There was one particular pod that hadn't yet been activated. The content inside was of biomechical design yet unlike the rest of the crew the pod remained dormant. When all others were awakened and off to their duties only then did the pod activated. Suddenly the machine hissed, releasing cold air and allowing the thawing process. In that time did the flicker of a visor indicate activity was being around. As soon as the cryo pod's hisses opened and slid upward to allow the individual to exit, the Protogen did just that. Cautiously he stepped out, taking one step at a time until fully standing with his back facing the pod opening. There was a loading bar across the black shaped visor, the fingers and bushy tail of the Protogen twitch slightly here and there as if they were still in a dream state. After a minute the bar fully loaded in its blue color, it flickered off then eyes and a mouth were formed from simple lines, shaped to give off expression. The eyes opened to a simple single dot in either or presented as pupils, the Protogen looked down at the pod with a look of disgust... More so with what one could describe as anger. "So I am not in hell..." The Protogen quietly said to himself with deep tone yet there was the obvious synthetic background that came with it like a background. "Please Identify." "Series One, Model Two-Forty-Five." The Protogen announced quietly to the pod. Finally the pod closed after giving a light chime, finishing its processing for the next shift. He stared at it for a moment before moving again to stretch this time, allowing his flesh to get the limberness it needed after being frozen. He thought that he had died, the Protogen thought that Earth Gov. would've sent him off to space forever in a cryo pod, perhaps into the sun even. He still felt it, the burning, the torment, for an instance he thought he had seen a familiar pink and purple light above the pits reaching down to finally deliver him unto... That was until Model 245 awoke from his long nightmare. But now he was here, in a new kind of hell. Model 245 turned to see an empty room, obviously everyone else had been awoken as well and very recently at that. Despite the lack of mechanical repairs needed, he decided a hot shower was in fact in order. Later. Instead 245 used his motion tracker to see where everyone was, and luckily it was the common room that seemed to be the point of interest. Without needing to change and his metallic armor pieces keeping his pieces hidden and protected, he moved into the halls. Finally arriving into the common rooms did Model 245 take a place in a corner, carefully stating out of everyone's sight as he leaned against the cold steel wall. Some during orientation called him, "Cringe," For acting the way he did. It was the fact he hated people that he remained distant.

Series 1: Model 245, "Vulture"
Images added to a gallery album owned by BladeRunner in Starfinder's Characters
Name: M425, "Vulture" Race: Protogen Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Appearance: Amongst the first 500 Protogen models, Vulture was designed for daily duties primarily heavy lifting and warehouse work. As such, he surprisingly only stands at 5'3" but has the strength of three body builders, his form is meant to show some muscle but otherwise it's compact nature makes him perfect for any given task. Donning black fur and biomechanical parts of a wolf, Vulture greatly resembles an Anthro. While he may not have a mouth or nose per sé, he has a fitted visor that can allow him to show emotion and expression with digital facial features; which are blue. His mechanical parts are a jet black with glowing blue accents. Personality: While I'm wanting to express hi personality more in RP, what I'll have here is just the basics. Vulture is defined by his quiet but stern approach to individuals. He rarely talks to anyone unless it's about his duties which he is compliant. The Protogen is level headed, cut and dry with any given situation, allowing him to be neutral in personal affairs should he get involved. Despite that, there seems to be a sense of pride with security work, being a former Lunar Corp. Combat Unit, he has proven himself to be more than capable of handling high intense situations and shows no stress. Of course, that was after he had most of the military upgrades stripped for obvious reasons by Earth. Occupation: Security Guard --------- Sorry I don't have more, I wanted to actually flesh out his character more in role-play, if you don't mind. It allows for some insight as to what exactly he is as a sentient being, as well as to maybe adding a slight detail to the servers lore. -

