Armor Sets

All Rounder

Used by the many branches of the Alliance military this armor set serves as a good basis for any infantry operation soldier. Able to use any pack and the wide plethora of equipment and accessories this set has no stand out strengths but no real weaknesses and good versatility. Commonly equipped by infantry soldiers, JTEF soldiers,Tangram troopers, some Stratego tech troopers, some Striker pilots and who ever else would be stationed in a combat zone. The set allowed the following enhancements:

1)Able to connect all pack support systems. This allowed the set to operate in a variety of conditions.

2)Reinforced armor plating composed of Ne0-Carbonium coated with a layer of blast steel. Ne0-Carbonium was chosen as the base due to it's light weight, heat absorbing property and good durability. The blast steel over top added to the durability against energy weapons and as an attachment point for magnetic clamp equipment. This made the set durable enough to take glancing blows from most anti-infantry weapons but not against anything designed to stop power armor or frames. These armor plating were over vulnerable sections of the body but not over areas that needed the most mobility.

3)Special shock absorbing boots that could allow a soldier to survive a fall from a 2-3 story building if they landed feet first. A special hydraulic shock would extend before impact and absorb most of the kinetic energy while the frame of the enhancement suit could absorb the rest.

4)Multi-spectral chest light for operations in the dark.

5)Helmet system that could switch out googles or mouth pieces. The default googles were a HUD (Heads Up Display) information integrated google with a drop down mechanism equipped with night vision google and headlight. Default mask was able to seal against space, liquid or gases and had adequate face protection it too was on a drop down mechanism if the trooper wished to not have the mouth piece up. The helmet also had a built in short range data link so troopers could talk or relay information to each other up to a range of 500 meters.

6)Small suite of sensors with micro CPU for suit diagnostics and battlefield intelligence. This allowed the trooper to accurately size up resources and field conditions to choose the proper course of action.

Heavy Armor

Coming down on mobility but increasing the protections levels this set was used when durability was called for. Mainly used by non-enhanced (humans who were neither technopaths (Stratego), speed enhanced (Striker) or spell attuned (Tangram)) troopers in intense fire fights. The set gave the following enhancements:

1)Extremely thick armor plating (same material as All rounder plate) covered in reactive ceramic strips. This combination allowed for direct hits from some of the heaviest infantry weapons and still expect the soldier to survive.

2)5% increase in load bearing ability. Allowed for a soldier to carry heavier guns and more ammunition.

3)Increased head protection for face, skull and eyes.

3)The default googles were a HUD (Heads Up Display) information integrated google with a drop down mechanism equipped with night vision google and headlight.

Stealth Operations

Used for special forces in prolonged infiltration missions. Far down in protection this set allowed for the best stealth equipment available to Alliance soldiers. The set gave the following enhancements:

1)Thermo optic cloak and special coating on hard surfaces to give soldiers almost complete invisibility to the naked eyes and electronic sensors. TO cloak is designed for prolonged and multiple uses.

2)Composite armor and components through out the armor for stealth against magnetic detectors.

3)Sound deading boots

4)Special combination mask which included: gas mask, rebreather, multi spectral visors and night vision googles.
