Banji Articulator Construction VARG

 

 

 

 

 

Description

 

 

The Articulator is a common VARG used for heavy lifiting and construction. They can be found all over known space, from drilling in the belt, to building high-rises in downtown Sydney plodding away like yellow and black armored workers.

The Articulator comes in three main vaireties. The first is the basic no-frills construction VARG. The 0-G variant (Articulator-S) has maneuvering jets and magnetic pads on the feet. It also has an attachment to provide extended life support to the wearer (who must wear a vac-suit). The aquatic version (Articulator-A) has gimballed thrusters and bouyancy control to maneuver underwater. It also has a bulky enclosed pilot's compartment to withstand the pressures. This causes it to be ungainly on land (-3 to handing, mass 10).
