XV107 R'varna Battlesuit - Armament: XV107 R'varna Battlesuits are towering in size, easily many times the size of the Fire Warrior who wears it. XV107s go into battle heavily armed with potent weapon systems and combat support systems that allow them to fight more effectively. However, no matter the battlesuit configuration or weapons load-out, all XV107 R'varna Battlesuits share some common features.These include the advanced sensors built into the primary sensor cluster that serves as the battlesuit's "head." These sensors, which consist of a number of variable spectrum passive sensors and active scanners, allow the battlesuit to detect hidden enemy units and their movement; this tactical data can then be transmitted back to T'au command units.All XV107 R'varna Battlesuits are also equipped with a Blacksun Filter, which is an advanced optical system that enhances and magnifies a warrior's low-light vision whilst simultaneously filtering bright flares of light that could blind him in battle, and a Multi-Tracker; a sophisticated fire control system that is mounted in a sensor node that assists Battlesuit pilots in engaging enemy threats by using multiple armaments at once, making them formidable opponents in a wide variety of battle conditions.As with all T'au Battlesuits, XV107s are protected by a very thick, dense nano-crystalline alloy armour named Fio'tak in the T'au Lexicon. This advanced alloy has an impact and energy resistant structure that is also sealed against assaults by toxins and corrosives, making it extremely resilient in the face of combat damage. Even the armour's shape helps deflect solid projectiles, while a reflective liquid metal coating is effective at reflecting medium-grade laser fire.Due to the R'varna's large size and significant potential as a target, additional nano-layers were also added during its development to upgrade the armour's thickness. When it comes to deflecting and withstanding damage, the XV107's armour is comparable to the Tactical Dreadnought Armour used by the Imperium's Terminator Space Marines. The material is also lightweight, which keeps the battlesuit's own weight down and reinforces its ground-based manoeuvrability.Despite this, an XV107 lacks a Jetpack incorporated into its design, instead it forgoes this system in favour of the ability to mount larger and more heavy weaponry, as well as more integrated support systems. All XV107 R'varna Battlesuits also greatly augment the natural physical strength of their pilots, and grant the warrior within the battlesuit the ability to crush even heavily armoured vehicles in close combat, if necessary. XV107 Battlesuits feature retractable fingers built into their forearms for use in more delicate -- and often non-combat -- tasks. The R'varna is outfitted with a sophisticated Artificial Intelligence (AI) system, complete with advanced combat systems and numerous comm-links to keep the pilot patched in to its cadre's T'au Commander.All XV107 R'varna Battlesuits are armed with twin Pulse Submunitions Cannons as standard. Unlike standard Pulse Weapons, these powerful cannons fire clusters of sophisticated micro-submunitions that detonate in close proximity to their target in a storm of separate pulse-discharges, showering a wide area with deadly effect. Larger targets such as bulky infantry, monstrous creatures and vehicles inevitably suffer proportionally greater harm from Pulse Submunitions Cannons, as they can be struck with a wave of near-simultaneous detonations, magnifying the blast and ripping them apart.All T'au Battlesuit weapon systems are fully integrated and supplied by continuous, high yield power relays and ammunition hoppers. XV107 R'varna Battlesuits are also designed with advanced recoil absorption technology, meaning that they can fire their weapons at maximum capacity and with maximum accuracy, even when on the move.XV107s are equipped with an integrated Shield Generator and a Flechette Discharger as standard. The Shield Generator provides similar defensive properties to an XV104's Riptide Shield Generator, except an XV107's Shield Generator provides marginally better protection against ranged firepower. The Flechette Discharger, a support system normally only mounted on T'au skimmer vehicles, fires high-velocity and potentially-lethal flechettes at infantry which try to assault the battlesuit. XV107 R'varna Battlesuits can also be equipped with up to two different T'au Battlesuit Support Systems, which are listed below.The experimental Dark Matter Nova Reactor prototype is another essential component of an XV107 R'varna's design, and is a slightly modified version of an XV104 Riptide Battlesuit's rerouted to different systems. Once the XV107 pilot deems it necessary, the reactor can be activated to supply near limitless amounts of energy. The resulting energies unleashed can be harnessed to either nova-charge the R'varna's primary weapon systems and double their rate of fire, boost the R'varna's leg locomotive systems and allow it to move at a flanking speed, emit an electromagnetic shockwave around the battlesuit and cause havoc with nearby electronic systems, or nova-charge the R'varna's integrated Shield Generator to make it an-all-but-impenetrable energy field that deflects virtually all incoming fire. When viewed from the front, an XV107 R'varna's Nova Reactor can be seen as the larger box on the left side of the torso, whilst the standard and more reliable fusion reactor normally used by the battlesuit is on the right.Due to the experimental nature of the XV107, it is often supported by a pair of prototype Shielded Missile Drones, which are a new T'au Drone configuration equipped with a Missile Pod and Shield Generator. These drones will often provide additional heavy fire support, and use their cohesive energy fields to absorb incoming shots, allowing the R'varna to acquire and destroy enemy targets with less fear of enemy fire.
