Overview
Whilst similar in design to the more common XV8 Crisis Battlesuit, the Broadside sacrifices mobility and manoeuvrability to be armed with some of the most devastating weapons in the Merchant Guard arsenal.

In this way, they can engage and destroy the heaviest of enemy targets. Each Broadside Battlesuit carries firepower comparable to that of a battle tank, and these incredibly resilient battlesuits are most commonly deployed to provide punishing long-ranged fire support to Syndicate infantry in battle.
