Type-4 Eidolon Assault Exoskeleton

The is a high power exoskeleton used by the Sangheili Republic for combat. Possessed of a powerful defence, and incredible strength, Sangheili consider it a great honour to be allowed to command one of these mighty machines.

Design
Based on UNSC's Wolf ATAAS, the design was crafted from fragmentary records, and pieces recovered from the battlefield. The original Wolf designs were kept under lock and key, but through analysis by the Justiciars, and in some places, subterfuge, they were able to create a design that roughly matched the Wolf in design, and capabilities.

Standing nearly twice the height of a Sangheili, the Eidolon is a fearsome sight. It is covered in tough nanolaminate plating, and has a biomimetic shell making it look like a predatory beast. This armour is further reinforced by a regenerating shield. The pilot rests within the chest cavity of the suit, with his arms resting in external control systems, and legs inside the upper thighs of the suit. It has copied the control system perfectly, replicating the user's movements into smooth and powerful motions with the remote controlled limbs. The suit uses high-powered motors, which are in turned powered by a plasma cell on the rear of the suit. It has a fully functional head, with clusters of optical, infra-red, and LIDAR sights, and has a precision sensor on each side of the hammerhead-like design, giving it great directional capabilities.

The suit integrates a thruster system into it, with plasma motors mounted across the body, and a single anti-gravity generator, allowing it to make quick bounds across the battlefield, like a Sangheili clad in Ranger armour.