"How The FUCK Do You Get Fat In This Establishment, Private??!!" There was shouting in the Main Bay of the Black Star, a grizzled, deep toned man was currently busy chewing the life out of a young soldier who did indeed look a little thicker than before. "I'm sorry Commander, I've just been given a lot during downtime and I didn't want it to-" The Private tried to protest but to no avail as the Commander got in the kids face. "If you get shot in the battlefield who the fuck do you think has to carry you back? Your squamates, who wears a Battle Dress Uniform which weighs fifty pounds and equipment which is an additional forty!! Until you shed the fat off your ass, you won't be sent anywhere!! Am I clear?!" The Private looked like he was about to cry, however gave a strong, "Yes Sir!" "Now get your ass out of this hangar bay and get moving!!!" Joseph Briggs was the Commander of the Black Star Voyager, the second in command of the entire vessel and it's personnel. A product of his generation, considered the "Gen X" of Humanities future, it wasn't just his drive or commitment to his job that made Joseph who he was. It were the horrors of war and the trials he went through that made the slowly aging man gritty, nasty, and harsh. A quality of the finest members of the vessel no one could match was hard, brutal honesty that he had, dubbed, "The Gordon Ramsey," of the Black Star. Although his ass chewing was delivered in the harshest ways the Commander wasn't wrong, the ship needed physically fit personnel for the mission. As the Private ran off, the Commander glanced to the individuals in the hangar who had halted their work. Immediately they went back to it and he walked away, checking station to station making sure everything was going according to schedule. Some say today he woke up in a bad mood, but who could blame him? The stress combined with keeping track of a bunch of fucking kittens. 'You should have been easier.' 'He'll slow down other units. Fatigue, lack of strength and stamina, he'll die in a combat situation.' Not much was known about Briggs, only that he was one of the Hunter Supersoldiers, a slowly declining but otherwise legendary units during the Human-Xenti War. Any information of his past was only disclosed to the Captain of the ship, not even the other high ranking officers had that kind of access. Government and Military benefits. As he started up the railing to the second floor of the hangar Briggs looked out to everything below from crew members to vehicles and equipment. This was his only life, the military.

Same here, got my characters all set up when we're ready to go. In lore, wouldn't it make sense that during a long flight through space that everyone aboard be in stasis/cryo sleep? Kinda my personal thought on this, if we just got done with a slew of conflicts Humanity could still be figuring out FTL? If ya wanna go all Halo on it, could have Slip Space which opens a "portal"/wormhole from one destination to the next? -

Sat on the thought for a few days, thinking I'm done making stuff for now. Pumping that shit like nobody's business. -
Obviously the helmet is elongated, and the armor suited to fit his bodies form. Occupation: Quarters Master and self proclaimed Forge Chieftain Name: Vaal'Acree, "Acree" Race- Bhalikhan, specifically the Tei'aar Nae'hvecht'cet, a species of Lesser Tribes Age- 246 Sex- Male Sexuality- Straight Height- 9’4” Personality- Blunt, few words and to the point, Vaal'Acree is still learning Human culture, but one of the very few things he actyally likes about them is their food, hard music, and history given his specialty in smithing/crafting weapons, equipment, and thereof by hand. He is loud not on purpose and tends to compare Humans and their habits with things they don't even understand... And he doesn't care. Acree takes pride in his work, and despises fabricators, 3d printing, and any machine that can create tools of war that aren't made by hand. Skill- Smithing and crafting, gunsmithing, marksmanship, hand to hand combat, swordsmanship. Abilities- Given his entire race was born on a planet with heavier gravity, the Bhalikhan's strength and speed are easily on par with the strongest Super Soldiers and Mutants Humanity has to offer. His bone density is thicker, and his reaction is swifter than a Humans. His hide is very thick, hard to shoot through let alone stab. Bio- On one of the Founder Worlds, Ghesh'Kneaul, Vaal'Acree was born a forge slave to the lower species known as the Tei'aar Nae'hvecht'cet under the boot of the Grand Tribes/species the Bha'al Nae'Creu, Acree learned his whole life how to craft and build from weapons to warships and fighter craft, he had taken pride in this fact as it was the only thing he knew. Until the Bhalikhan-Human War broke out. When the Founder World's were annihilated along with majority of the Grand, Greater, and Evening Tribes, it freed the Lesser and Petty Tribes allowing them to do as they pleased for the first time in almost 60,000 years. Vaal'Acree took advantage of their situation and had petitioned via Human ambassador to become a Forge Master for Humanity, and in some semblance received such an "honor" to serve as one for the Black Star. Kinks- Would explore this in RP, if you don't mind. More or less mundane, but possibly a bit different given the guy's an alien What is Attractive to them in another person- N/A, would rather explore this in RP Cock Size And Look- 1ft 8in twin phallus' that have soft barbs that do not hurt at all, the twin cocks taking a more serpentine appearance with a knot at the end of each one.

