Each suit of Power Armour carried four miniature quantum Computational Cores. These cores were usually fitted into smart ammunition, but they were more than adequate for this equipment.

Even such tiny Quantum Cores offered better computing power than the miniature Cogitators installed in Imperial Power Armour, while taking up less space.

This meant these suits of Power Armour offered a more comprehensive range of functions.

Besides the usual detection and identification functions of an Imperial Auspex, the helmets incorporated multiple detection modes and several highly detailed tactical analysis systems. By switching detection modes, the armour could reallocate its own computing power to improve the performance of specific functional modules.

The built-in cyclic Quantum Energy Core allowed the armour to operate without the stupid power backpacks Imperial equipment required. It also supported multiple charging methods. In the worst case, even heating it over a fire would do.

A double-layer vacuum insulation structure protected the wearer from harm even if they were engulfed in flames.

While the Astartes put on their Power Armour, Iax monitored the equipment data.

The adaptive systems were adjusting to each individual's physical parameters. The armour's mechanical structures made minute adjustments to accommodate differences between the Astartes' bodies, while the neural implant studs linked to their black carapace repeatedly released tiny Bio-Pulses to verify their neural response speeds.

After the warriors had danced uncontrollably in place for a while, the adaptive systems finished calibrating themselves to their wearers.

Imperial Power Armour clung to an Astartes like a second skin.

The products Iax had made went even further.

Depending on the wearer's neural response speed, the Power Armour would actively enhance the Astartes' own reactions.

Signals picked up by the sensors and monitoring devices were first relayed through the nerves to the Astartes' body, after which the armour directly
