Warframes
Anthropomorphic biomechanical combat units controlled by the Tenno through Transference.
A Warframe is an anthropomorphic biomechanical combat unit with supernatural agility and special abilities. The player starts the game as a silent protagonist in one of these units, with primary, secondary and melee weapons and a space ship called an Orbiter. Later in the game it is revealed that the Warframes are controlled by the Operator, a Tenno child, through a telekinetic process called Transference.
Lore & Background
The power of the Void gave the Tenno children the ability to control Warframes. Ballas, one of the last living Orokin, is assumed to be responsible for creating them, and the purely mechanical Necramech is their technological precursor. Players can mount an Archwing combat platform on a Warframe for aerial or space combat.
