Production: Minor
Material: Agrinium, Plastoid, Glasteel, Duraplast (UA), Synthetic Polymers.
Classification: Short Range EVA, Anti-Ballistic, Anti-Energy (UA).
Weight: 9.1 kg / 20 lbs - 13.6 kg / 30 lbs (UA)
Quality: 5 - 6 (UA)
Specific Features: (x3)
Standard Suit
- Insulating Synthetic Body Glove, integrated with agrinium weave, provides outstanding displacement against hazardous chemical substances, solar radiation, and the vacuum of space. (12 Hour Rated.)
- Plastoid shell provides excellent protection against slug and fragmentation weapons. Similar to Stormtrooper armor.
- Powered Backpack offers 12 hours worth of a breathable bio-air mixture as well as powers many of the suit's components. Redundant circuitry is applied here to minimize Ion damage to primary circuitry.
- Magnetic Boots are incorporated into both shoes. These are used for magnetic EVA spacewalking to cling to a vessel's hull without a grappling tether. (There is no physical or synthetic strength added when worn.)
- An additional water-cooled mesh undergarment keeps the wearer cool during space-walk. Wireless control of this garment's temperature can be found on the left wrist or the utility belt.
UA Variant
- 7 duraplast plates may be mounted in the place of the lighter plastoid fixtures in anticipation of heavy combat. These plates are rated to protect against modern high-energy weapons at the expense of adding additional weight to the design. Plastoid is not well rated against energy weapons.
Helm Specific Features:
- Electronic HUD display
- HUD Optical Magnification Zoom (4x) (16x)
- Audio-Visual Transmitter and Recorder
- Light Amplification Interface
- Rebreather Attachment
- Exotic Filtration Attachment
- Wireless Attachment
- Backup Battery
Description:
Prototyped on Fondor and field tested at Firebase Ghost, Kuati Proper, the TR Mk II is a firm improvement over the standardized Stormtrooper design. The suit was created specifically for Extra-Vehicular Activity in deep space as well as deployment in hazardous terrestrial environments during stressful physical conditions. A UA Variant Kit is supplied with each suit to provide better combat durability ratings during wartime. A glasteel visor is opaqued to counter deep space flare mitigation during space walk.
The layout is composed as follows,
An agrinium weave mesh underlaying an insulated, synthetic black body-glove. Plastoid molding, with kinetic gel backing, is applied throughout the design to facilitate high kinetic protection and to ensure high-density slug weapon protection ratings. This plastoid is refined pure and not the cheaper composite material seen in standard Stormtrooper designs. This makes it much lighter than most metals used in modern armor designs without detracting from it's slug protection rating. However, specialized AP ammunition or the exotic hyper-velocity double-penetration rounds can penetrate this material during combat.
___
The UA Variant, (Up Armored), consists of seven duraplast additions which are rated to protect against modern energy weapons. Something the basic suit is not designed for outside of reflecting simple solar radiation. These additions can be made before combat to increase the user's chance of survival during prolonged conflicts. However, they are much heavier than their similar plastoid mounts. As a caution, weight is one of the strongest advantages of the standard armor configuration without these additions. The standard suit itself is less than half the weight of Mandalorian Full-plate.
