Intent:The Personal Environment Containment System is intended to provide a sealed life support system for the pilots that operate the 357 series Intersystem class Interceptors, as those vessels are not equipped with their own life support system. Additionally while it is intended to be produced in conjunction with the 357 series, it can also be used by others with similar fighter designs or as a stand alone life support system on larger vessels.
Development Thread: None; will be produced should it be required
Manufacturer: Magrath Industries
Model: P.E.C.S. series Life support system
Affiliation:
- Magrath Industries
- Avidon System Security Forces
- Independent Security Forces
Modularity: Incapable of modification
Production: Mass-Produced
Material:
The suit is composed of three separate pieces. The main body glove worn beneath the primary suit is created with a fiberous mesh material which aids in the retention of body heat should the pilot be exposed to the cold vacuum of space. The primary suit itself is crafted with a Durasteel fibermesh alloy combined with flexible polyester fibers, with internal padding. Primary armored pieces which contain the more vital parts of the system are created with a Durasteel-Titanium alloy for increased protection of said systems.
Serving as the third piece of the suit, the helmet itself is made a single formed piece of durasteel. Internally are a series of padding that can be heat treated to form around the being whom is wearing the helmet, allowing for a myriad of near-human and humanoid species the capability to wear the helmet. The main visor is a plexisteel construct with a built in reactive tinting material that darkens when exposed to sunlight.
Description:
The P.E.C.S. series life support system is designed primarily for humanoid species, making it nearly useless for a large portion of alien life in the galaxy. Additionally it has been described as claustrophobic to wear, and while it is designed to protect against glancing blows, it is highly susceptible to piercing damage. Likewise the arm mounted monitoring system which allows the wearer to see how much oxygen is remaining in the canisters can just as easily be damaged.
However, many of the suit's strengths make up for the possible dangers that come with using it. The boots include a magnetizing system which allows them to easily adhere and lock onto nearby metallic surfaces, allowing for operations in space. The large primary piece of the suit, while containing oxygen canisters that can allow for operations or being stranded in space for up to six hours also house two minor maneuvering jets, with two more in the boots.
Additionally the helmet contains a short range transmitter and communications array, allowing the wearer to broadcast their location to nearby vessels and contact help if it is close by. Internal padding and the primary body glove also provide a reduction in over all heat loss, giving a higher chance of survival.
