This caused the system's downfall, as it required a physical connection to a fusion generator at all times when operated.

Research and development for the Mark I was carried out at Section Three's headquarters inside [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]], though the final assembly of components occurred at the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]]. At least forty Mark I suits were produced, but the model was ultimately scrapped, and they never saw use in battle.{{Ref/Reuse|ENCY}} | Research and development for the Mark I was carried out at Section Three's headquarters inside [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]], though the final assembly of components occurred at the [[Damascus Materials Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]].
