The Hoplon pattern Combat power suit was conceptually designed, field-tested, and inevitably produced by the technical architects within the Golden Company; with measured assistance from various other organizations outside their own. The myriad conglomerates that were contracted to assist in the production of the Hoplon were heavily regulated with direct oversight at every stage, as the Thyrsian architects were overly cautious in their attempts to keep a firm grasp on their advanced, and technical marvels. They couldn’t afford to have their progress find its way onto the open market, eventually forcing them to go back to the drawing board, as their enemies would utilize their technology against them. Thus, with blood, sweat, and tears, the conceptual foundations of their newest generation of powered armour found itself moving through the varied stages of production. With much of the technical work supplied by the Thyrsian Enclave, the first phases of production were relatively simple; as all that needed to be done was to translate the coding into basic and ensure that there were no errors lost in the process. When that phase was complete, the design crew moved towards producing the first power suit - as while there were hardships when creating the model in the digital realm - it wouldn’t compare to what they encountered when the schematics were ported over to a physical suit.

When the first suit was constructed; it was done so in layers, to allow for multiple tests during the assembly process. The armour’s first layer of defence was that of its composite liner, which comprised of several items that sought to supplement the user’s strength and innate combat prowess. Acting as the direct point of contact between the sentient being and the armour itself, was the bio-restorative underlay and the environmentally sealed body glove. These two items were meant to support the Operator by keeping them alive in the vacuum and hostile environments, as well as offering them a regulated system of minor healthcare whilst on the battlefield. The underlay was outfitted with a remotely controlled and automated adrenal injection system that can, on command, administer a dose of combat stims directly into the wearer’s bloodstream. In addition to the automated injectors, and the puncture sealant dispensers, the underlay was outfitted with an integrated AED or defibrillator that would activate if the wearer suffered a cardiac arrest. This system was remotely controlled through a direct connection to the helmet and would suffer from limited response times as the system would have to be manually activated- if the connection was non-existent.

Acting as the second layer of the composite power armour liner, the hydrostatic impact gel formed the foundations of the power suit’s protective capabilities. It was a newly minted item that was added to the Sun Guard’s arsenal and was closely guarded during the production process. The reasons behind this were because of the aqueous solution properties when dealing with the lethality of kinetic projectiles, and how rare the process of reversion was in comparison to the mass-produced drivel currently flooding the market. Unlike other impact gels, the hydrostatic variant was able to not only crystalize and disperse the force of the impact, but it was capable of reverting back to its original state after a small period of time. While this would momentarily hamper a soldier’s mobility, it was ultimately worthwhile, as they would still live to fight another day - rather than becoming a corpse. In addition to the gel, the second layer was outfitted with a combination of electro-reactive fabric, electro-motivated fibre bundles and servomotors; constituting the base of the power suit’s power-enhancing capabilities. It was through these components that allowed the suit to reflexively react to the Operator’s wishes - either enhancing their speed to run faster than the average human or boosting their strength to a factor of three.

Lastly, the third and final layer of the Hoplon power suit was comprised of several components - many of which rendered the entirety of the combat armour as a fully-sealed and enclosed environment. The first of these components were the combined mixture of the TYI Flex armour and armourweave, as they formed the outermost layer of the mechanized suit - before being cloaked and fitted with the reinforcing armour plates. This provided the suit with an additional layer of protection that safeguarded the vulnerable bodysuit beneath, as, on its own, it wouldn’t be capable of safely dispersing the lethality of projected plasma weapons. Thus, through the armourweave and the TYI Flex armour, the hydrostatic gel’s protective graces are enhanced further, allowing the warrior entombed within to move without the fear of inflicted wounds from a myriad of external sources. After the bodysuit, comes the armour plating itself; where every plate was magnetically affixed and chemically sealed to the fortified glove beneath. These armour plates were specially fitted to offer the perfect ratio between mobility and defence, without sacrificing either in the hopes of creating technological harmony.

As the first suit was complete, and there were little hiccups reported throughout the entirety of the process, the architects moved forward with bringing a handful more off the production line. If they were to test the armour to its fullest capabilities, then it would need to be pitted against another of it’s kind - rather than the sub-par outfits their Thyrsian overseers currently wore. It wasn’t long after that the Sun Guard were fitted with neural interfaces and adorned in their new armour, that they began pushing themselves - and the suit’s thereafter - to their nominal limits. Aside from a few minor incidents, where the neural nodes shorted out and caused irreparable brain damage to a handful of Mercenaries, the Hoplon was ready to be outfitted with a myriad of external attachments and sent off to battle. With the suit being aesthetically designed to match what passed for ancient Thyrsian armour, uplifted into the modern age, the hoplon was the spiritual manifestation of their warrior culture - reborn in black and gold.

MODIFICATION SUMMARY:
  • Updated Submission to comply with new Factory Template and Rules.
  • Fleshed out the Resistances section to balance the armour.
  • Fixed any links broken by the Migration, and added the Hyperlinks for the Materials list.
  • Updated Standard and Special Features to comply with Thyrsian armour submissions. #ConsistencyIsKey.
  • Rewrote the Strengths and Weaknesses section to comply with Thyrsian Submissions, and added previously missing Weaknesses.
