- Exoskeleton uses Verpine miniaturization technology, enabling its seemingly lightweight system to mimic major muscle groups and even micro-neuromuscular movements to allow a great deal of agility and dexterity and a more natural, fluid movement than larger, bulkier systems.
- Exoskeleton features a ridiculously low amount of power for the bio-mechanical system to operate.
- Exoskeleton is capable of increasing users’ natural speed, strength, and reflexes by a factor of two – making its discernable capability based not on objective quantifiers, but rather on the users’ physical capacities – and, as a byproduct of this, allows enhanced physical endurance and muscle stamina.
- Like its predecessor, this unit provides recycled water and low-grade nutrient paste, made from reclaimed organic waste; however supplies will endure only a few days without the user finding another source of dietary intake and hydration; does not taste very good; and, requires the suit to remain in good working order to maintain.
- Unit protects the wearer against extreme temperatures (-40 to 100 Galactic Standard Degrees), maintaining a healthy and comfortable body temperature regardless of most external conditions.
- Unit protects against radiation (incl. EMP/Ion), corrosive substances, biological hazards, and hostile environments.
- Flame-resistant and waterproof, this suit provides pressure control allowing it to serve as an EVA suit or diving suit when necessary.
- Friction Grip on palms, fingers, soles of feet ensures positive grip and traction even on otherwise slippery or hazardous surfaces and firm, yet sensitive tactile ability and grip on weapons, tools, etc.
- Cellular padding and shock-absorbent gel layer ensure comfortable long-term wear and enable walking and running for greater periods of time than standard clothing, as well as protection against kinetic damage.
- Stealth-enhancing materials absorb sound and light, making surreptitious movements easier and helping to block sensors against detection.
- Suit is powered using a combination of heat-and-light-absorbing cells and highly efficient (98.65%) capacitor absorption, thereby taking ambient heat and light as well as kinetic energy from the wearer’s natural movements to harvest the otherwise small amount of power required to operate.
- Can reprocess biological waste (including perspiration, feces, urine, dead skin cells) into potable water and low-grade nutrient paste, able to sustain a humanoid for several days without outside food or water.
- Maintains wearer’s body at comfortable temperature and pressure, and shields against radiation, hostile environments, and corrosive substances.
- Offers excellent protection against kinetic damage, i.e. punctures, tears, or melee weapons, as well as against concussive shock.
- Offers enhancement of user’s innate physical capacities by a factor of two (i.e. twice their normal speed, stamina, strength, and reflexes).
- Enhances wearer’s stealth, serving to absorb and dampen both sounds emitted by them and light around them, and sensor-frustrating materials make detection incredibly difficult.
- Amid especially dark and/or cold environments, the suit loses much of the ambient energy needed to function at full capacity, reducing the exoskeleton’s capabilities proportionately as stored power is used.
- Offering no protection whatsoever against Force-abilities, the suit does not provide much use against Force-user opponents in combat.
- Although absorbing cells turn light and heat energy to power, the concentrated bolt of a blaster-type weapon overpowers this feature and the suit provides no protection against lasers, blasters, etc.
- This suit does not increase the wearer’s physical capabilities by any objective factor, but rather only magnifies their innate physical abilities, meaning if worn by a weaker or sickly individual, the performance levels can be decreased significantly.
- Despite sound-dampening abilities, the suit cannot protect against directed sonic attacks.
- The suit offers no real protection against direct attacks by lightsaber-type weapons.
- Since the suit’s reclamation system depends on waste collected from the wearer, if the wearer does not find suitable external food and hydration, the amount and nutritional quality of reclaimed waste diminishes exponentially over time.
- Suit does not offer breathable air supply, and unless worn with a connected helmet also allows notable heat and moisture loss and exposure to external threats.
- Sensor-blocking materials can be overcome by especially powerful and acute scans, such as those made using large military-grade sensors such as those found on starships or else very large vehicles using dedicated sensors.
- Whereas most martial arts systems and fighting methods taught within traditions such as the Jedi, Sith, and others train fighters to breathe in the nose and out from the mouth, operation of this suit requires doing the opposite to maximize reclamation efficiency via the breathing tube worn in the nostrils. This can take time and practice, meaning that new users may not see maximum effectiveness without time and practice to condition themselves accordingly.
Using an integrated exoskeleton to enhance the previous Vagabond Survival Suit, this design is an excellent choice for scouts, explorers, and special forces operators, enabling them to work in virtually environment and biome and giving them a survivability system, stealth, and physical augmentation package all in one. Custom-fitted for Visanj, it provides a variety of features:
The exoskeleton increases her strength, stamina, and reflexes using a miniaturized myomer augmentation technology which mimics major muscle groups as well as micro-neuromuscular movements in a natural, fluid, and nimble way, magnifying the user’s physical capacity a factor of two. Using a specially-designed power system, the suit doesn’t require a separate power source and can function (virtually) indefinitely.
Using an improved variation of the previous design, the suit is also a multi-environmental survival suit, which can enhance the wearer’s survivability, durability, and even stealth capabilities. Be it in the blistering twin suns of Tatooine, the frozen wastes of Hoth, deep below the oceans of Mon Cala, or the humid, sweltering jungles of Dagobah, and even into the void of space itself, this suit is an excellent survival system. Protecting the wearer from pressure and a wide-range of radiation, elemental and biological threats, and a massive amount of kinetic damage, the suit is almost a wearable tank that is practically immune to nature itself.
For all of this, it still has its limitations however. Its various survival technologies are not meant to last indefinitely, and without external food and drink, the wearer risks an exponential loss of its reclamation capabilities. Without the presence of ambient light and heat, the strength-enhancement begins to experience degraded performance, losing its effect as its stored power becomes exhausted. It cannot protect against energy weapons such as lightsabers or blasters, nor against sonic weapons. It requires some getting used to, and does little to guard against Force-using opponents.
And yet, these limits notwithstanding, it is far and away one of the finest survival suits on the market today, weighing in lighter than most body gloves, and intensely more durable, versatile, and beneficial than most commercially-available EVA suits.
