Description: Alien Tactical Advantage eXplorer (ATAX) armor was created as a prototype to the Synthetic Alien when it was considered infeasible to infiltrate an Alien hive with an artificial life form. This modified HARDCore armor uses pheromone collars and a significantly different physical appearance in an attempt to fool drones and praetorians. Ideally, the ATAX armor gets close enough to the Alien Queen to deliver its payload and get out.

The most obvious difference with ATAX armor is its resemblance to an Alien. For purposes of fooling Aliens, the ATAX armor receives a +5D bonus to Con checks.

The armor offers an effective Strength of 5D+2. When traveling overland, it allows the wearer to hustle for up to 12 hours straight. ATAX Armor is covered with titanium plate. Standard armament for ATAX Armor is a M38A2 SADAR, built into the "Alien" head. It also has one appendage that functions as a heavy mace for STR+2D points of bludgeoning damage.

ATAX Armor functions in all forms of atmosphere, even deep space. It grants a +5D bonus to Strength to resist the harmful effects of radiation.

There is an internal power supply, which will operate the armor for up to 12 hours. The life support system is designed to protect the wearer for 24 hours, but in emergencies it can last up to 72 hours.
