 |"We're not going to lie. NU-class Militants are abominations as far as State sentient AI engineering standards go. They are humorless, disrespectful, have no compassion, and relatively stupid outside the breadth of whatever tactical computer they're slaved to. However, I am confident that in times of war they will be the best friends you'll ever have."   -- Automaker Jaras Eight One 81-2582-7391  The Art of Never Again, Chapter 811: The Call to Arms| |"We're not going to lie.

-==Armor and Exoskeleton==+===Armor and Exoskeleton===
 The exoskeleton is designed to be a first-line defense against the hazards of combat.  The exoskeleton uses primarily tungsten-alloy plating, chosen for its very high melting point and hardness. The armor plating is belted together and undercoated using buckypaper. The extreme tensile strength of this weave increases the armor's absorb kinetic energy exponentially, while at the same time it acts as a sort of makeshift Faraday cage to protect the internal systems from energy discharges. The exoskeleton is designed to be a first-line defense against the hazards of combat.  The exoskeleton uses primarily tungsten-alloy plating, chosen for its very high melting point and hardness.

-==Electroactive Polymer Structure==+===Electroactive Polymer Structure===
 When voltage is applied to these polymers they will change their shape in a predefined way, not dissimilar to the way human muscles will contract when they receive a signal from the nervous system. Carbon nanotubes are the staple of the polymers, allowing for the extreme tensile strength needed to lift thousands of pounds. Lining the structure of the muscles is a membrane of buckypaper treated with a coating to protect against atmospheric corrosion.   When voltage is applied to these polymers they will change their shape in a predefined way, not dissimilar to the way human muscles will contract when they receive a signal from the nervous system.

-==Endoskeleton==+===Endoskeleton===
 Various heavier and high density metals are used in the endoskeleton, commonly alloyed with tungsten or titanium to prevent corrosion. This makes for quite a relatively heavy frame, but gives it the structural integrity to withstand higher stress levels needed to effective utilize the strength of their electroactive polymer muscles. Various heavier and high density metals are used in the endoskeleton, commonly alloyed with tungsten or titanium to prevent corrosion.

 The explosive lenses are perfectly synchronized, compressing the fuel to half, or even one third its original size. The synchronized shock wave keeps the bulk of the fuel entrapped for long enough to trigger a nuclear explosion. In addition to a fireball and concussion wave, the radiation effects extend to several hundred meters. The explosive lenses are perfectly synchronized, compressing the fuel to half, or even one third its original size.

-==Microinertia Drive==+===Microinertia Drive===
 The Militant possesses a microinertia drive, which which is the little sister of the Intertialess Drive. The device generates an antigravity field that reduces the gravity and the effective mass of the unit, therefore giving it the capacity to reduce its weight as it sees fit. This allows its relatively pathetic booster packs to hurl the Militant great distances. The Militant possesses a microinertia drive, which which is the little sister of the Intertialess Drive.

-==Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters==+===Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters===
 The MPD thruster works by feeding ionized lithium into an accelerator pocket, where electromagnetic fields are generated using the main reactor. The lithium plasma and the fields  react with one another to produce Lorentz force, and thereby propel the plasma. MPD thrusters produce extremely high specific impulses (which can be further increased in strength by drawing more power into system). This allows Militant to jump great distances when used in conjunction with the Microinertia Drive, and travel vast distances using small fuel reserves. The MPD thruster works by feeding ionized lithium into an accelerator pocket, where electromagnetic fields are generated using the main reactor.
