HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS

The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS was an experimental bipedal powered exoskeleton developed by the United Nations Space Command. The only known prototype was constructed and stored in Weapons Research Facility T12A on Algolis.
The Mark I ADS was an offshoot of the HRUNTING powered exoskeleton project. However, despite its effectiveness in simulations, the project was ultimately scrapped due to significant cost overruns. The sole remaining combat-ready prototype was destroyed, along with all of its data due to the enactment of the Cole Protocol during the Battle of Algolis.
== History ==
The HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype was first used by Sergeant Simon "Ghost" Riley during the Battle of Algolis to hold off Imperial forces long enough for the surviving civilians and soldiers to escape, destroying as many Imperial troops and vehicles as he could with the suit's powerful arsenal. He was eventually overwhelmed and sacrificed himself by initiating the suit's self-destruct, destroying it along with himself and a large number of enemy combatants within the vicinity.
==Features==
The exoskeleton is constructed primarily from titanium alloy and carbon nanotubes. Unlike the weaker but more efficient MJOLNIR system, the user does not need to be augmented to safely operate the suit, and the integrated weapons and improved target assessment systems bypass the need for a neural interface link. The suit uses simple laser and radio for communications and doesn't recycle fluids.
The suit features a 30 kiloton lead-tampered nuclear fission self-destruct sequence component (in compliance with Cole Protocol), which reuses the fusion components of the suit's power system and begins a staggered countdown, final detonation can only be triggered with a pre-programmed voice command.
===Armaments===
The main strength of the suit lies in the myriad of weapon systems it boasts, each integrated directly into the infrastructure of the exoskeleton. The right arm ends in a six-barreled 20mm rotary cannon. A targeting sensor suite resides in a large cylindical housing mounted on top of that. A LAU-1810 missile launcher is mounted on The right shoulder, and an M149 Magellan recoilless rifle is mounted on the left shoulder. The left arm ends in a mechanical hand used to both operate weapons and manipulate external objects.
To complete the complement, three M-18 Anti-Armor Claymore explosives are attached to each thigh, each yielding enough explosive power to either critically disable or destroy a main battle tank upon detonation.
===Equipment===
The suit makes use of a number of systems to operate efficiently in heavy combat. One of these is an integrated jetpack used for powered flight. This jetpack uses a total of four stabilizers and four afterburner thrusters located on the front and back of the suit. Directional control seems to be provided by shifts in balance by the operator. When not in use, the pack's thrusters fold into slots in the suit to protect from external damage. Another useful addition is the incorporation of the core technology behind ONI's reverse-engineered, and extremely rare, Bubble Shields. The dynamic nature of the shield makes it automatically engage when the suit comes under heavy fire.
