Description
Manufactured by Ishikawajima-Harima Battle Armor Industries on Luthien, Kishi battle armor was a byproduct of the design and testing process that produced the Clan Nova Cat Thunderbird series of battle armor suits. As Kishi suits didn't require outsize body-types to operate it comfortably and was easily maintained it rapidly became the primary battle armor suit of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery.[1]
The Kishi was ideal for urban operations and the standard configuration of the suit gave it an edge when engaged in close-combat situations; it was also popular for the layer of compact memory foam that lined each suit, allowing the user to operate his or her suit for extended periods in comfort and thereby making the Kishi more suitable for longer operations. Protected by a third of a ton of reflective armor, Kishi suits were capable of making swarm and leg attacks as well as being mechanized. A mechanical jump booster could propel a Kishi suit up to 30 meters.[1]
Armament
A Kishi suit mounted two weapons, a single Heavy Machine Gun on the right arm with fifty rounds of ammunition and a Heavy Battle Claw (Vibro) on the left arm.[1]
Variants
As of 3145 no variants of the Kishi had been introduced to service.
