 (2) HFC-1a Heavy Fusion Cutter: The Heavy Fusion Cutter is a combat capable version of the classic repair tool, designed for repairs, hull cutting and can be used as a lethal melee weapon. While being used for repairs, the cutter only extends 2 feet from the unit. Combat mode quadruples this length and increases the energy output, heavily increasing power drain. This tool is designed to work on even shielded starships in the field, and as such, completely ignores shields at all known SAoN frequencies, and can change it's harmonics to suit other targets, if it gathers enough battle data. (2) HFC-1a Heavy Fusion Cutter: The Heavy Fusion Cutter is a combat capable version of the classic repair tool, designed for repairs, hull cutting and can be used as a lethal melee weapon.

-**(2) UDP-1a Utility Drone Pod: This bulky pod integrated into the left shoulder is able to launch a complement of 36 7'' long repair drones, which are able to handle delicate procedures that the Wolverine's bulky tools can't handle. The drones have a basic A.I. that can be given orders and behaviors to follow. Each unit is able to move at roughly .05c sublight or 57kph in atmosphere and is equipped with smaller version of the fusion cutter, a dispenser pods that can be refilled by the Wolverine's own dispensers, and a stripped down sensors suite.+(2) UDP-1a Utility Drone Pod: This bulky pod integrated into the left shoulder is able to launch a complement of 36 7'' long repair drones, which are able to handle delicate procedures that the Wolverine's bulky tools can't handle.

-**(4) HVT-1a Harvest Web Tractor Field Emitter: The Harvest Web system generates a web of interlocking tractor beams, creating a self contained and shielded gravity well, with variable and self-regulating size. The Emitter is able to generate a near infinite number of individual web pockets, but the total volume that it can contain is constrained to about about 125 cubic meters, regardless of mass. Weight itself is still a restriction, as it will take more energy for the Wolverine to achieve full speed. Ideally, one should use several units to tow large structures.+(4) HVT-1a Harvest Web Tractor Field Emitter: The Harvest Web system generates a web of interlocking tractor beams, creating a self contained and shielded gravity well, with variable and self-regulating size.

-**Plasma Ion Vent** +Plasma Ion Vent 
 By combining the technology of the Firefly's Ion arrays and using raw plasma from the reactor as the propellant, the Wolverine is able to achieve decent thrust. The system first draws hydrogen plasma, a direct byproduct of fusion reactions, and accelerates it with magnetic and radio waves. It lacks the raw thrust of the full arrays, but is able to boost for much longer, often hours at a time, to achieve the torque required to tow heavy heavy materials. The Wolverine has 8 of these large rectangular vents mounted at important points on the body, with 4 on the back, 2 on the front, and 1 on each shoulder. By combining the technology of the Firefly's Ion arrays and using raw plasma from the reactor as the propellant, the Wolverine is able to achieve decent thrust.

-**Suspensors**+Suspensors
 A passive system used while the craft is in gravity, the suspensors allow it to move around, by creating an antigravity field below itself. This system is remarkably effective, allowing it to reach speeds of 80 kph in atmosphere. A passive system used while the craft is in gravity, the suspensors allow it to move around, by creating an antigravity field below itself.

 For standardization sake NAM has lumped the two systems of energy shield and repulsion together. To further improve the protection on the Wolverine (and vastly lower potential repair costs) the CPS here has a higher power to weight ratio than on the Firefly. The Wolverine can take a heavy pounding before needing a recharge. Unlike the AIR, this system lacks the overcharge function. Do not even think of pushing off because the CPS lacks the directional field projectors mounted on the AIR. For standardization sake NAM has lumped the two systems of energy shield and repulsion together.

The gunner's seat is placed slightly higher than the pilots and his seat is able to swivel, to either follow with the pilot or man the MDA turrets. The Wolverine features a moderately spacious cockpit, fitted with 2 seats, one for the pilot and a second one for the gunner, and a veritable plethora of systems to manage.  All the required telemetry is displayed on 2 HUD screens, one at the front and another at the back.

 A hybridized system that allows the pilot to either directly interface with the ship, or rely on the large display screens in the back and front of the systems. It is suggested that the pilot wears the full NAM flight suit, as to fully benefit from the neural interface. The two large high resolution screen's HUD feature all relevant battle data, and can be customized to suit the user. Uplinks for various interface types are found at the base of the seat and are pointed to by a bright orange arrow. A hybridized system that allows the pilot to either directly interface with the ship, or rely on the large display screens in the back and front of the systems.

The Wolverine's is also upgraded with some technical subroutines and can accept battle data from any allied source, allowing it to move from location to location for field repairs. Thanks to the detailed trajectories data from the Monoeye sensor system, the Savtech can perform high accuracy shots by manipulating the turret hardpoints on the back and perform flawless welds and patches with the dispenser and cutter arms. All the pilot has to do is draw the weld across the location or point the gun at the enemy and the Savtech will fine tune the aim.  A specialized computer system for sorting battle data received from the Monoeyes of all squad machines.

 Given the requirements for precision for both the gunner and pilot, both the front and back have two monoeyes, mounted a few feet apart, to allow for proper depth perception and nearly 360 degree view. The addition of lower grade sensors on each side complete this effect.  On passive mode these sensors emit low key radar, ladar and receive data on a wide spectrum. Given the requirements for precision for both the gunner and pilot, both the front and back have two monoeyes, mounted a few feet apart, to allow for proper depth perception and nearly 360 degree view.

 Similar to the system utilized by shuttles and some fighters, the Wolverine's life support system allows it to refresh and clean the air in the cockpit for over two days, and is able to support both pilots for this time. There is purified (and occasionally recycled) water packs, compressed food supplements and a waste disposal system that feeds into a water purifier. Solid waste is stabilized and jettisoned. Similar to the system utilized by shuttles and some fighters, the Wolverine's life support system allows it to refresh and clean the air in the cockpit for over two days, and is able to support both pilots for this time.
