Pilots Flight Suit

Just because Wiley takes crazy risks doesn't mean he is a complete fool. The safety measures and capabilities of a flight suit are integral and only a suicidal individual wouldn't have one at the ready when plying the void. The only protective plating he keeps in his armor is the helmet itself. Spending long times sitting and not in a combat situation makes the armor plates 'uncomfortable' so he forgoes them entirely in his customized suit. His primary concern for using a flight suit is just to deal with the dangers of space travel more than combat to any extent. When not flying he'll continue to wear the flight suit without its helmet with an accompanying flight jacket.

INTENT

To provide a standard flight suit for my character..

LEGALITY

Legal and commonly available throughout the galaxy. Some localities even consider it mandatory safety gear to have on hand, akin to life jackets on a maritime vessel.

Type and Coverage

Type: Light Armor.
Coverage:


  • Head: An enclosed duraplast helmet.


Functions

Function 1: Rebreather
  • Rebreathers, whether built into a helmet or a separate mask, allow for the wearer to breath underwater or in space for brief amounts of time by scrubbing CO2 from their exhaled breath and recycling it. Generally this lasts for up to 5 posts, but heavy exertion can shorten that time.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
Function 2: Vac-Seal
  • It's no replacement for a dedicated spacesuit if you intend to EVA, but this under suit, when combined with a helmet, can protect the wearer from the immediate effects of exposure to a vacuum for up 5 posting rounds. You still need a way to breathe, however.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
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- however, without other protective gear, the life support box itself provides only 3 rounds of protection from the elements. It 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 much longer time than its wearer can survive.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
Function 4: Armorweave Accessory
  • 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.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
Function 5: Computer spike
  • Computer spikes are used to forcibly decrypt or unlock computer terminals. Most civilian systems can be cracked in one posting round, while most military or hardened systems take two or more.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
