The Atlas-Class Ferrojack was exclusively manufactured on a former forge world in the Golgotha Sub-Sector that is now controlled by the Ork Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. The Golgotha Sub-Sector is located directly east of hive world Armageddon on the other side of the Segmentum Solar -- Segmentum Ultima border. This sub-sector  was conquered by Ghazghkull Thraka's WAAAGH! between the Second War for Armageddon ((943.M41)) and the Third War for Armageddon ((998.M41)). Golgotha was both Ghazghkull Thraka's staging point and the fall back point during the Third War for Armageddon.

The Atlas-Class Ferrojack is a single-pilot, all-terrain, lightweight, bi-pedal mining walker that is primarily used on the mining worlds in the Segmentum Solar. The standard model is equipped with a heavy rock saw, a heavy rock cutter and a Dvarlock Pattern Mining Laser. The ferrojack is constructed out of folded layers of chemically-treated permasteel and is known to be resistant to acids, fire and radiation. It houses duraglass screens that can seal the operator's cab airtight which allows the ferrojack to excavate and operate in hazardous environments and extreme conditions.  

The schematics for the Atlas-Class Ferrojack are not available in the Standard Template Construction ((STC)) system, it is unknown at this time if they still exist. The design and engineering of this vehicle inspired the STC for the following equipment; Goliath truck [[similarities can be seen when comparing the cab of both vehicles and they share the same exhaust system and rotational mounting dock for the Dvarlock Pattern Mining Laser]], the hand-held heavy rock saw, and hand-held heavy rock cutter. All of which are utilized by miners on Necromunda and mining planets throughout the Segmentum Solar.

Not a lot of updates, but that doesn't mean I haven't kept busy. I am definitely a recovering bits addict, during my previous stint ...