List of Tools of the BlackStar Crew
BladeRunner replied to Busterbugs's topic in The BlackStar Saga's OCC Chat and Characters
The Main Defense 6th System (MD6S/"D-Six Pistol/Mallet) is a recoil-operated, magazine-fed handgun, chambered in 12.7x40mm ammunition, typically employed with semi-armor-piercing, high-explosive (SAPHE) rounds of that chambering, and feeding from 12-round detachable box magazines. It has also been known to be chambered in the .450 Magnum load. The weapon is somewhat unusual for a handgun in that it is capable of both semi-automatic and automatic firing. Modifications can lead to a variety of uses, ranging from the MD6S turning into a semi-long rifle, an short machine gun, and thereof. It is widely used in military and civilian applications. Used by security personnel, military police, and even law enforcement (Marshals/SWAT) is the Main Defense 10th System (MD10S/D-10 Pistol/Pulse Pistol) is a recoilles, near silent 18-round weapon usually employed much like the MD6S, SAPHE caliber rounds. Unlike the previous defense system the MD10S comes only as a semiautomatic pistol, sporting a small hardlight screen showing the functions (damage, nominal status, etc.) and bullet count where the hammer would normally be. It includes two other ammunition types as well, normally being fitted with .450 Magnum Enhance Electronic Pulse Caliber (MEEPC) that can inflict heavy damage to armor and ideal for beating personal energy shields. The MD10S also sports a Static Launcher, which can utilize a chunk of the systems battery to take out electronic features of vehicles, equipment, and anything electronic. Assigned to only officers, commanders, and high ranking individuals in military is the Main Defense 02 System (MD2S/2-Shot/Revolver) which chambers 6 .500 Magnum Standard, Anti-Material, Incendiary, Pulse, or Cryo rounds. The Revolver has a decent recoil control in the hands of experienced soldiers, considered a hand cannon due to the explosive impact it can have on targets. The Revolver is a tool that was introduced when Chay'uk Defenses begun their campaign in the late 21st Century, winning overall satisfaction via vote of public opinion for a cheaper, well designed and versatile home defense weapon. -

Perhaps in the Black Star arsenal there never was a big enough boom to make the enemy have second thoughts like the Remor Type-08, an energy launcher that fires magnetically charged high explosive 25mm Caliber round coated in plasma before leaving the barrel of this launcher. It was instrumental in the Human-Xenti War in eliminating enemy ground vehicles or heavily reinforced units and was a huge piece of breaking Xenti sieges, considered as the first "pulse" weapon. The plasma that is coated to the bullet is charged in such a way that it can deliver a short EMP. The actual weapon itself is charged for 20 seconds in order to properly accelerate the ammunition, however after an additional five seconds it will automatically decelerate to avoid the weapon from self destructing. The M02 Anti-Armor/Anti-Air Launching System, otherwise universally known as the Rocket Launcher, is exactly just as simple. It is a heavy portable, reusable, shoulder-launched, anti-tank, anti-air missile launcher that has been around since 2078, upgraded to withstand any environment even if it's not habitable or the sky is raining acid. This weapon can utilize a variety of missiles a fire them at high speeds, it can "switch" to a lock-on system for guided ground-to-air or missile-to-ground, allowing for anti-air/armor combat. -

