The ATH-14-SA Standing Tortoise Mark-II was a space-use variant of the ATH-14-ST Standing Tortoise. The backpack was equipped with new rocket boosters and maneuvering thrusters, and the main body used new muscle cylinders to function in zero gravity. The Mark-II’s armaments were identical to the original Standing Tortoise. The Mark-II served as the main unit for the Secret Society’s space operations.
