The Fenris suit was designed as a high mobility air cavalry power armour similar to the Zentraedi Nousjadeul-ger (Male Power Armour) for TC Artic Division troops to defend Antarctic research stations and the rebuilt Alaska base. This suit was designed to operate in extremely cold temperatures. Due to its successful use in artic regions, the Alpine Division also began using the Fenris to assist in high altitude and rocky terrains. The large armour has retractable 'snow shoes' to spread the weight when the Fenris lands in the snow.

The Fenris excelled at reconnaissance and air assault missions. The Fenris tended to operate in squads to overwhelm larger mecha. The troops using them tended to encourage the wolf pack mentality and mythos that the power armour was named after.

The Fenris was produced in only comparitvely limited numbers by the ASC. Many of them survived the Second Robotech War as they never faced combat. The Fenris proved to be useful against the small Invid Scouts and Hive Guards whan used by resistance fighters during the Third Robotech War.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE FENRIS:

• Radar: Range: 30 km. Standard operation.
• Radio/Video Communications: Wide band, directional radio and video telecast capabilities. Range: 1000km, or can be boosted by satellite.
• Laser Targeting System: Close range; 1 km
• Combat Computer: Calculates, stores & monitors data on the control panel computer screen or Heads-up display
• External Audio Pickup: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
• Loudspeaker: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
• Searchlight: The Fenris has a searchlight built into it's chest. Range: 50 meters.
• Optics: Infrared: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
• Optics: Nightvision: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
• Optics: Thermal Imager: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-colour visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
• Protoculture Engine: The Fenris is powered by Protoculture power cells.
• Parachute: The Fenris is equipped for airdrop operations.

The RPG Misidetified this mecha as the CU (TSC) Space Battloid, which was wrong on all three counts. The mecha did not appear in the animation, but may have appeared in SDC: Southern Cross.
