The 'Type 43' Magpie was developed by Thatcher Steel on behalf of Stefanus as an industrial worker Mech. Its universal mounting points allowed for rapid transition between the various complex servo arms needed during the development and roll out of the Stefanus Prion Chassis. This means its parts can be rapidly hot swapped in the field, even in a combat situation making it something of a holy grail for salvagers, though less so for its namesake.

The Magpie allows you to mount and dismount Systems on it in the field significantly faster. This uses the normal rules for mounting, but increases the speed and versatility. A Pilot may Mount a System on The Magpie as a Short Action (10 minutes). A Mech, including The Magpie itself, may Mount a System on The Magpie as a Turn Action.
Stefanus
Boasts a complex array of arm attachments that made a lot more sense to the Stefanus techs who used these as modular worker Mechs.
