Republic Pilot Suit

This armored suit was made for Republic pilots who went out on combat missions. It provided some emergency life support for the wearer and allowed them the best chance when jettisoned into space. It needed to both protect the pilot from space while also giving them mild protection if they were boarded or captured. Combat pilots were seldom seen without this life saving suit.

LEGALITY

Legal for members of the Republic Navy to wear.


ADVANCED TECH
No

Functions




Function: 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. Without other protective gear, the life support box itself provides only 3 rounds of protection. The system 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 s much longer time than its wearer can survive.


Function: Emergency Vac-Suit
  • It's no replacement for a spacesuit if you intend to EVA, but this undersuit, if combined with a helmet, can protect the wearer from the immediate effects of exposure to a vacuum for 5 posting rounds. You still need a way to breathe, however.


Function: 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.


Function: Survival HUD
  • Reads atmosphere composition and detects toxins.

Shins are actually under the "feet" location. Still same amount of area covered in your write up. Everything between the knees and waist is pretty much "leg" area.