The XM09, the Bulldog, is a tactical shotgun utilized by security detail and soldiers in close quarters battle/combat. This semiautomatic shotgun is used in many operations, coming in three variants: Standard (XM09S) which fires at a quick rate with a wider spread, Narrow (XM09N) is designed with a much tighter pellet spread that allows for more precise fire, and the Heavy (XM09H) which fires farther, however the Heavy is pump action but is almost recoilles. It is a standard weapon aboard the Black Star. While the XM09 is almost famous, it doesn't compare to the Winchester Model '38. The Model '38 is without a doubt the most useful of the defense weapons in close quarters, featuring an adjusting switch that can tighten the barrel or loosen it for wider or narrow spread. The weapon has a farther range and stronger kick, utilized in almost any battlefield. The shotgun can utilize a variety of 8, 12, 16, and 20 guage shells with very little issue, examples are: hollow (light and fast, used on unarmored individualsor animals), pulse (which can effect shielding and produces a split second EMP), and heavy slug rounds (designed to travel a gair distance and punch through armor); assigned 00 Buckshot Shells (pellets that spread), flechette and incendiary shells (spiked/darts and Dragons Breath), and three other explosive variants: High Explosive (HE), High Explosive Armor-piercing (HEAP) and High Explosive Fragmenting Antipersonnel (HEFA). The XM22 Auto is an automatic shotgun universally known as the, "Boar," Given its gnarly bite and quick firing speed. While range can be an issue, it makes up for that by delivering powerful punches and a large cartridge that can contain an upward of 50 shells/slugs. It is heavier than other shotguns and much like the Model '38 ot can use virtually any ammunition type that shotguns use, however it has to be adjusted to a specific setting internally to load the ammo before going into combat, otherwise it will jam. Surprisingly, if there is a bullet the same size as a guage shell or a bore slug it can fire it, quickly converting the weapon into a light machine gun with a little less accuracy than most weapons. -

One of the most efficient and well-known weapons is the Winchester M8 Battle Carbine, otherwise known as the M8BC or the Battle Carbine for short. It is a gas fed rifle with a 20 round magazine firing a 7.62mm Caliber bullet, designed to fire with a low recoil and comfort of the individual using it. Perhaps it is the most common given how durable it is, iconic for the wide use and modifications it can possess that can alter combat in many ways. The Ordnance Munitions Type-23 Long Rifle is a low recoil, high velocity firearms that is much like it's later variant, the OMT26b Gauss Rifle. It utilizes two types of firing, Standardized Ballistics (SB) or Magnetized Puncture (MP), the former utilizing the 14.5mm Caliber Anti-Material round whilst the latter feeds off a short battery charge for the more devastating, secondary rate of fire which launches the bullet at such a velocity that it can be considered an anti-tank weapon. However utilizing the secondary heats up the barrel that the interior of the weapon seizes until the air fed chamber cools. Possibly the most renowned amongst elite kill squads, special forces, or more notably used by Hunters, the OMT-30 Accelerator Rifle is anything but subtle in its long line of usage. Deemed too much gun for man, the Type-30, or dubbed the Deliverer or, "ATC/Anti-Tank Cannon," is a powerful long rifle that is heavier and deals incomprehensible damage at a velocity that only it can fire at. Taking notes from both the Guass Rifle and Battle Carbine, the ATC applied kinetic and thermal energy at a superheated, high accelerated plutonium 15mm round only unique to this weapon. Designed during the Human-Xenti War, the ATC was specialized in taking down dropships or enemy armor that possessed energy shielding, which other explosives and ballistic weapons wouldn't normally work. This piece of arsenal is extremely expensive, and only few of its kind were allowed on the Black Star. -

