T.A.H. MK II "Hatchet" Multipurpose Tactical Construction Hardsuit

Throughout history, members of Naval Mobile Construction Battalions, "Seabees" have been revered for their ability to quickly transform terrain, pave airstrips, build bridges and construct bomb-proof compounds- and fight to the death all the while. Seabees were a tremendous asset to the Marine Corps, as they were fierce warriors and provided a tactical approach to warfare construction. Many times Seabees and Marines were the first troops into combat zones and first responders against Separatist attacks on helo pads, airfields, roads, and bridges.

MK II "Hatchet" Multipurpose Tactical Construction Hardsuits were the workhorses of the Naval Mobile Construction Battalions during The War. Although they were designed for construction, MK II's had a light grade plate armor- which was just enough to withstand small arms fire. They also featured fully rotatable arms, capable of lifting and moving tremendous burdens. Though not designed for combat, MK II's (and the Seabees who operated them) were deployed within enemy territory and forced to defend themselves, often with many casualties.
