Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Hazard Battlesuit

"Hazard battlesuit activated and ready to rumble"

-Hazard Battlesuit

The XV9 Hazard Battlesuit close support armour is a new weapon in the armoury of the Lumeris Syndicate's Tau Merchant Guards. It is a sophisticated and powerful T'au Battlesuit that has remained something of a controversy both among the Syndicate and Merchant Guards. Though undoubtedly powerful, its armament is short-ranged and the battlesuit's systems are more complex than any that has come before it, requiring a veteran's skills to master its power in combat and being a significant investment in resources to construct.

History
Created with the goal of countering the growing armies of Gaiaterra such as Voshkod and Collective in mind, the XV9's battlefield role is focused on applying overwhelming firepower in relatively short range engagements against numerically superior foes. The XV9 performs this role admirably due to its possession of the greatest degrees of durability and mobility Tau and Syndicate technology can currently provide.