The OM327 assault rifle is an air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed, fully automatic rifle that fires 7.62×51mm ammunition. The OM327 is modular, which allows for easy cleaning and repair. It is a state of the art rifle that is interchangeable in the field of combat, being able to be converted from a battle rifle to an assault rifle, or even a light squad automatic weapon. It's light magazine can hold 12, whilst the full mag holds 38, and the drum magazine can carry 60 rounds of standard, hollowpoint, armor piercing, and incendiary of caliber 7.62 mm. The BR45 Service Rifle is the basic model of the series, the BR45SR is employed as a medium-to-long range marksman rifle; though its barrel is 25.9 centimeters (10.2 inches) longer than that of the original BR30, the BR45SR performs almost identically to its predecessor. It fires M634 X-HP-SAP round from a 36-round magazine, which fits flush in the receiver. The magazine housing is built directly into the underside of the stock of the rifle and is located behind the grip. Though the BR45SR is a select-fire weapon, it is most often used in its three-round burst mode. Despite firing a very powerful cartridge, the weapon is subject to little recoil, even when being fired automatically. The OM-T26b Gauss Rifle is an advanced coul gun, a type of accelerator, which uses electromagnetic coils configured as a linear motor to accelerate ferromagnetic or conductive projectiles to extreme velocities . It's high firing power allows it to punch through energy shields and armor being favored against SPS/FPS (Semi Powered Rig/Full Powered Rig) combat, it's ridiculously long range allows it to be utilized as a "Sniper Rifle" but had otherwise proven useful in close range. The Guass Rifle uses an auto-loading 2mm cartridge slid into the magazine well, located in front of the trigger guard making reloading easy. It has a variety of modifications to one's needs or to the needs of an operation, however not many exist due the age of the weapon and when its original company was lost in WWIII. Designated as the SAW (Squad ASquadtic Weapon) the OM565HR is designed and manufactured by Ordnance Munitions, is used in protracted engagements where sustained or suppressive fire is required. The weapon is fed ammunition by a 72-round belt in a drum magazine with 7.62mm (normally) armor piercing rounds, and is used between shirt and long ranges, however weapon spread tends to grow the it is fired, making it more practical in mid-ranged warfare. -

Probably could do a massive desert and wasteland biome, a whole continent to make things interesting. For planet lore could also throw in some ancient ruins of a once-advanced race long gone... I could definitely do that if need be totally wouldn't be inspired or ripped off of the Forerunners from Halo That said, if I happen to do the ruins, it could open up some missions for characters for an excavation... Not without conflict of course, because Team Earth has to have enemies. -

Just got done with armor/BDU... It's gonna take me a good while to get weapons and equipment done. But I'm gonna be doing only specific types of weapons, three of each (Rifle/Carbine, Shotgun, SMG, Sidearm, LMG, launchers), and they'll be universal mostly so mods are interchangeable. I know I said I wasn't world building, but dammit that ain't stopping me from creating protection for the crew! Also, imo I think super soldiers/mutants children shouldn't have the same attributes as the parents. Like in appearance of course they obviously have physical traits, but when it comes to transformations or augmented physical prowess that's something that the individual has to get tested on. -

Now for the second set of BDU's (Battle Dress Uniform), and make Carhart product actually usable. The Multipurpose Augmentation Mk. II Combat Rig (Hunter Armor) was designed during the third theatre of the Human-Xenti War specifically for Super Soldiers, otherwise the Hunter operatives at that time. While the combat rig was later repurposed for "general use" it is extremely hard to utilize given its programming to augment the physical prowess of an individual. The armor, on standard Humans, would contort limbs to varying degrees and is still capable of such things. When "fitted" onto a Hunter or similarly mutated/augmented individuals the rig strained on their bodies but relaxed when the onboard systems successfully gauged the body, only ever having to do it once, and nee rigs likewise. The Hunter Rig has a built-in overshield that is far stronger than that of the Vanguard Rig, it is heavier but provides the best protection compared to any suit given its thick alloy plating, which are layered and between is a kinetic liquid gel that hardens upon impact. With improved features of the Vanguard Rig, the Hunter Rig is considered the ultimate form of protection and has had later modifications suited for various roles. The armor allows for Hunters and those similar to run three to four times faster than the Human athlete reaching to speedsof 55mph, they can flip over a Tiger main battle tank and reflexes have been sharpened thanks to the rigs interior design from circuit to nerve interface. The armor also allows for an AI to be built into it. Thanks to furthet testing, when the Bhalikhan -Human War begun the enemy was exceedingly overkill on their ballistic weapons, they were obviously on par with even the first generation Hunter Rigs that a new line of armor was designed. While the Hunter Rig was indefinitely power armor, the Mk. I "Guardian" Multipurpose Augmentation Support Rig was built to exceed the original Hunter Rig. The armor was built with dual energy shielding and heavier, thicker plating than before, making it more protective but cumbersome. Hajd picked super soldiers and mutants were specifically trained to utilize this armor as during the "fitting" process it was more a strain but otherwise a success on 89% of subjects. Featuring augmented strength and reflexes, an onboard HUD, the Guardian Rig had a unique helmet (to the wearers liking) that allowed them to see in a variety of different thermal palets via thermal imaging from short to long range, night vision, crystal clear optic imaging, and the ability to see all the different colored spectrums thanks to the specially designed optics built into the helmet. Guardian Rigs are slowly being upgraded to be more comfortable as each generation passes, allowing for less strain during fitting abd better usage in most fields, however it was specifically used for heavy weapons operations and usage of piloting ground armour. -

