The Huscarl Project

The Huscarl exoskeletal unit essentially a large powered armour unit although rather than simply "wearing" it the pilot is strapped into a "chair" in the torso. It incorporates a gret deal of firepower for such a small vehicle. In a unprecedented move Saxon decided to hold the tests in public, pitting the suit against meta-human threats in an effort to show the suits potential for peace keeping as well as warfare.

Security teams

The use of the Huscarl suit in public has caused a new problem for the company. Unwelcome attention from unhappy victims of Huscarls activities and some more aggressive attempts by competitors to obtain information on the suit have caused Saxon to hire a team of highly trained security guards, mostly recruited from British and US militarys these teams are headed up by Frankie Peretti, former member of the MCPD whom is also known as the crime fighter Ordnance. This controversial move was almost immediately proven wise during the Blood Moon episode when the security team was not only able to hold back the Zombies attempting to enter Saxons temporary base in the Millennium city Docks but was able to eventually push back the undead and help secure a small area of Westside along side the beleaguered MCPD
