The Chris Pramas story "Into the Maelstrom" (in the Into the Maelstrom anthology) has an loyalist Astral Claws marine who tracks down Huron Blackheart, but is taken out before he can assassinate Huron. He awakes inside a dreadnought sarcophagus, which has not been installed in a dreadnought.

Hi! I was wondering if it is possible to shift the marine inside of a dreadnought into another dreadnought. Say the vehicle itself is too damaged to be repaired, but the parts that keep the marine going are fine. Could he be taken out and placed into a New chassis?

Also if this is possible would "upgrading" to a more powerful dreadnought body be a thing? Like say a venerable dreadnought having the guy inside be put into a contemptor.

Depends. Same pattern yes. Iron clad etc.

Contempter to box or other way round.... Less so

I'd go with this. The sarcophagi for all of the Castaferrum Pattern (Box) Dreadnoughts are all pretty much the same shape and size and thus we can assume them to be quite compatible should one dreadnought body be destroyed or the warrior need to be moved for whatever reason.

However we haven't seen the sarcophagi for the Contemptor, Leviathan or Deredeo Pattern Dreadnoughts and because they are all approximately similar shapes (more with the Contemptor and Deredeo than the Leviathan) and because they are each described as being much more advanced than Castaferrum Patterns I think they share the same technologies thus making them compatible. At least in my personal headcannon.
