCRIPTION
The KVX 'Exploiter' Support Suit was built to be an auxiliary support unit capable of advanced slicing operations and machine manipulation without the use of Force powers such as Mechu-deru. Most notably, the Exploiters were designed around beast control, being able to manipulate species mutated and modified by the Technovirus, bringing them under their full control alongside a host of droid types that can be remotely controlled and operated.
Based off the KVX 'Dragoon' Combat Suit GEN II, the Exploiter does feature some of the same functions as well as additions to it, most notably it takes the shield system and further upgraded it to make for an extremely durable and hard to damage suit. Like most suits featured under the KVX designation, it also comes with up to an hour of built in life support to sustain the operator in hostile environments, as well as shock absorbers and magboots to latch onto starship hulls should the need to board enemy vessels or operate in zero-g environments arise.
Where Exploiters excel is their control over Technobeasts and other Sithspawn that may have been technologically augmented. Similar in fashion to how Force Users can 'persuade' or influence sentient creatures, the Exploiter was designed to emulate this over machines. Through a mixture of remote slicing abilities and inspiration from the ways of mechu-deru, Exploiters can dominate machines and other electronic devices. As a result, they are excellent at directing small swarms of drones or droids to assist combat units or provide cover fire.
Also like most suits with the KVX designation, they are to be worn exclusively by members of the Red Legion, in order to maintain peak efficiency and ensuring only the best and well suited individuals are operating it.
