| DESCRIPTION: | The CBRNTV-EEST-MK.I, Or Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear Temperature Vacuum Evironmental Exploration Suit Mark One if you are feeling particularly annoying, Is a specially designed suit to keep the wearer alive in as many possible situations as one can imagine so that workers and perhaps even soldiers can operate in environments that are simply far too inhospitable for anyone else wearing anything else to go without weighing them down far too much or costing them too much. Initially conceived by a pair of engineers who snuck into the labs after hours while hopped up on hallucinogenics and amphetamines, and has gone on to become one of the companies more popular offerings among the more dangerous industrial jobs on the market, as well as saving the jobs of the aforementioned engineers, for now. To suit the environments in which technicians and engineers have to operate, the designers had to take into account a number of factors which would be present. Chemically one would have to deal with a number of things when operating, everything from poisnous gasses to corrosive acids could be involved, to combat this, not only is the suit itself completely airtight, but also sports its own internal oxygen systems with 600 Liters of oxygen that activate in the presence of poisnous gasses or liquids along with C02 Scrubbers to maximize usable oxygen and are capable of refilling in the presence of clean air via built in air compressor. To combat other chemical threats the exterior of the suit, consisting of mostly metal and softer non-reactive polymer substances, is able to survive such things as swimming across a lake of acid for a period of time. The air tight part, also deals with the biological hazards that might be present. This layer uses approximately five Kilograms of weight. It is also highly electrically resistant. Furthermore, the middle layers of the suit exist to deal with radiological threats such as those present from nuclear sources or simply high amounts of background radiation. To do this, the suit makes use of mixture of finely ground and powderised Neuranium and Lead that though highly radiation proof does little to hinder a lightsaber. The base of this middle layer simply consists of a thin fabric layer upon which the mixture of Neuranium and lead is layered on with resin and then sandwiched between a second layer of fabric. Joint areas are moderately thicker with more than one sandwich layer, allowing them to slide over one another during movement. Because of the minimal materials used, this layer takes up approximately three kilograms of weight. Thermally the suit makes use of a highly dangerous material to keep itself from conducting heat, Asbestos. Despite it's dangerous properties it is one of the best thermal materials one can possibly use have a particularly high specific heat capacity and an extremely low thermal conductivity. Existing as a tightly packed woven fiber layer inbetween other layers it provides an almost ridiculous amount of thermal protection and insulation keeping the wearer warm in low temperature environments and cool in extremely hot situations, allowing them to survive and operate in extremely high temperature situations for extrended periods of time. In total, these layers weigh almost two kilograms. Breach of the Asbestos layer though is hazardous, and though unlikely to impact the wearer it is dangerous to those around them and themselves should they breath in unfiltered open air. Breaches must be dealt with by a professional abatement team the instant the wearer is out of harms way. Finally, the cloest layer to the wearer is a space activity suit which using the soft crushing force of the fabric on the wearers body allows them to traverse vacuum environments without issue unless compromised making up the vacuum component of this armour system. With all that, the only real places that this suit isn't really usable is deep under the sea, and even then it can effectively work as a diving suit down to standard depths. Technologically, the Environmental Exploration Suit is fairly unique, It's primarily open source. A good deal of the internal components from hardrives to processors can be swapped around as necessary and the very operating system that controls the suit, can be changed or even swapped out to meet the users distinct operational preferences. Accompanying this technological backbone is a high number of sensors built into it. Practically everything is monitored. At the user level it monitors ones own heart rate, how much oxygen they are burning, core body temperatures. Internally it monitors itself as well, how hot or cold the suit is getting layer by layer, the force of gravity acting upon it, whether the suit is compromised or not, status of the internal electronic components in full. Externally it monitors such things as temperature, pressure, altitude, the composition of the outside air, background radiation, movement speed, and tracks the direction of sounds in 3D Space. |
| EQUIPMENT: | -Auto Medic- Internally the EEST Has a number of subsystems designed to aid in the survival of those who wear the suit. In the event that a wearer should either fall unconscious or become outright incapacitated the suit can provide a variety of functions geared to getting them back on their feet. This ranges from simple small electrical shocks to rouse consciousness, all the way to administering defibrilation with the interior breathing apparatus performing a function similar to a bag valve mask to promote breathing. On a diagnostics level it monitors the wearers oxygen burn rate, heart rate, amount of time gone without sleep, estimates rough calorie burn amounts. It'll also tell the user their core body temperature, warning if Hypothermia or Hyperthermia is likely to occur from increasing or lowering body heats. -Oxygen Regulation Systems- To allow operation in environments where acceptable breathing air is not available, the suit has a pair of slim 0.75 Litre reinforced durasteel oxygen tanks positioned one flatly along the chest and another along the back in the most reinforced areas of the suit. Charged up to a pressure of 35MPa the two tanks hold a combined total amount of oxygen totalling over 500 Litres. On average a person only needs to consume a total of 550 liters of oxygen per day, thus with proper management of resources and cycling of available oxygen, a technician can on average get almost 18 hours of life out of their tanks assuming normal physical activity. However, under normal circumstances the wearer will breathe unfiltered air from external sources unless harmful chemicals or inadequate amounts of oxygen are detected. -Short Range Communicator- Though it is intended for a more powerful, external