M.E.C.H. (Mana-Enhanced Combat Harness) is the apex of Imperial micro mana-technology - an advanced armour, the production of which is incredibly complex, resource-intensive and is kept in secret. These systems are reserved exclusively for the most capable individuals within Imperial Spec Ops and Imperial Guard.

M.E.C.H. can be worn over another armour, though the AC bonuses don't stack.

M.E.C.H. can only be worn if you have an 11th-level general feat "M.E.C.H. Training".

Bastion A heavy-chassis variant designed for maximum survivability at the cost of mobility and speed.
