- Assorted Alloys: Crafted from various metals, alloys and weaves, the BDE offers it's operator a very high resistance to most conventional forms of attack.
- Sealed: The BDE is vacuum proof, and can survive in a low-to-no oxygen environment, and can filter gases, toxins, and other airborne hazards.
- Insulated: The BDE is highly resistant to the elements and is designed to operate efficiently and safely in any environment it is put into, whether it be space, snow, or sand.
- Information Database: The BDE utilises an advanced HUD Suite to keep track of it's many functions, aswell as target hostiles and provide relevant environmental information.
- EMP-Proof: The BDE incorporates various Anti-EMP/ION technology, giving it an above-average resistance to EMP/ION technology.
- Armed to the Mother-Karkin' Teeth: The BDE is, by all definitions, a walking armoury. A Device of Divine Destruction. If there is an opportunity for offensive capability, it's been taken.
- Corrupted Communications: The BDE has no protection or countermeasures against communications scrambling.
- Sonic Boom: The BDE possesses no protection against sonic attacks, and is vulnerable to them.
- Behemoth: The BDE is extremely heavy, thanks in no small part to it's arsenal of weaponry and armour.
- Liquidised: The BDE offers minimal protection against extreme temperatures, particularly, lava/magma.
- Noticeable: The BDE has no countermeasures against detection, as it is a massive, weaponised exoskeleton. Honestly, even if it was invisible, you'd still hear it coming a mile away.
- Mechanical Muscles: The BDE's movement is entirely mechanical, based around the use of hydraulics for it's lifting and walking power. That said, when one is given a bag of seeds, they don't plant just one. They plant the whole bag. The BDE's hydraulics are thus, not the bare minimum, but are maximised in power.
The BDE is the theoretical pinnacle of destructive potential. The peak of power. It's what happens when you give an power-mad team of designers one task with no limitations, no budget, just as long as it obeys the laws of physics. Design a Machine of War worthy of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Make something that'll maximise the safety of the operator and the minimise the safety of the enemy.
This is what they thought of.
An exoskeletal battle-suit with armour plating made of five different metals. Shoulder mounted rocket launchers with enough power to destroy a tank. A tractor beam cannon with a grenade launcher on either side. A wrist-mounted, three-barrelled minigun made of three light-weight medium machine guns and a flamethrower for fun. Shoulder-mounted fog lights made unnecessary by night vision. Magnetic hand and foot grips.
An oxygen tank, four Isotope-5 Power Cells, insulation and life-support. And a jump pack to traverse the less-friendly inclines. Painted a traditional, military green with a white CIS Emblem on the cockpit hatch.
Some might call the lack of openings to view from a disadvantage. In reality, it's an improvement. No weakpoints leading to a fatal blow. Instead, the operator views through built-in cameras that are sleek against the armour and as durable as durasteel. These cameras are mostly forward facing, and plentiful, offering the operator an almost constant view of the battlefield, even if one of the cameras were to be destroyed.
These cameras are overlayed by the Tyr-Type HUD Suite, which provide thermal, night, infrared, and electromagnetic imaging, aswell as environmental information, suit statistics, full control of the suits systems, advanced targeting, and many, many more features.
The BDE itself stands at a full-height of 15 feet, or a rough 5 metres. The operator has the option of sitting or standing, depending on their height. Regardless, they are strapped in by a six-point harness and are surrounded by a cushioned cabin so that the harm they receive within the suit is minimal at best.
