The M2 'Chaos Edge' Battle Suit is an experimental prototype second-generation Battle Suit, developed by the Jerna National Armaments Laboratory, to serve as a personal unit for the Prime Minister of the Workers' Assembly, presently Siegfried Schwarzwind. Its only weapons are two vibro-blades, an experimental weapon where the blade is made to vibrate at an extremely high frequency, giving it an exceptional ability to cut through solid objects, even thick steel.
It is also equipped with the experimental repulsor drive system developed by JNA Labs, allowing it to hover several feet off the ground, and move without regard to the friction normally observed by vehicles that make contact with the ground.
In battle, the M2 is generally accompanied by the Presidential Guard's squad of 15 M1 Battle Suits, and is attached to the 1st Assault Battalion of the People's Armed Forces.
The existence of the M2 is a heavily guarded secret, with less than a hundred people in the entire Republic knowing of its existence. All of these people are either employed at JNA Labs' Experimental Weapons Research Lab, are employed by the Presidential Guard or are Arrnea or Siegfried Schwarzwind.
