Institute Battle Synth By Imperator-Zor Watch

With the arrival of the Brotherhood of Steel in force, the Institute was placed under increased threat. To counter this they pursued programs to better meet the threat posed by power-armored brotherhood Knights. One such development was a fairly simple, involving modifications to the template of Generation-II Synths to serve as an improved Rank and File along with the special forces of the Coursers: the Battle Synths. The Battle Synth was on the whole a simplification on the Gen-II design. Features such as jaws, external ears and an anthropomorphic face were deleted in favor of a one piece reinforced skull structure that could accept armor plating. The previously flimys external skin covering had a series of armor plates in it based on pre-war combat armor (which could be supplemented with more conventional synth armor modules) as well as a set of rubber soles to their feet for better traction. Most of the other parts were interchangeable with the earlier Gen-II stock. The upgrades to synth designs were fairly easy to implement, but meant that A: 5 Battle Synths could be made in the time that it would previously have taken to make 4 earlier model Gen-IIs and B: Synth Durability was considerably improved in high intensity combat. While they were still at a disadvantage against power armored BoS forces one on one the exchange rate had been improved.
