The '''CEX-205 Groundhog''' was a [[Solaris VII]] produced [[exoskeleton]] designed for combat in arenas and on the battlefield in a support role.

It was unclear if the Groundhog continued in production after the Blake Invasion of Solaris VII of [[3068]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', pp. 25-26, "Blue Shot Weapons reduced to 8% production capacity after invasion and occupation during Operation Showtime".</ref> Later intelligence discovered that the Groundhog was discontinued in [[3071]] due to heavy damage to the [[Blue Shot Weapons]] factory.<ref>''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised'', p. 180</ref>

The Groundhog is equipped with a pair of Modular Adapter type "hands". The Modular Adapters have two slots to accept a wide range of tools including: [[Armored Gloves]], [[Basic Manipulator]]s, [[Cargo Lifter]]s, [[Industrial Drill]]s, [[Mine Clearance]], and [[Salvage Arm]].  The Cargo Lifter gives the Exoskeleton 1 ton lifting capacity.  It features a [[Searchlight]] and [[Mission Equipment Storage]] unit with a capacity of 145 kilograms.<ref name=TROVA/>