So I've been thinking about alien species and Human history, given this is a voyage and Earth most likely has had contact with ETs outside their own solar system I have a type of proposition for lore on Human conflicts with aliens in the past. While also introducing an NPC/PC race or two. ~~~~~~ While the greater galaxy is still undiscovered by Humanity as a species, we've found just enough to be recognized by a variety of advanced alien civilizations just after the Human-Xenti War. This also includes opportunistic species such as the reptilian Bhalikhan or the fungloid hive mind Chorus. Whichever the case, Mankind has in the past decades found that there are no rules of war in the broader galaxy, even though we have reached out to various extraterrestrial councils and governments, there are a set of rules like we Humans have. After we took the spoils of war fron the Xenti Remnant, we started to recolonize worlds and systems lost, however now we have run into a new enemy: the Bhalikhan Greater Hordes. Reptilian in nature, three times the size and strength of even Human athletes, this species was based on conquest and war rooted even into their clutches of young as soon as they can learn. While their weapons were just as crude as Man's were, they sported blades and seemed to relish in melee versus firearms or energy rifles when on the ground, their military fleets were designed to be sluggish and heavy but made up for it with firepower and FTL travel. They struck a dog while it was down, and again Man was faced with fighting a foreign conflict but this wasn't impossible. In fact, the key words, "Was based on," Were major factors in Mankind's quick victory. Since other galactic civilizations did not care for rules of engagement let alone our own kind, we wanted to reach out to the Bhalikhan themselves only to reach laughter, mockery, and deaf ears. Families, children, sick and wounded were never spared, some hostages even used for blood sport. And so we retaliated on a much, much greater level. We started by experimenting on captured warriors, the most gruesome and horrendous acts that the Geneva Convention were tossed out in cases like this, and from these acts did we learn of their anatomy, biology, and what exactly went on the minds of these reptilians. We created powerful diseases that not only made only this species deathly ill, but it also destroyed plenty of clutches and made breeding almost impossible thanks to gene changing agents in these diseases. When that wasn't enoigh, we started the Scorch Earth policy on their core home worlds, nuking these planets until they were permanently uninhabitable. We sent legions with flamethrowers and any destructive weapon deemed toi inappropriate for Human on Hunan conflicts, burned their clutches and raided any and all bunkers and safe houses. We hunted the Bhalikhan u tul only thousands existed and only then did they surrender in fear that Humanity would do far worse of they continued. And they were right. Many alien governments watched in horror as a once powerful and proud entity was cut down to a small margin, and again, we went back to these governments and bluntly asked them, "Are there rules of engagement and war?" Because we made an example of two species, Xenti and Bhalikhan, the greater galaxy has established these rules on our terms, when Humanity is involved, there are rules to follow. We weren't particularly strong, to them we were primitive but versatile and stubborn. A hive mind known as the Chorus had other ideas. A crustacean-like Fungloid species only known to us as the Chorus. They spread and carefully plant their spores in hosts and like the Bhalikhan and Xenti, the Chorus were conquerors under a singular mind. When they tried to attack a home world of ours we dubbed, "Envoy," They almost succeeded were it not for the volcanic regions we have learned to harvest. Factories and testing sites acted as safe houses for civilians and any military that had survived the onslaught, those infected were taken and any attempts at medically saving them were impossible. We again contacted the councils of the galaxy, who tried to reach out to the Chorus, but these creatures chose Mankind as the next species to be assimilated in their ranks. We did not take kindly to that, and we quickly realized that under the natural plating Chorus Drones were weak to fire. So this conflict became trivial, new generation suits were made to combat infection and hazop operations were widespread. We burned hives down until finally tracking down the queen, but instead of destroying it, we took the hyper-intelligent creature to an unknown planet that couldn't be tracked thanks to agents that limited telepathy. When knew the Drones had individual thought, and that they loved their hivemind so much, that we removed the agents blocking the telepathy. Of course, the galaxy was watching, as we only did the most Humane- And in terms, American or Canadian thing to do when the queen refused surrender, we forced ot to watch as the world's it spread to were burned into pits of hell, and when asked to surrender it still said no. So we bombed it to death with the newest set of nuclear arms that needed testing. When the new hivemind was created, it surrendered immediately, not wanting to same fate as its prior master nor of that of the Bhalikhan. There was new saying amongst the galactic powers that be, "When Mankind tells you there are rules of war, you follow them. Or face their wrath." ~~~~~ I think it's horrendous visually, hopefully I did a decent job on this tidbit, but a galaxy where rules of war didn't exist until Humans came into play. It also reveals exactly why Humanity has rules, and what happens when there aren't any, while we do fight internally when a foreign force tries to conquer and destroy it goes to show that we unite to completely tear it down. -

