Halcyion Champion

A champion is a Halcyion made by the Federation's gene-forges, with grafted muscle, reinforced bone and reflexes tuned beyond what a natural body can do. The armor is lighter than a knight's because the body does the work. The weapon is a vibro blade that cuts through plate. Champions are displayed at ceremonies and used at breaches.
