Description
The CEX-205 Groundhog is a Solaris VII produced exoskeleton designed for combat in arenas and on the battlefield in a support role. First developed in 3062 by Blue Shot Weapons, modular adapters added to the exoskeleton's manipulators allow it to switch to multiple roles.[1][2]
It was unclear if the Groundhog continued in production after Blake Invasion of Solaris VII of 3068.[3] Later intelligence discovered that the Groundhog was discontinued in 3071 due to heavy damage to the Blue Shot Weapons factory.[4]
There were persistent rumors that Blue Shot Weapons was experimenting with a Groundhog variant that mounted jump jets, but with their plant nearly destroyed, this "Leapfrog" suit never entered production.[2]
Equipment & Capacities
The Groundhog is equipped with pair of Modular Adapter type "hands". The Modular Adapters have two slots to accept wide range of tools including: Armored Gloves, Basic Manipulators, Cargo Lifters, Industrial Drills, Mine Clearance, and Salvage Arm. The Cargo Lifter gives the Exoskeleton 1 ton lifting capacity. It is features a Searchlight and Mission Equipment Storage unit with capacity upwards to 145 kilograms.[1]
The Skeleton is protected by 100 kilograms of Standard armor and has capacity reaching 30 kilometers hour.[1]
While Equipped with Basic Manipulators & Armored Glove modules, the suit can conduct anti-'mech swarm and leg attacks. The suite may use standard infantry weaponry and equipment only when using the Basic Manipulators.[1]
The Groundhog has the equipment rating of D/X-X-C/C.[1]
