The PHALANX M-3 Space Marine Power Armor represents state-of-the-art battlefield technology, providing the elite troopers of the Space Marine Corps with a power armor without rival. Unlike the lightweight DEFENDER and the mighty GOLEM, the PHALANX is a fully-transatmospheric platform, capable of deploying from a warship in space, fighting its way through space, entering an atmosphere, and subsequently exiting that atmosphere underneath its own power.
Compared to the M-1 and M-2 armors, the M-3 is considered 'special-issue' and only 5 percent of Confederation soldiers are properly trained and qualified to utilize the system. Because it requires a special breed of soldier to successfully wear the PHALANX, those who wield this awe-inspiring system are regarded among the elite soldiers of the Sol Confederation.

The PHALANX M-3 is a fully transatmospheric weapons platform. It is highly maneuverable in all theaters of battle, capable of changing direction and/or stopping its momentum near immediately. It can hover, scale walls, and effectively reduce its weight to negigible amounts effortlessly.
The EM-9L carbine is a suit-integrated weapon that feeds power and targeting information from the armor's power generator and combat computer. This weapon is a dual-mode weapon that utilizes both a particle disruptor and high-energy laser. The particle disruptor fires particle energy (340-11,700 kW) at the destructive frequency to shatter molecular bonds. Because of this, it is effective against light and medium armored targets. For smaller, softer targets, the EM-9L utilizes a pulse laser (150-1,560 kW). The weapon's firing mode can be chosen automatically by the targeting computer or manually by the user.
Considered optional armament by most Marines in the field, the Model 2740 particle disruptor rifle is a far more powerful version of the EM-9L (16,480 kW yield), with greater range, accuracy, and improved rates of fire. Considered a sniper weapon.
I-Y8 “Pathfinder” Tactical Sensor Drones (6): Mounted in a backpack recharge unit, the M-3 has 8 tactical sensor drones that allow it to expand its sensor presence to a much larger area. Each drone is equipped with a standard tactical sensor package consisting of thermal, ultraviolet, optical, acoustical, and pulse radar sensors.
