Panther, CDHS-22

CDHS-22 Panther Quadruped Hardsuit

                   It wasn't until several of these Hardsuits [along with the other three models] were captured that the Star Nations were able to find out what happened to the bodies of the deceased military personnel that had been stolen from numerous military graveyards across the galaxy [most noticeably the Theban Clusters New Arlington].

Inside these Hardsuits the bodies were hardwired straight into the suits interfaces and electro-stimulation, Nano-technology and various types of cross-dimensional parasites keep the bodies functioning and under the control of the commanders of the Cross Dimensional Forces.

Later on capture of some of these suits however showed that even living personnel can be used as well however they are pretty much brainless zombies under the control of some unknown puppet master.

Later on after the Shadovaran were genetically engineered by the Black Council they were issued these power armors for use and after the Black Councils defeat and the Shadovaran created the Shadow Reaches they still continue to use these hard suits to this day.

The Panther is a quadrupedal design hard suit [the first and only of its kind]. The back of the armor opens up down the spine wide enough for the wearer to crouch and back their legs into the rear legs of the armor and then bend over and slide their arms into the forward legs with the final bit being the head placed inside the armored sensor dome at the front of the armor.

The Panther has three claws on each leg allowing it to easily grasp just about any terrain easily allowing to achieve speeds that even a two legged suit can’t reach.
