Legs, previously known as Thursby U-2278, is a Solaris merchant who sells and assembles MOA components to build MOA companions, and can help assemble Hound companions (though components must be acquired elsewhere). He uses Solaris United standing as a currency. He can be found on the left side of Fortuna in an open-fronted shop.
Appearance
He appears as an orange-colored Solaris. Before Vox Solaris, he has normal human limbs. After the quest is completed, seeing that he was "Augmented", he ends up with no arms and the legs of a Shockwave MOA with a deeper red tint.
Lore & History
Legs was an enterprising young Solaris named Thursby, who appeared identical to his current self with normal arms and legs. After his parents died in the Deck 12 crackdown that brought down the original Solaris United, he had inherited his family's debt and was attempting to pay it off by selling odds and ends at his shop, but only possesses worthless scrap. To make ends meet, he asks the Tenno to steal Corpus caches. Emboldened by the Tenno's success, he makes a threat to Nef Anyo on an unsecured transmission that the Corpus have tapped into, but Eudico manages to hack into Corpus feeds to scrub the footage. In retaliation for his thievery, Nef Anyo sends a repo-squad to repossess Thursby's arms and legs. Eudico remarks she is not sure the medics will be able to save him with "so much missing."
Following the completion of Vox Solaris, Thursby is revealed to have survived, giving him augmented MOA legs and thus earning his new name: "Legs."
Fragments from The Business heavily imply that he deliberately leaked Thursby's stunt to the Corpus, to tip Eudico over to reform Solaris United, as soul-crushing as the decision was. Legs' fragments state that The Business now looks after him with extra care, suggesting he feels guilty over the incident.

Notes
- As Thursby, he does not offer MOA companions. Players must finish the Vox Solaris Quest to unlock his MOA shop.
Trivia
- Originally, the MOA vendor was a child named Boon as shown in the Tennocon 2018 preview of Fortuna. In the release version, Boon would become one of the Ventkids instead as the NPC in charge of the K-Drive races.
- Smokefinger seems to take in interest in Legs, wanting to apprentice him. However, Legs is uninterested in mineralogy, commenting that he thinks it is a waste of his time.
- Before Update 24.2 (2018-12-18), Legs was also in the Vox Solaris Syndicate's backroom, standing near The Business, like he was a part of the Heist. However, he is now removed.
- Legs' memory fragments suggest that he was planning his own subterfuge against Nef Anyo by replacing Nef's MOAs that were obedient to Legs.
