Armor ISC Naval Spacesuit

[Nefieslab]

ISC Naval Spacesuit​

The version of a standard space-flight suit as used by the ISC Naval forces. Fully equipped in the same manner as standard spacesuits but with some additional functions added for the benefit of the pilots who use it. Pilots who sign up with the ISC Navy receive two of these spacesuits and are expected to maintain them on their own time - as a version of the typical suit with some additional, pre-loaded, extra functions they can be found for sale from military surplus stores within ISC space as there is a market for them.​

LEGALITY​

Entirely legal to own as part of the ISC Navy - entirely legal to buy from officially licenced surplus stores.​

INTENT​

Intent is to give ISC Naval forces a standardized space-flight suit. This is both for flavour for NPCs and for use by PCs operating around ISC space.​

Functions​

Function 1: Rebreather

• Rebreathers, whether built into a helmet or a separate mask, allow for the wearer to breath underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath and recycling it. Generally this lasts for up to 5 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
• Force User Compatible: Yes

Function 2: Vac-Seal

• It's no replacement for a dedicated spacesuit if you intend to EVA, but this under suit, when combined with a helmet, can protect the wearer from the immediate effects of exposure to a vacuum for up 5 posting rounds. You still need a way to breathe, however.
• Force User Compatible: Yes

Function 3: Life Support Box

• Life support boxes are emergency gear designed to be worn in conjunction with other safety equipment, such as vac-suits and rebreathers. The device can be manually activated via a switch on the chest box, but most also automatically engage when exposed to vacuum. When activated, the device projects a small mag-shield "bubble" around the user that is just strong enough to contain a tiny amount of livable atmosphere. Life support boxes double the protection provided by vac seals and rebreathers- however, without other protective gear, the life support box itself provides only 3 rounds of protection from the elements. It also contains a high power distress beacon that the broadcasts the pilots precise coordinates to any ship within a parsec. The distress beacon can be manually deactivated, and can broadcast for much longer time than its wearer can survive.
• Force User Compatible: Yes

Function 4: Thermal Undersuit

• Thermal undersuits wick away or reflect thermal energy for brief periods of time. They are not nearly as effective as a suit that firefighters would wear. Most commonly used to protect soldiers from flamethrower weapons or short bursts of extreme heat or cold, and are only good for 1-2 posts of exposure depending on intensity. They are useless against blasters.
• Force User Compatible: No

Function 5: Mag-Boots

• Magnetic boots contain electromagnets in the soles and allow for enhanced movement on ferrous surfaces in microgravity or steep gradients. This functionality must be turned on or off manually by a button or switch.
• Force User Compatible: Yes
