Endoskeletal chassis

The Endoskeletal Chassis is a component of the Moveable Frame technology family appearing as a remarkably organic looking humanoid skeleton, this Internal Skeleton (IS) carries a similar role to its organic counterpart.

The Internal Skeleton is static and it's bones are unable to stretch and warp. However, joints are placed carefully as so no joint can be locked into place involuntarily and no joints can be dislocated which also gives the frame a vastly higher range and ease of motion.

Joints are also placed in unique locations as so limbs can “open” to accommodate fitted equipment and lock to fit it or “close” when no equipment is fitted reducing the overall profile of the unit. Key equipment mounted to this Internal Skeleton often includes generators, engines, armaments, muscle/motors and so forth.

Endoskeletal Chassis is designed to be modular and does not necessarily need to be humanoid or covered with the Structural Meshing System to make an effective armored unit.

Theoretical applications could include large mecha, provided the chassis is scaled up and parts accordingly.
