Black Smith

Black Smith or Blacksmith is the common name given to an Union Marine that has the MOS titled Field Repair Technician for Battle Robots and Battle Suits.

While the person with this job description is technically not supposed to work within active combat zones, over half of their two year training program after boot camp is dedicated to being able to function under combat conditions.

To aid in that aspect, their Battle Suit can link to one other battle suit or to a battle robot to coordinate the shields, giving protective shielding over the Blacksmith and his "pacient". Any operational weapons the pacient might have that can be targeted towards the enemy and that will not interfer with the Blacksmith doing his job can be used.

The work done by a Blacksmith involves at least some "construction and repair" nanobots, added to the number already functioning within the suit. In a combat zone, there are only a few modules that can be replaced (including some of the shield layers.)  Using a Blacksmith Shop a blacksmith can repair almost any damaged Battle Suit or Battle Robot, the only potential problem being the number of weapons in the Black Smith Shop.
