Trooper's Plate
An ancient, archaic suit of armor based on durasteel plates over a padded undersuit with environmental protections. The armor protects the vital points on the body while the sealed bodysuit protects the user inside from hazardous conditions, at least for a few minutes. The plates and suit can be modified to fit most alien anatomies with little trouble, but the weight and bulk of the armor can make it cumbersome in battle. This is common among mercenaries, criminals, fringers, and poor planetary forces.
LEGALITY
Restricted. This is heavy combat armor that will draw attention from local authorities if worn publicly in almost any system.

Functions
- 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.
- While it is not rated for extended exposure to extreme hazards, this body suit (when combined with an enclosed helmet) can protect the wearers body from the effects of environmental and weaponized toxins and similar hazards for up to 5 posting rounds.
- Filters are bulky attachments to a helmet, or function as part of a mask, that filter out environmental contaminants such as smoke or most toxins. They are susceptible to caustic substances and damage.
