Description: Tazi's Machines have invented a versatile walker which provides the wearer with a wide range of weapon selections and tactical systems.
Users must be trained to use the walker, and can learn from Cadan Tazi.
The walker is able to survive in space for one hour before the oxygen runs out and before the walkers systems begin to fail.
There were two prior walkers before Cadan finally finished the MkIII. Cadan had used slaves as test subjects for his suits. The MkI failed as the turning mechanism was to strong, crushing the slave inside. To save clean up Cadan had the MkI destroyed. The MkII was almost a success. Everything worked except the weapons systems. Which was lucky as the slave inside tried to kill Cadan, after an hour long fire-fight, he and his men survived the fight, but ended up destroying the suit. Finally the MkIII came about with everything working properly.
The Walkers are sent out in a group of three, one commander per group.
An engine is located in the back of the walker to provide it with power. If the engine is hit there is a chance it will shut down or even explode.
The maximum distance that the jump jet can allow the walker to jump is 20 meters. This can only be a one use jump, even if it jumps less than 20 meters.
