Mechs are bulky exoskeletons, offering no actual life support but amplifying the wearer’s strength considerably. Mechs range from a simple arrangement strapped over the user’s shoulders, with mechanical, articulated arms, to an egg-shaped open cage with the wearer strapped into its center, equipped with four articulated limbs. These provide stability and utility, as each limb ends in a foot that can be rotated back to deploy a variety of cutting and welding tools. Mechs also have tether points where crew-mates can connect themselves to be carried to and from a labor site, and where loads of parts, salvage, or ore can be stowed.[1]
The Martian Marine Corps (Books only) uses a type of Combat mech alongside Force Recon Marines in Goliath armor. This armor looks like a larger suit of power armor without a head and a large canon.
