The REC-MA/01 Combat Armour was designed to be a simplistic, yet capable protective measure for Planetary Defence Forces, or even Bounty Hunters across the known universe, and beyond. Utilizing various, and midweight materials, the REC-MA/01 was capable of safeguarding those that wore this armour from a multitude of threats commonly levelled against them. This meant that they could become more confident in the completion of their duties, knowing that their armour was dependable, and required minimal maintenance in order to remain in optimal condition. To reinforce this aforementioned point, the REC-MA/01 was outfitted with a measure of basic equipment that could be utilized by their wearers to enhance their potential - wherever their fight may be. This included, but wasn’t entirely limited too, the reinforced bracers and boots - that’d be capable of turning aside a vibroblade, or the integrated Holoterminal mounted to their forearm. In addition, the armour was outfitted with a host of weapons that would futher supplement the wearer’s combat prowess and adaptability - even serving as a wonderful foundation for up-and-coming Bounty Hunter’s to make their name. Thus, with everything lumped together and presented in a singular fashion, the REC-MA/01 would likely find itself populating the stars as planetary governments from across the galaxy desired to protect those who served their peoples, or themselves.
