Servo-rig

Servo-rigs are Imperial mechanical exoskeletons that are most commonly seen in heavy industry, where weights not normally manageable by baseline Humans must be handled, but where duties cannot readily be entrusted to Abhumans or Servitors.[1]

Most servo-rigs are worn over the body and limbs, and are controlled by the wearer's physical movements, granting them extra strength to move heavy materials, operate large tools or machinery. Some servo-rigs come with extra limbs that greatly increase their wearer's dexterity and the range of tasks that can be performed, making what may otherwise be the work of many, the work of a few. However, these servo-rigs may need to be plugged directly into the wearer's nervous system so they can be controlled directly. An alternative to this is to make the extra limbed servo-rigs automated, but doing so requires the wearer keep up with the exoskeletons' pre-programmed movements.[1]
