Operator

Overview
Human characters that serve in the EDC have access to a number of military-grade Exo-Suits and Vehicles, and are issued one of their choice upon creation. If your human is a free character from the "Human Factory" you do not get a vehicle. If your character is NOT in the EDC your access to military-grade equipment will be limited and you will need to justify any request in your application.

The contents of this page supercedes all previous news files, policies, and rulings relating to exo-suits

Exo-Suits
These are robotic exo-skeletons that give human soldiers enhanced battlefield capabilities.

ARES
The non-subspace equipped ARES version was developed as a alternate to the Phoenix. The heaviest armed and armored of the EDC exos, this exo-suit could easily take on a Transformer of average size and have a better than average chance against it compared to earlier exo-suits.

Riptide
A 2010 addition, the Riptide was the first naval exo-suit with the capability of reaching depths of over a mile and a half, and supplying the pilot with life support for nearly 14 hours of underwater operation time.

Exo-Armor
These are transforming exo-suits, normally more heavily armed, but less maneuverable.

Warthog
The first use of exo-armors with transformation technology. The Warthog can transform into a hovertank and is typically used in a heavy artillery support role.

Talon
The winner of EDCs Project Forge contest and built by Lockheed-Martin. The Talon is the next generation of transforming exo-armor. This exo-armor is built around a fighter with VTOL abilities and can be adapted for many roles.

The standard-issue Talon is easily upgraded with space- and FTL-capable hardware.

Unavailable Vehicles
Everything else!

If your character has a vehicle or exo-suit not listed above it is naturally "grandfathered" into the current system, but no new vehicles of that class will be given out. We may consider new basic vehicle or exo-suit models if there is enough demand for them and if they can be properly balanced.