communicator, to be used. The EEST also has a built in internal communicator that though much less powerful is much more protected. A Standard civilian model, encryption is quite limited. Exact range is dependent. If one were standing on a heightened surface with flat area all around them, they may get five to ten kilometers of range out of it, with serious interference such as radiation, heavy forestation, or even being in tunnels one would be lucky to get around three hundred meters out of it. -External Lighting- Nothing special, the EEST Has externally mounted lighting, along the helmer of the suit and the chest to provide light. -Electrical Management Systems- In order to maximise functionality for extended periods of time in the event that a wearer were to find themselves trapped or otherwise unable to return immediately to a safe environment some electrical concerns had to be taken into account. The suits main electrical system is based of a set of three compartmented Lithium-Sulphur batteries hooked up in a parallel arrangement so that should one battery become compromised or otherwise stop working, it does not cut power to the suit or injured the suits wearer from exploding or leaking cells. Furthermore, to increase battery life by a measly couple hours, the interior liner of the suit is formed of a thermoelectric material based off Carbon Nanotubes frabric using the users body heat to general a small amount of electricity to slightly offset the suits power usage. Overall assuming maximum electrical draw across all systems the suit has a battery life of 21 hours. -Helmet Audio Visual Systems- Linking the systems various sensors and electronic components together is the helmet. Within it are speakers which play both system sounds to indicate warnings and other statuses as well as bring in filtered external audio that is reduced to a level that, in the event of something damagingly loud makes a noise, the wearers ears are adequately protected from it. On a visual level the interior faceplate of the helmet has a number of small projectors, virtual retinal displays, that project images onto the eye when looked at. This eliminates the traditional need for much larger displays. Overall there are a number of them inside the helmet, the images they display coming into sight when one moves their eye in the direction one of said projectors is projecting. This allows a large amount of information to inhabit a much smaller area. The rough function of these displays and programming is typically up to the wearers individual needs. -Internal External Sensory Array- Providing further diagnostic data is the suits wide array of sensors. Internally these take measure of heat throughout the layers, power use, oxygen levels, compromises within the suit itself. Externally it is capable of measuring temperature, radiation, atmospheric pressure, altitude, air speed, air composition, the force of gravity. Simple enough. -Mobility Enhancement Systems- As a technician has to operate in almost any sort of situation, a small number of things have been worked around to provide at least optimal ability for one to maneuver whether on solid ground or dangling off a satellite in free fall. The bottoms of the boots, and the palms of the gloves, have been outfitted with electrically active magnets so that in a pinch a wearer can use them to lock themselves against a magnetic metallic surface such as the outside of a space ship or a sloped surface. One further the boots are also home to a small array of civillian grade repulsors each, adding an extra meter or two to a users jump should they need it. -Radiation Resistant Layer- The Middle Layer, which consists of a mixture of primarily powdered lead mixed with a small portion of powdered neuranium forms a formidable barrier against radiological threats as well as providing a shield to the electronic systems that are concealed beneath this layer. Despite the use of a lightsaber resistant substance though, it provides no effective resistance against them or any other weapon. -Thermal Resistant Layer- A Pair of thermally resistant layers, one positioned under the exterior most layer, the other under the Radiation layer, sit made of a tight weave of asbestos fibres, the most thermally resistant substance one can possibly get their hands on. With a melting point as high as steel, a specific heat capacity a quarter that of water, and an absurdly low thermal conductivity, a person can effectively operate in areas of extreme temperature differences for an extended period of time, and be exposed to temperatures as high as a thousand degrees for several minutes. -Chemically Resistant Layer- The external most areas of the suit, primarily made up of non-conductive chemically non-reactive soft polymers with metal plates merely layered over them for protective reasons provides a fairly chemically resistant basis. Things like Acids and other corrosive compounds do fairly little to it, though things like fire will easily compromise it, and provides also adequate protection against moderate voltages and electrical currents. |
| ARMOUR: | The Environmental Exploration Suit though a fairly robust system is not one without its flaws, and for all the survivability it offers its users, there's one aspect for which it was not designed. Combat. Overall the armour itself is on the lighter side, and its layered setup is much better at absorbing impact and shrapnel better than any other types of attacks with most bladed weapons cutting through it without a whole lot of issue in the softer areas. It's greatest defense is against Chemicals, Biologicals, Radiologicals, and thermal threats. In terms of bullets and blasters its protection is far far lighter. actual metal is fairly sparse covering such areas as the chest, the outside of the arms, the back, shoulders, outer thighs, shins, knees, elbows and back of the hands. the sides, insides of arms, insides of the legs, and feet, are completely devoid of armour. The strongest points for armour are in the helmet and chest, capable of taking a few average blaster shots at best with hits to the same rough spot likely breaking through, these areas are also capable of taking on fire from most catridges up to common assault rifle catridges with more powerful rounds or armor piercing cartridges likely breaking through with ease. The lighter armoured areas such as outside of the legs or arms are capable of taking on indirect shots at best. |
| ROLE: | Utility and Support |
| Intent: | The Intent of this is, not only to stat out a piece of equipment one of my characters will be wearing, but also to provide a somewhat less combat oriented piece of armour designed more with utility purposes in mind that simple combat. |
| COST: | 22,000 Cr |
