Armor Krom's Hunting Armor

[Burpee]

KROM'S HUNTING ARMOR​

This handcrafted armor may not look like much, but what it lacks in appearance it makes up for in utility. The base of this armor started as a basic flight suit with a duraplast-armored torso and has been heavily modified and tinkered with to incorporate modifications to both protect the wearer and assist in capturing criminals. On top of the standard armor, Krom has mounted duraplast pauldrons on the shoulders as well as duraplast plates over the knees, which he painted orange to match the armor of his flight suit. The back is now covered by a duraplast-armored life support box, and he wears a pair of unarmored gauntlets fit with modifications to complete the set.

Functions​

Function 1: Rebreather

• Rebreathers allow for a person to survive underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath. Generally this lasts for 3-4 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
• Mounted at the top of the chest plate with small hydraulics to push it towards the wearer's mouth when activated

Function 2: Vision Modes

• This Allows the goggles' HUD to cycle to low-light OR thermal vision modes.

Function 3: Life-Support Pack

• 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 4: Whipcord Thrower

• The whipcord launcher was a personal weapon that fired a thin fibercord whip which then wrapped around and ensnared the target to restrict mobility up to 10 meters away while remaining attached to the mount point. It was detachable with a second use of the firing button. The whipcord launcher was favored by bounty hunters, as it was easy to carry and use and it virtually always ensured a live capture, though it could be cut by a vibro blade with ease.

Function 5: Datapad

• This standard datapad is mounted across the forearm via a gauntlet, allowing for limited computer access while mobile.
