Parts

In keeping with their motto, many of Balam's products are geared towards material superiority. They exclusively sell a variety of kinetic and explosive-based weapons, with their FCS units being optimized towards close and mid-range combat to compliment their arsenal.

Their AC parts eschew speed and advanced support systems, in favor of heavier armor, lower EN footprint, and better stability and control, and higher load-bearing capabilities.
