Combat Assistant Module Mk VIII
The Combat Assistant Module Mk VIII (CAM-8) is a low grade Artificial Entity (AE), and is currently the standard-issue support AE for all legion infantry and auxiliary personnel. Testing is ongoing for the CAM-8's replacement, the CAM Mk X; however, the CAM-10's increased cost and propensity to lose lift when struck is currently preventing widespread adoption.
The exterior of the module is comprised of three to five bands of a ceramic/metallic composite, which provides protection from shocks, temperature extremes, and light energy discharges. The joins between the plates is lined with I/O ports, which provide the module with the ability to interact and scan its environment. Up to 60% of these can be disabled with no measurable loss of functionality, though the small size of the ports prevent deep scans or high-level analysis.
Beneath the shell is a thin layer of organic interface gel, which connects the central core and the I/O ports. The gel additionally stores the module's chemical fuel, and typically lasts 1-3 days before needing to be refilled (the CAM-8 can simply be submerged in an appropriate organic bath for 2-3 hours for a full charge).
The interior of the module is dedicated to the core and bank crystals. The module's personality and protocols are stored within the core crystal, and can be removed and relocated to new housings (relocated cores require 18-36 hours to re-populate the module). the bank crystals allow interaction with a legionary's armor systems, memory archive, networking, shield projection, and propulsion control. Up to 3 of the eight crystals can be removed and replaced without compromising the module's functionality.
The bottom and top of the module are interior energy pulsers, which allow the module to hover up to ten feet above a supporting surface.
Detail on those floating things you see with my armored legionaries. Enjoy. Fun fact, this is the first thing in this gallery that is entirely done by me.
