STRENGTHS

• I see you: Because it is painted bright red and yellow, it is quite easy to identify anyone wearing the armor, even in smoky or darkened environments

WEAKNESSES

• Firefighter: Fire Suppression Trooper Armor is not really designed for active combat, though it can be used in active warzones or during combat operations

• Specialized: Fire Suppression Trooper Armor is specialized for dealing with fires and burn victims, making it ill suited for performing other tasks or treating those with non burn related injuries
• I see you: Because Fire Suppression Trooper Armor is so brightly colored, it is nearly impossible to hide or remain stealthy while wearing the armor

DESCRIPTION

The improvised nature of many Mahporeenian vehicles and the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant's liberal use of Rhydonium and other flammable materials has often lead to elevated levels of fire risks during military operations. In fact, it is something of a small miracle that there aren't more fires popping up across Imperial Remnant held space. Yet, when these fires do break out, the Imperial Remnant stands ready to deal with them, relying on Fire Suppression Troopers to get the job done.

While designed to be used with Firehoses or CyroBan Projectors, Fire Suppression Trooper Armor does come equipped with a number of firefighting devices built into the armor itself, such as an arm mounted Fire Extinguisher, Firefoam Projectors and Fire Suppressant Capsules. The armor is also well suited for treating burn victims, possessing Burn Kit Storage, and also comes equipped with a Door Cutter and advanced life support systems to help aid in search and rescue efforts.

Naturally, Fire Suppression Trooper Armor is highly specialized for dealing with fires and burn victims, and does poorly when used in direct combat, though it is capable of protecting its users from a number of battlefield threats to a limited extent. Nonetheless, the equipment used on Fire Suppression Trooper Armor and its bright color scheme regulates use of the armor to non-combat duties, though it fulfills these specific duties rather well when used properly.
