[Society Modularity Advancements]
One of the longest running Society projects had been about improving and expanding the scope of omni-technology. After a leap in Endo-Steel production quality and design, they were able to integrate connectors and other features directly into the structure. This allowed for Endo-Steel weight savings and omni-technology to be applied to a wider range of unit types.
Improved BA Chassis
In recent years the Society made improvements to the old Clan Battle Armor chassis. It was decided to sacrifice any possible weight savings to integrate mounts directly into the chassis and to upgrade the standard Harjel system to a scaled down Harjel II repair system.
With exception to turrets, BA with an improved chassis do not require additional mounts for weapons, equipment, manipulators or auxiliary motive systems (Jump Jets, UMUs, VTOL). If the BA suffers armor damage, it will recover 2 points of armor protection during the following End Phase. The number of armor points restored can never exceed the undamaged armor value of the suit.
ProtoMech Endo-Steel (PES)
The Society's advancements with Endo-Steel and modular connectors have allowed for ProtoMechs to be constructed with OmniTechnology, while reducing the structure weight by half.
When constructed as an Omni-Proto, the unit can modular mount omni-pods and auxiliary motive systems, such as Jump Jets. This does came at the expense of lower space limits in the torso (-1).

Vehicular Endo-Steel (VES)
The development of Vehicular Endo-Steel was highly welcomed by Society's vehicle forces. It provides Endo-Steel weight saving, at the cost of one equipment slot, both for Combat Vehicles and Super-Heavy Combat Vehicles.
