Armor

These are the more common armors available to the main races. Use similar stats for other race's armors.

Flight Suit

Similar in nature to a standard space suit, the flight suit differs in some key areas. The flight suit protects the pilot from the rigors of ACM by means of a G-Suit layer and reinforced and padded sections of the suit. It provides tactical displays via a helmet HUD system when connected to the ship's computer. It provides supplemental life support when/if the ship's main life support systems are damaged. Because of this, the flight suit has less freedom of movement than a standard space suit, although not as much weight as a standard suit because of the smaller PLS system. The flight suit can serve as a regular environmental suit for boarding actions, but it is not designed for heavy use while out of a ship's cockpit.

Link

The "Link" is the standard personal communications device issued to all Earthforce military personnel and civilian contractors working on Earth Alliance Military instillation since 2250. The Link provided Earthforce personnel with a voice-only connection to all Inter/Intra instillation communication networks and computer/security systems, whether onboard a space station, colony, outpost or starship.

Broadcast signals are coded and isolated to specific systems to prevent signal hacking and an individual Link can only be used by a single person. Security against theft includes a molecular bonding, DNA coded surface that attaches and adheres to a person's skin and thus ensures that only that person can use that specific Link for communication purposes.

Links also provide access to confidential security system, voice computer access, basic system controls and can even be used a location/tracked system to find injured personnel. As a Link contains up to seven Terabytes of information, Earthforce issued links also contain information about the user, including molecular/DNA code system as well as basic "dog-tag" information on a given user.

Links use a plasma electric battery with a half-life of six years, with a 6000 Mhz nanoprocessor, with an infrared transceiver capable of broadcasting on a multi-ban frequency ranging from low gain radio to high frequency microwave communications. Link uses a liquid matrix speaker with a lightwave pressure microphone that can be accesses via voice only or touch pad controls.

Links are almost impossible to hack if stolen, due to built in internal safety systems and the need for high skill micro-circuitry engineering equipment. While it is extremely difficult to hack a Link, it is not impossible and Earthforce personal should report any stolen link immediately to the proper authorities.

Space Suit

This is the standard Earth Alliance Space Suit, used anywhere vacuum is on the other side of the door. They are brightly colored for rescue purposes and contain life support for 8 hours of normal usage. They have magnetic soles for clamping onto ship or station hulls, locator beacons (on by default), helmet radios and lights, a sun visor, and other accessories. Standard EVA models also have a Simplified Aid for Extravehicular Activity Rescue (SAFER) unit integrated into the PLSS backpack for limited untethered maneuvering in a vacuum.

Space Suit Repair Kit

This is a standard issue suit repair kit, containing self adhesive patches of various sizes as well as a tube of adhesive for really significant tears. Note that this kit is generally intended for repairing small holes, not multi-inch gashes.

Translator

This is the standard "Universal" translator used by many aliens who may be able to understand human speech (English as the Earthforce standard) but are incapable of speaking it. It is a hand-held unit, or may sit on a table top. It is capable of translating one pre-programmed alien language into English, and back. The unit flashes when active. It does not work on written text. Smaller units are available which can be incorporated into environment suits or worn as a necklace.
