Praetorian MK1 — FORGE Variant
Tool integration and field fabrication. Built around an engineer who also built her own crystal-powered mechanical dog. The suit works around the dog rather than despite it.
Configuration Overview
The FORGE variant integrates engineering tools across the suit frame — structural repair systems, field fabrication capability, and applied chemistry deployment. Power routing is specifically adapted to support extended secondary power draw for operator tools and auxiliary equipment.
Approved Tool Integration
| System | Function |
|---|---|
| Fabrication arms | Structural manipulation, field assembly and disassembly |
| Chemistry deployment | Applied adhesives, solvents, accelerants — mission-specific loading |
| Crystal cell interface | Extended secondary power draw for operator tools |
| Diagnostics array | Remote sensing, material analysis, suit repair assessment |

Non-Standard Equipment — On Record
Prior to departure, operator FORGE constructed an autonomous crystal-powered quadrupedal unit of her own design. It was not authorised. It does not appear in the equipment manifest. It was identified on inspection. It was not removed.
The FORGE variant suit was modified post-manufacture to accommodate the unit's operational integration. The modification is functional. The unit is listed as FORGE's personal equipment. It does not appear in any official manifest. It is on the deployment.
Operator Profile
Worn by FORGE. Expert in mechanical engineering, applied chemistry, and field fabrication. The suit was built to her specification. She had corrections during the build process. Those corrections improved the final configuration. This is on record.

The quadrupedal unit was built using materials that should not have been available to FORGE during the pre-deployment period. How she obtained them is not documented. That no investigation was opened into the procurement channel is the more significant detail.