Gonna throw armor out here this time, different suit variations and whatnot that is standard for a military vessel, or similar vessel with military on it. Starting with the Reflex Physical Suit (RPS/"Body Glove") is an advanced piece of protection that is fitted to an individual. It is built of super strong metallic fibers that are more like cloth, and is layered with a liquid gel that hardens upon impact of kinetic force. This same liquid also helps protect the individual from extreme conditions, when in hot environments such as deserts it can keep the body cool, when in arctics it helps maintain the bodies core temperature, but it isn't perfect. The base variant has the above features for engineers, law enforcement, archeologists and thereof suiting an all purpose usage, while the m8litary application has built in armor plating built of ultra light titanium alloy mixed with ceramic Kevlar. The Carhart Utility/Security Uniform (CUSU) is generalized amongst engineers, dock workers, and manual laborers and more. It features heavy utility magnetic boots, leather/heavy clothed cargo pants, heavy clothed tops (sleeveless or sleeved), metal lined utility gloves, a Gen. I Combat Rig (torso) designed for utility and flak protection, and a Gen. I Aviator/Hazop Helmet complete with a crystal clear visor. Standardized amongst the infantry is the Gen. IV Combat Rig (Complete) which features full body armor all across the body, from head to toe is covered in strong alloy metal. Only weighing in at 60lbs. units are trained rigorously to get conditioned into these rigs. The helmets possess an onboard heads up display (HUD) via visor which features a 20 meter radial motion radar which differentiate between friend/foe, a built in radio, and a tracker/identifier for weapons, ammunition, explosives, and vehicles. The Gen. VII Advanced Reconnaissance Rig (ARG Armor/"Vanguard") is a unique variant that is stronger, lighter, and more advanced than the standard Gen. IV Combat Rig only granted to high ranking soldiers/officers. It is also called "Hellblazer" Rigs because those donning this combat uniform are sent on suicide missions, special operations, or are considered the desperate measure teams. The Vanguard Rig features ultralight alloy that helps displace kinetic energy as well as a state of the art individual over shield, which when depleted can recharge in moments as long as the Rig isn't compromised or receiving damage. -
