Ejection System

An Ejection System is a Tau Battlesuit defensive wargear system that provides the Battlesuit pilot a chance of escaping catastrophic damage to his Battlesuit. Once ejected, the Battlesuit pilot is armed with nothing more than a Pulse Pistol and has to make his own escape from the battlefield. Often fitted as a safety compromise to those Tau Commanders who often lead from the front, Ejection Systems are a special-issue system only issued to lone XV8 Crisis Battlesuit pilots (Monat) of the rank Shas’vre or higher. The current rarity of this system among deployed Fire Caste units means that its distribution is usually limited to only one per Hunter Cadre. It is of note that all XV46 Vanguard Void Battlesuits are also fitted with a variant of an Ejection System as standard, one that deploys an escape pod programmed to return the pilot back to the boarding craft upon the Battlesuit’s destruction and
