Companion class mecha also utilize a pinpoint energy barrier powered by an onboard reactive AI which can track and deflect up to 25 attacks at a time using discs of translucent energy six feet in diameter.
Companion class mecha are considered the "average" battle unit of the hierarchy. Here, an Obsidian Dawn "Emcee" unit is seen with signal-absorbing paint, used to sow confusion amongst enemy units by jamming communications. They are often deployed in quartet or quintet squads, deployed to support the less technologically advanced Adherent class.
