The BW-XM1, or “Possessor”, is Section 6's first attempt at creating a mech. Following the success of the U-1, S6 wanted a mechanized bipedal weapons platform that could achieve high combat standards. With the sacrifice of increased size, the Possessor has stronger shields and armor than the U-1 allowing for longer survival time in heavier combat scenarios.

The BW-XM1 is Section 6's answer to a bipedal mechanized armored unit meant for heavier combat situations, with the ability to carry more firepower, in addition to stronger shields and armor. The mech has multiple hard points and removable plates to allow the attachment of exterior equipment, in addition to using handheld weapon systems. The unit also has no physical controls, instead utilizing a specialized neural interface that users must have. When linked in, the user has an assistant AI co-pilot that gives tactical and logistics support, as well as reduced reaction time and increased precision. In addition to this, the Possessor features a AI co-pilot which links with the mind of the pilot to give tactical and logistics support while serving as a companion to the pilot.

Below are the key features:

• Neural control interface
• AI co-pilot
• Ability to have the companion AI accompany the pilot in a drone.
• Is equipped with the ECS stealth system.

In mid YE39, designs for a mech were drafted. Through YE39 and Section 6's experiences completing various projects, Section 6 used what they learned and what worked from U-1 to refine these designs. The S6-XM1 was finalized late YE39, and is now are ready for testing in YE40.

The Possessor is humanoid in appearance with blocky style limbs, with hands that have pointed claw like digits. The top of the lower body is protected by shield shaped armored plates. The torso sits atop a inwardly curved waist and has very convex geometrical chest that ends at a point. Pointed pauldrons cover the shoulders while the main thruster protrudes somewhat from the back which is accompanied by a pair of mechanized wings that have thrusters running throughout them. Finally the head has an almost knight's helmet like appearance with a reversed 45 degree oriented horn atop the head.

The interior is a cramped enclosed space, with the walls in extreme proximity, allowing no free movement. This only allows enough space for the pilot and a drone docking station, which extend and retract from the mech's chest to allow boarding and disembarking.

However when the pilot has linked in they are presented with a sphere shaped space that an avatar of the AI is also represented in this space in their mind. It is all a mental manifestation when the pilot has established a neural link with the unit, with the walls of the sphere showing the outside world.

Below are the available weapons systems:

Below are the onboard computer systems:

• Computer System: Graphene Computer Core
• Life Support: Liquid Ally
• Power: BW-PC-1A Plasma Core x12
• Engines: Plasma Drive x4
• Stealth: ECS, or Electronic Camouflage System
• AI: EVE

The S6-XM1 has no cargo space save for a storage container attached under the pilot seat for the pilot's gear.

Below is the standard equipment

• First aid kit(located in storage container under pilot seat)
• AI drone
