Takai's Armored Flight Suit


Takai's flight suit is a modified SoroSuub MMA-series armored flight suit. The armor consists of a case durasteel cuirass that protects her front and back and an open faced durasteel helmet with a transparisteel lens, the helmet can seal over the lens with a retracting durasteel faceplate, though this forces the wearer to rely on a HUD cam for visual. The bodysuit is an armorweave polymer meant to protect the wearer against possible light EVA dangers in space such as shrapnel or space debris, and is EVA rated for short periods of time. Mounted on the back is a life support box.


The helmet possesses an oxygen scrubbing rebreather for use in oxygen lacking environments, and a scout HUD.


Also of note are some minor accessories. Forearm, hand, and shin pads protect against minor impacts, but are not blaster rated. A small flashlight can pop out of the side of the helmet. The helmet posseses a comlink and Takai had installed a small wrist comm into the forearm as well.

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.

Function 2: 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 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. 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: Armorweave Underlay


  • Most often in the form of a heavy cape, skirt, or underlay beneath armor, armor weave provides some protection against the penetrating effects of shrapnel from explosives and other unpowered high velocity impacts, with only a small amount of bleed through damage (bruising or very minor wounds). It offers no protection against kinetic impact or energy, vibroweapons, or similar "powered" weapons. Having more than one accessory (example: Cape + underweave) provides no additional effect.

Function 5: Scout HUD


  • Scout HUD - Contains a 4x magnifier and Compass.
