PRNID-829 Legionnaire

The PRNID-829 Legionnaire (aka Legionnaire) is an unmanned mobile drone used by Praetoriani.

Description & Characteristics
In order to bolster Praetoriani's forces, Hephaestus Technologies was commissioned to produce a new generation of autonomous weapons. Unlike previous mobile suits, the Legionnaire is not controlled by a pilot and instead relies on its on-board Digital Intelligence or remote through the C-TRAC IV System. Being able to rapidly coordinate with each other, the Legionnaires are effective when deployed in teams, however, their movement and attack patterns can be somewhat predictable due to the lack of a human pilot. Despite the initial fallacies of using an automated control system, the Legionnaires are capable of quickly learning from every defeat, making it difficult to beat them with the same tactics.

Due to the mass coordination required in controlling multiple Legionnaires they are not outfitted with remote weapons, instead the machines can be outfitted with a number of different weapons depending on the situation. The drones are also capable of sustained flight thanks to the MDP Thrusters built into the backpack and skirt armour, allowing them to be deployed in a variety of environments.
